Object-oriented languages provide insufficient answers regarding reuse of hierarchies of classes especially because mechanisms provided for separating application concerns are not sufficient. We propose to extend object-oriented languages, Java in the current implementation, to address this particular issue. The model, inspired by approaches dedicated to the separation of concerns, introduces a...

This paper presents an architectural pattern for structuring adaptive applications using aspectoriented programming in order to obtain separation of concerns. It is composed of known and novel patterns organized so as to provide good maintainability and modularity. 1

The essence of object orientation is that objects collaborate by sending messages to each other. Mainstream object technology has repressed this simple picture, focusing on programming languages, classes and inheritance. With the "new" components coupled with distribution, we finally capture the true power of objects: Simple solutions, unlimited scaling, distributed ownership, separation of con...

This paper outlines past and future work on the topic of recycling systems. This project focuses on the performance of recycling systems from a range of perspectives. The recyclability of products, separation efficiencies for recycling processes and systems built from these processes, and economic factors contributing to the success of recycling enterprises are all considered. The goal of this ...

A number of approaches have been proposed to provide support for crosscutting concerns at the design level. This paper compares some of these design approaches. A set of “good design” criteria is used to identify strengths and weaknesses of the individual approaches. The paper concludes with a proposition to unify the strengths of the discussed approaches into a more effective model.

We focus on the challenges and issues associated with Big Data, and propose a novel architecture that uses the principles of Separation of Concerns and distributed computing to overcome many of the challenges associated with storage, analysis and integrity. We address the issue of asymmetrical distribution of power between the originators of data and the organizations and institutions that make...
