Reusability is the key to reduction in software costs for embedded systems. Software is only reusable if it can be adapted to different operational environments. Conventional software technologies promote functional adaptability. In the embedded world, however, non-functional aspects are especially important. This paper introduces Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) as a technique to achieve adap...

Aspect-orientation has gained increasing popularity, especially within the programming domain, with textual-based approaches such as AspectJ. Aspect-orientation provides an approach to the organization and management of code that cross-cut elements of the base program or library. Cross-cutting aspects is also an issue within the modeling domain, and it is therefore likely that modeling language...

Rather than using length-based or translation-based criterion to align bilingual texts, this paper proposes a part-of-speech-based (POS-based) criterion. The postulation is that bilingual texts should share the same concepts, ideas, entities and events. In addition, these are usually represented by some critical POSes. Thus, the numbers of critical POSes in a language pair of a bead are close. ...
