Aspects and Data Refinement

  • Conference paper
Mathematics of Program Construction (MPC 2006)

Abstract

We give an introduction to aspect-oriented programming from the viewpoint of data refinement. Some data refinements are conveniently expressed via aspects. Unlike traditional programming language features for data refinement, aspects conceptually transform run-time events, not compile-time programs.
