ABSTRACT
In this paper we present Damon, a decentralized wide-area runtime aspect middleware built on top of a structured peer-to-peer (p2p) substrate and a dynamic Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) framework. By using this methodology, we provide innovative benefits like aspect persistence and discovery, a high performance one-to-one/one-to-many messaging system, reflective skills, and a decentralized aspect container. Furthermore, new pointcut abstractions (anypointcut, manypointcut and multipointcut) are introduced, which allow development of shared aspect functionalities in a transparent way. We believe that such middleware is a novel solution for allowing decentralized crosscutting concerns like fault-tolerance or load-balancing for distributed systems. This paper describes these ideas and it presents a use case of our middleware implementation.

Context: The development of distributed applications in large-scale environments has always been a complex task. In order to guarantee non-functional properties like scalability or availability, developers are usually faced with the same problems over ...
An Efficient Hybrid Peer-to-Peer System for Distributed Data Sharing
Peer-to-peer overlay networks are widely used in distributed systems. Based on whether a regular topology is maintained among peers, peer-to-peer networks can be divided into two categories: structured peer-to-peer networks in which peers are connected ...
