MODULARITY

One of the fundamental motivations for employing exception handling in the development of robust applications is to lexically separate error handling code from the normal code so that they can be independently modified. However, experience has shown ...

Reuse of aspects, and pointcuts more specifically, becomes more and more important as AOP matures and libraries will include aspects. The Elementary Pointcut [2] design pattern aims to improve the reusability of aspects that combine pointcuts and advice ...

This paper describes a proven approach to the adoption of AOP in commercial projects, which balances the risks and effort on one side versus the benefits on the other.

High performance computing applications often must handle on the order of peta bytes of data during their operation. Such large data sets inherently require distributed storage. Emerging distributed storage solutions in this realm, such as our L-Store ...

This paper demonstrates the benefits of using Aspect-Orientation in state based systems using patterns instead of Aspect-Oriented Programming languages, frameworks, or tools. State based subsystems implemented with the State Pattern interact by binding ...

Aspect technology has been used to describe concerns that had been thought to be unmodularizable. Some of those concerns have to do with workflows in an application's domain and sequencing of operation invocations within the application. Another ...
