ABSTRACT
Speed is a necessity in low-level systems software. Mechanisms through which it is achieved are often at odds with well-known practices in terms of evolution and maintenance tasks. Ironically, though these mechanisms often create adverse code conditions, in practice they thinly veil structural support associated with language mechanisms for both Object-Oriented (OO) and Aspect-Oriented (AO) programming. This paper argues for aggressive and comprehensive tools designed to provide support necessary for developers to take control in this high-speed, low-level systems domain. Through these tools, we envision evolving highly configurable single-source systems according to high-level structural principles, without imposing any speed limits on their underlying code.

Does Intentional Psychology Need Vindicating by Cognitive Science?
I argue that intentional psychology does not stand in need of vindication by a lower-level implementation theory from cognitive science, in particular the representational theory of mind (RTM), as most famously Jerry Fodor has argued. The stance of the ...

On Detection of Gapped Code Clones using Gap Locations
APSEC '02: Proceedings of the Ninth Asia-Pacific Software Engineering ConferenceIt is generally said that code clone is one of the factors to make software maintenance difficult.A code clone is a code portion in source files that is identical or similar to another.Clones are introduced because of various reasons such as reusing ...
