ABSTRACT
Developing a machine model natively supporting aspect-oriented programming (AOP) is fruitful not only for implementing interpreters and compilers for AOP languages but also for understanding the essence of the AOP paradigm. This position paper shows a machine model based on open classes and predicate dispatch and it briefly describes a list of predicates that are necessary for modeling AspectJ. This machine model is useful for comparing AOP and object-oriented programming (OOP) on a side-by-side basis. Our initial observation is that AOP is a natural extension to OOP with respect to language constructs.
