A per-type instantiation mechanism for generic aspects
Pages 25 - 30
Abstract
We propose a per-type instantiation mechanism for generic aspects. Though AspectJ supports generic aspects, which declare type parameters, we cannot declare aspects that are parametrized over both field types and return types of applied join points without manually concretizing the type parameters. Our mechanism creates an instance of a generic aspect for each type of the applied join points.

Recommendations
Type-directed weaving of aspects for polymorphically typed functional languages
Incorporating aspect-oriented paradigm to a polymorphically typed functional language enables the declaration of type-scoped advice, in which the effect of an aspect can be harnessed by introducing possibly polymorphic type constraints to the aspect. ...
Making aspects natural: events and composition
AOSD '11: Proceedings of the tenth international conference on Aspect-oriented software developmentLanguage extensions are proposed to make aspects more natural for programmers. The extensions involve two main elements: (1) Completely separating the identification of events and locally accumulating information about them from any possible response to ...
Taming aspects
VariComp '13: Proceedings of the 4th international workshop on Variability & compositionAspect-oriented programming languages support the modular definition of crosscutting abstractions. In most languages, this is achieved through pointcuts, which provide a means for quantifying over execution events in order to implicitly trigger advice. ...
