“…Our BPEL engine comes with two BPEL-specific aspect languages (developed in-house with the SmartTools tool suite [11]) to program behaviour and structural transformations. Both languages use XPath (a language for addressing parts of XML documents) as the pointcut language to identify where additional behaviours should be woven or structural transformation should be performed in the BPEL documents.…”

The emergence of converged services is driving communication service providers to cut back on software engineering costs, shorten time-to-market and build personalisable services. As illustrated by BT's 21CN architecture initiative, the industry is responding with the vision of next-generation service delivery platforms (SDPs). The move towards SDPs demands a principled approach to achieve reuse, modularity, and evolvability of software artefacts, ranging from business processes to application components. To this end, new proposals, such as generative programming, aspect-oriented programming, and model-driven engineering, are put forward to complement traditional object-oriented and component programming paradigms.Aspect-oriented programming -the focus of this paper -endorses the principle of separation of concerns. Originally devoted to the modularisation of crosscutting concerns (e.g. synchronisation, security, debugging, monitoring), it has grown from an aspect-oriented extension to Java (AspectJ) into a general approach for the development of adaptive software artefacts. The purpose of this paper is to introduce aspect technology and demonstrate its versatility across three different application domains. Specifically, we present an aspect-based extension to a process execution language (BPEL) for developing adaptable workflows, an AspectJ-based instrumentation of a field resource scheduling system, and a proposal to customise mobile services using aspects. While the technology is still maturing, we hope this paper will raise the level of awareness on the potential of aspects across BT.

Weaving aspects into Web service orchestrations

Web Service orchestration engines need to be more open to enable the addition of new behaviours into service-based applications. In this paper, we illustrate how, in a BPEL engine with aspect-weaving capabilities, a process-driven application based on the Google Web Service can be dynamically adapted with new behaviours and hot-fixed to meet unforeseen postdeployment requirements. Business processes (the application skeletons) can be enriched with additional features such as debugging, execution monitoring, or an application-specific GUI.Dynamic aspects are also used on the processes themselves to tackle the problem of hot-fixes to long running processes. In this manner, composing a Web Service 'on-the-fly' means weaving its choreography interface into the business process.

C e n t r u m v o o r W i s k u n d e e n I n f o r m a t i c aA Strafunski Application Letter ABSTRACT Strafunski is a Haskell-centred software bundle for implementing language processing components -most notably program analyses and transformations. Typical application areas include program optimisation, refactoring, software metrics, software re-and reverse engineering. Strafunski started out as generic programming library complemented by generative tool support to address the concern of generic traversal over typed representations of parse trees in a scalable manner. Meanwhile, Strafunski also encompasses means of integrating external components such as parsers, pretty printers, and graph visualisation tools. In a selection of case studies, we demonstrate that typed functional programming in Haskell, augmented with Strafunski's support for generic traversal and external components, is very appropriate for the development of practical language processors. In particular, we discuss using Haskell for Cobol reverse engineering, Java code metrics, and Haskell re-engineering. Strafunski started out as generic programming library complemented by generative tool support to address the concern of generic traversal over typed representations of parse trees in a scalable manner. Meanwhile, Strafunski also encompasses means of integrating external components such as parsers, pretty printers, and graph visualisation tools.
