“…Douence et al [6] model crosscut definitions with execution trace parsers and weavers with execution monitors. De Volder et al [16] propose a meta-programming framework based on Prolog where crosscuts are specified by predicates on abstract syntax trees. Walker et al [17] introduce an abstract machine to define the operational semantics of ML extended with aspects; Tucker and Krishnamurthi [15] rely on abstract machines as well.…”

Aspect-Oriented Programming promises separation of concerns at the implementation level. However, aspects are not always orthogonal and aspect interaction is a fundamental problem. In this paper, we extend previous work on a generic framework for the formal definition and interaction analysis of stateful aspects. We propose three important extensions which enhance expressivity while preserving static analyzability of interactions. First, we provide support for variables in aspects in order to share information between different execution points. This allows the definition of more precise aspects and to avoid detection of spurious conflicts. Second, we introduce generic composition operators for aspects. This enables us to provide expressive support for the resolution of conflicts among interacting aspects. Finally, we offer a means to define applicability conditions for aspects. This makes interaction analysis more precise and paves the way for reuse of aspects by making explicit requirements on contexts in which aspects must be used.

“…For instance a Prolog-like language on top of Java or Smalltalk. Several implementations have been developed of this approach, like TyRuBa [8] for Java and SOUL [28] for Smalltalk. Note that similar to Prolog, the order of the rules is important.…”

Theo D'Hondt, Programming Technology Lab, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium Evolving a software system not only affects the source code responsible for the core application, but also the user interface. Unfortunately user interface code is often scattered through and entangled with the application code. In large and complex user-interfaces, this tangling renders the implementation complex and hard to maintain. Currently, the application needs to perform both the necessary changes to the user-interface (e.g. disabling other buttons, propagating events, etc.) as well as invoke the required application logic. The Deuce framework (Declarative User Interface Concerns Extrication) intends to reduce the complexity of user-interface implementations by applying separation of concerns on three UI concerns : presentation logic, business and data logic, and connection logic. It does so by using a declarative meta-language (SOUL) on top of an object oriented language (Smalltalk) such that an adequate language is provided to describe the entire structure and behaviour of the user-interface, as well as to link it with the application.

A development task related to a crosscutting concern is challenging because a developer can easily get lost when exploring scattered elements of code and the complex tangle of relationships between them. In this paper we present a source browsing tool that improves the developer's ability to work with crosscutting concerns by providing better support for exploring code. Our tool helps the developer to remain oriented while exploring and navigating across a code base. The cognitive burden placed on a developer is reduced by avoiding disorienting view switches and by providing an explicit representation of the exploration process in terms of exploration paths.
