“…Using meta‐level programming techniques on a runtime system can have a significant performance impact. Evidence from practical applications of Bifröst, like Subjectopia , a subjective system, MetaSpy , a domain‐specific profiler, and object‐centric debugging , showed that the performance impact does not affect the usability of these tools.…”

SUMMARYReuse in object-oriented languages typically focuses on inheritance. Numerous techniques have been developed to provide finer-grained reuse of methods, such as flavors, mixins, and traits. These techniques, however, only deal with reuse at the level of classes. Class-based reuse is inherently static. Increasing use of reflection and meta-programming techniques in real-world applications underlines the need for more dynamic approaches. New approaches have shifted to object-specific reuse. However, these techniques fail to provide a complete solution to the composition issues arising during reuse. We propose a new approach that deals with reuse at the object level and that supports behavioral and state composition. We introduce a new abstraction called a talent that models features that are shared between objects of different class hierarchies. Talents provide a composition mechanism that is as flexible as that of traits but that is dynamic. Copyright

“…Numerous methods and techniques such as Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP), Subject-oriented programming [HO93,LRN11] and special programming techniques for one-dimensional systems in the form of architectural and design patterns have been conceived to handle concerns in adaptive systems. The problems with these techniques are that they either require the use of special tools and languages, such as aspect description languages and compilers, or reprogramming of the mechanisms mdp already provides for every problem instance.…”

In 2014, Ungar et al. proposed Korz, a new computational model for structuring adaptive (objectoriented) systems [UOK14]. Korz combines implicit parameters and multiple dispatch to structure the behavior of objects in a multidimensional space. Korz is a simple yet expressive model which does not require special programming techniques such as the Visitor or Strategy pattern to accommodate a system for emerging contextual requirements.We show how the ideas of Korz can be integrated in a Prolog system by extending its syntax and semantics with simple meta-programming techniques. We developed a library, called mdp (multidimensional predicates) which can be used to experiment with multidimensional Prolog systems. We highlight its benefits with numerous scenarios such as printing debugging information, memoization, object-oriented programming and adaptive GUIs.In particular, we point out that we can structure and extend Prolog programs with additional concerns in a clear and concise manner. We also demonstrate how Prolog's unique meta-programming capabilities allow for quick experimentation with syntactical and semantical enhancement of the new, multidimensional model.While there are many open concerns, such as efficiency and comprehensibility in the case of larger systems, we will see that we can use the leverage of mdp and Prolog to explore new horizons in the design of adaptive systems.
