Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) |
Description |
It is all too common an experience to find that adding a single new functional
feature to an existing application requires touching many widely distributed
parts of the application. To address this problem, AOP provides tools to
enable the succinct specification of such "crosscutting" features. Thus,
for example, one could add a transaction logging facility to an application
with a single specification, even though most modules in an application
would be affected by such a feature. |
Deliverables |
A toolset for specifying aspect-oriented languages that mix with existing
languages to allow the specification of high-level aspects. |
Contributions |
A general infrastructure for the creation and implementation of aspect-oriented
languages. |
