Execution Levels for Aspect-Oriented Programming

Papers:

• Execution Levels for Aspect-Oriented Programming: Design, Semantics, Implementations and Applications (SCP 2014)
• Execution Levels for Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOSD 2010)

Artefacts:

• Mechanized semantics (PLT Redex)
• LAScheme
• Manual inspection of AspectJ in Action (1st ed.)
• Manual inspection of 23 AspectJ projects
• IIIA loops examples
• Classpects loop example
• Levels and exceptions:
  • extended Redex model
  • LAScheme with level-aware exceptions
  • Racket with level-aware contract system
  • FOAL 2011 paper

Full list of changes and additions between the SCP and AOSD version:

• study of AspectJ in Action and of a corpus of 23 AspectJ projects (6)
• fixes in the semantics, and formulation and proof of the “aspect loop free” property (7 + Appendix)
• section on execution levels in practice (8), discussing implementations for Scheme, Java, and JavaScript, and their applications
• minor details, reformulations, restructuring, additions to related work (discussion of IIIA loops), etc.
