Unifying Aspect and Object-Oriented Program Design

Speaker: Hridesh Rajan (University of Virginia)

Date: April 14, 2005

Talk: 10:30 am, 366 WVH

Abstract

Aspect-oriented programming provides new ideas on and mechanisms for structuring programs to improve our ability to modularize complex software systems effectively. However, aspect-oriented programming languages and tools are still in their infancy, and their design and application remain relatively unexplored.

I will show that it is possible to bring a new level of conceptual unity to the current AO programming model without sacrificing on the expressiveness of the most successful aspect-oriented models. This new programming model is not only simpler, but it also improves the modularization of integration and higher-order concerns, and creates valuable new possibilities for structuring systems with aspects.
