| Summary: | Most aspect-oriented programming technology used today uses a linguistic
approach that enables programmers to write modular crosscutting code.
Two limitations of these approaches are that there is only one decomposition
present for a code-base and that they require developers to adopt a new (or
extended) programming language. We propose fluid AOP to modularize
crosscutting concerns without these limitations.
Fluid AOP provides mechanisms in the IDE for creating constructs that
localize a software developer's interaction for a specific task. These constructs
act as fluid aspects of the system. They are editable representations
of the subset of the code-base that the developer needs to interact with
to perform a task. We present three fluid AOP prototypes and provide
comparisons between them; as well as comparisons between the fluid AOP,
linguistic AOP, and non AOP approaches. === Science, Faculty of === Computer Science, Department of === Graduate
