“…WrapperAssistant [17] is a code generation tool (aspect weaver) for adding faulttolerance support to applications targetting the .NET Framework and written in the C# language, which is very similar to our own. It uses C# attributes for parameterizing fault-tolerance support for chosen classes and runs at compile-time.…”

Abstract. Developing a distributed application for mobile resource constrained devices is a difficult and error-prone task that requires awareness of several system-level details (e.g., fault-tolerance, ...). Several mobile middleware solutions addressing these issues have been proposed. However, they rely on either significant changes in application structure, extensions to the programming language syntax and semantics, domain specific languages, cumbersome development tools, or a combination of the above. The main disadvantages of these approaches are lack of transparency and reduced portability. In this paper we describe our work on enabling transparent integration between applications and middleware without changing application structure, extending the programming language or otherwise reducing portability. We used the OBI-WAN middleware but our solutions are general. To achieve this goal we employ program analysis and transformation techniques for extending application code with hooks for calling middleware services. Application code extension is performed automatically at compile-time by a code extension tool integrated with the development environment tool set. We describe the implementation of our .NET and Java prototypes and discuss evaluation results.

“…However, sometimes it is desirable to postpone the decision about whether aspect information is to be added to an application or not until runtime. For instance, one may have a huge resource-consuming image processing algorithm as part of an application and, depending on system load and available computing nodes, a trade-off between data distribution, the memory allocation scheme, and the utilization of computing power at runtime, has to be made [Schult 2002]. Both memory allocation and calculation distribution are crosscutting concerns, but the selection must be performed at runtime by the application in a programmatically way.…”

“…In order to overcome the static-weaving weaknesses, different dynamic-weaving approaches have emerged: AOP/ST [Böllert 1999], PROSE [Popovici 2001], Dynamic Aspect-Oriented Platform (DAOP) [Pinto 2001], Java Aspects Components JAC [Pawlak 2001], CLAW [Lam 2002] or LOOM.NET [Schult 2002] are different examples. These systems give the programmer the ability to dynamically modify the aspect code assigned to application join points.…”

Persistence is a common application requirement that is usually taken into account when the program is being developed. Different emerging techniques following the Separation of Concerns principle are focused on detaching crosscutting concerns, like persistence, from the main application code. Although this is a profitable principle, existing tools lack two main features: runtime adaptability and language independence. This paper shows how computational reflection can be employed as a suitable technique to overcome the two previous limitations, offering dynamic adaptation of persistence features in a language independent way and achieving transparent separation of the application's persistence concern.

“…With the static aspect weaver LOOM.NET by Wolfgang Schult [14,13], we are able to weave aspects on the abstraction of binary component code. So we are able to add configurability to a binary component with almost no interaction with the component programmer.…”
