Abstract:Aspect mining tries to identify crosscutting concerns in the code of existing systems and thus supports their adaption to an aspect-oriented design.A semi-automatic static aspect mining approach is described, where the program's control flow graphs are investigated for recurring execution patterns based on different constraints, such as the requirement that the patterns have to exist in different calling contexts. Two case studies done with the implemented tool show that many discovered candidates for crosscut… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
