TLDR
A new "aspect-enabled" component model, which contains build-in traps that enable to interfere with the normal execution of a component, is proposed that is backward-compatible with the Java Beans component model.Abstract:
In this paper we introduce a novel aspect oriented implementation language, called JAsCo. JAsCo is tailored for component based development and the Java Beans component model in particular. The JAsCo language introduces two concepts: aspect beans and connectors. An aspect bean describes behavior that interferes with the execution of a component by using a special kind of inner class, called a hook. The specification of a hook is context independent and therefore reusable. A connector on the other hand, is used for deploying one or more hooks within a specific context. To implement the JAsCo language, we propose a new "aspect-enabled' component model, which contains build-in traps that enable to interfere with the normal execution of a component. The JAsCo component model is backward-compatible with the Java Beans component model. Furthermore, the JAsCo component model allows very flexible aspect application, adaptation and removal at run-time. The necessary tool support for the JAsCo approach has been implemented. In addition, we present a performance assessment of our current implementation.read more

Architectural aspects of architectural aspects
TL;DR: This document studies in some detail the recently developed concept of aspect at the architecture level, which introduces a novel kind of modularization and composition in software, and therefore it defines new structures which must be studied by Software Architecture, determining the architectural features of aspects.

Adapting virtual machine techniques for seamless aspect support
TL;DR: This work presents how well-known virtual machine techniques can be used with only slight modifications to support fast aspect deployment while retaining runtime performance, and accelerates dynamic aspect deployment by several orders of magnitude relative to mainstream aspect-oriented environments.

A component-based and aspect-oriented model for software evolution
TL;DR: Fractal Aspect Component is proposed, a general and symmetrical model for components and aspects which decomposes a software system into regular components and aspect components which embody crosscutting concerns.

On the criteria to be used in decomposing systems into modules
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss modularization as a mechanism for improving the flexibility and comprehensibility of a system while allowing the shortening of its development time, and the effectiveness of modularization is dependent upon the criteria used in dividing the system into modules.
