What is the role of the aspect programmer?

The aspect programmer is responsible for implementing aspect behaviour in the language of their choice and generating the corresponding binary component.

What is the role of the aspect modelling system?

The aspect modelling system is responsible for interpreting the XML aspect specification, modelling aspects in terms of their pointcuts and advice, and detecting whether join points match any aspect advice.

Why is AspectJ known as a source-level weaver?

Although AspectJ is known as a source-level weaver, the most recent release makes available byte-code weaving so that byte-code in existing .jar files can be targeted.

What is the XML schema used in Weave.NET?

The XML schema used in Weave.NET [19] was developed from a BNF grammar extracted from the Language Semantics Appendix ofthe AspectJ programming guide [34], and implemented in the W3C XML Schema Language [9].

What is the main drawback of the Reflection API?

Reflection API has been suggested as a tool for introspecting on existing assemblies [30], but, as noted previously, this API lacks the ability to directly access the IL stream.

What is the definition of execution join points?

For execution join points related to object instantiation, it is necessary to examine the IL at the start of the constructor to distinguish constructor execution from object initialization.

TL;DR: The term aspect-oriented programming (AOP) has come to describe the set of programming mechanisms developed specifically to express crosscutting concerns, which are composed, or woven, with traditionally encapsulated functionality referred to as components.

Abstract: The term aspect-oriented programming (AOP) has come to describe the set of programming mechanisms developed specifically to express crosscutting concerns. Since crosscutting concerns cannot be properly modularized within object-oriented programming, they are expressed as aspects and are composed, or woven, with traditionally encapsulated functionality referred to as components.Many AOP models exist, but their implementations are typically coupled with a single language. To allow weaving of existing components with aspects written in the language of choice, AOP requires a language-independent tool.

1. What have the authors contributed in "Language-independent aspect-oriented programming" ?

This paper presents Weave.

2. What are the future works in "Language-independent aspect-oriented programming" ?

Future work in Weave.. NET will involve broadening its crosscutting capabilities and reflection support to allow for more interesting aspect behaviour.

3. What are the obvious designators to support?

For the purposes of prototyping, the most obvious designators to support would be the execution and call pointcut designators, as they are simple to conceptualize and are used in API programming.

4. How does the weaver implement the behaviour?

Binding advice to implementing behaviour is done by having the XML advice description select the method implementing the required behaviour.

TL;DR: This paper proposes that the distinguishing characteristic of Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) systems is that they allow programming by making quantified programmatic assertions over programs written by programmers oblivious to such assertions.
