AOSD Methods and Foundations Page for Demeter Project

• Law of Demeter for Concerns "Only talk to your friends that contribute to your current concerns": A surprisingly simple explanation of what AOSD is about.
• Law of Demeter "Only talk to your friends": At first sight an anti-AOP rule because it invites scattering information across many modules.
• Ian Holland's Executable Contracts An early form of aspects encapsulating object collaborations.
• Adaptive Plug-And-Play Components An early form of aspectual components.
• Aspectual Components They were a response to AspectJ's initially tight coupling between aspects and base code.
• Adaptive Specification of Pointcuts Crosscutting and adaptiveness are tightly linked.
• Dynamic JoinPoint Model Demeter has used early on a dynamic join point model for traversal methods.
• Synchronization Aspect Language | Data Transfer Aspect Language Crista Lopes introduced aspect languages for synchronization and data transfer that later resulted in her thesis at PARC and the first version of AspectJ.
• Integrating AOP and AP We have explored the design space for integration and proposed a specific solution using AspectJ.
