Mira Mezini and Karl Lieberherr:
Visitors as components

A study of interactions between the building blocks of AP
Rondo proposes a better way to separate and connect visitors or
adjustments, strategies and class graphs.

We will study how to compose graph algorithms, such as cycle checking,
from simpler visitors, following an example used by Holland, Notkin,
van Hilst and Batory.

We will discuss how visitors as components might fit into Demeter/Java.

Karl Lieberherr:
Environmental acquisition and AP

In an OOPSLA '96 paper, Gil and Lorenz introduce the concept of
environmental acquisition. Adaptive programming has some good answers
to dealing with environmental acquisition.
