What is this workshop about?

Join points are the locus of aspect and functional code interaction. Traditional aspect systems define join points in terms of the static structure of programs, such as syntactic method calls, method entry and field access.

Research interests of the AOSD community have been extended beyond static aspects. In some situations, it is desirable to invoke or change aspect behavior based on the dynamics of program execution. Such situations include changing behavior based on the call-stack context, co-occurrence of predicate triggers, concurrent thread status, or events in the underlying interpreter such as storage reclamation or process scheduling.

This workshop will identify examples of useful dynamic aspect behavior, suggest appropriate linguistic structures for dynamic aspects, and discuss implementation techniques for dynamic aspects, such as shadow compilation, dynamically changeable hook points, and modifications required in the underlying execution environment. The workshop organizers are particularly interested in position papers that describe experience with dynamic aspect systems or that outline real problems which need dynamic aspects.
