| | Hello altogether.
| |
| | On http://bodden.de/publications you will find two new papers about
| | employing ABC in order to implement so-called "concern specific
| | languages".
| |
| | What those are supposed to be is described in the theoretical paper
| | "Concern specific languages and their implementation with ABC", which
| | hopefully will be accepted for the SPLAT workshop accompanying the
| | AOSD 05 conference.
| |
| | The practitioners' paper "Implementing concern-specific languages
| | with ABC" has not such a similar title by accident: It actually tells
| | the same story but from an implementor's point of view. It is meant
| | as a guide for developers who are new to ABC and want to implement
| | concern specific languages with ABC. In my eyes it goes somewhat more
| | into detail than the paper "An extensible AspectJ compiler" when it
| | comes to the actual implementation, which might be helpful sometimes.
| | Additionally I describe how Java 5 annotations can be used to specify
| | such concern specific languages, how annotations can be extracted and
| | how aspects can be generated out of them and stuck into the
| | compilation process. Also I tried to reflect on the effort I had to
| | overcome while using ABC and give some advice on possible
| | improvements. Here I should probably mention, that implementing
| | concern specific languages usually means performing AST rewrites,
| | reducing the code to AspectJ code, so one uses the frontend only.
| | Thus I do not comment on, nor evaluate any backend functionality.
| |
| | However, it would be great if you had any comments about this work.
| | At the latest I might see you at AOSD 05 where I will probably attend
| | your tutorial.
| |
| | Also if you would like to link the works from your ABC website, feel
| | free to do so.
| |
| | Cheers,
| | Eric

| Hi Eric!
|
| Is the link correct/site online? I am trying to access it for aprox 1 hour, but no success.
|
| thanks,

Sorry. It is working (just some changes with the proxy conf).
