Re: [abc] plans

I have just spoken with Jennifer and Ondrej - who are in Montreal
at the moment, and they will send e-mail with those papers to which
they want to contribute. They are both actively finishing their
theses (Jennifer has given me a complete draft .... and Ondrej's is
soon to follow).

For me, I would like to contribute as follows:

> AOSD submission, September 23 (abstract) and 30 (paper):
> * Composing Aspects with Open Modules in AspectJ
>
> Extending Jonathan Aldrich's Open Modules proposal
> to the full AspectJ language, and how it is implemented

> Please don't distribute it, it's for internal use

I would like to contribute to this, but I'm not sure how to do so. Any
ideas how I could be useful?

I will rally the gang here. This will involve Alim and James (JingWu).
Sascha needs to be involved as he is the first around weaver. Which
other Oxford guys would like to be involved?

I'm not sure I will have the energy for this. Let's see how I am
after the CC rush.

I'm very interested in interproc analyses needed to further optimize. It
fits very well with my previous work in shape analysis (I think).

I think this is something that I continue to be interested in. Jennifer
has sent an update on where she is with Soot and Java 1.5. She will
continue working on the Soot 1.5 in the fall.
