[abc] AAA keynote draft

Friends,

I'm giving a keynote at the "Astrenet Aspect Analysis" workshop in Benevento
this coming Tuesday [urk, missing OOPSLA on this account]. The audience
knows AspectJ; it's associated with a conference on re-engineering, so their
notion of `analysis' is more like pointcut matching than like dataflow
analysis.

The web page of the workshop can be found here:

I have a whopping 90 minutes to pontificate.

A draft of the slides can be found here:

Thanks to Neil and Pavel for already giving me useful feedback on the
slides. Of course the remaining errors are all mine!

Further suggestions for improvement would be very welcome, especially before
I travel to Italy on Monday. As you can see, I go quite deeply into the POPL
paper, but I intend the last part of the talk to be lighter, hopefully
stimulating some discussion on the AspectJ choice of joinpoints [throw it
out! power to the people!], and open modules.

Should I expand the last part a bit [45 slides is already a lot for 90
minutes]? Is there too much datalog in the talk?

Cheers,

-Oege
