Improving Reuse And Maintainability Of Communication Software With Conversation-Aware Aspects, Ali Raza
Improving Reuse And Maintainability Of Communication Software With Conversation-Aware Aspects, Ali Raza
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Inter-process communications (IPC) are ubiquitous in today’s software systems, yet they are rarely treated as first-class programming concepts. Implementing crosscutting concerns for message-based IPC are difficult, even using aspect-oriented programming languages (AOPL) such as AspectJ. Many of these challenges are because the context of a communication-related crosscutting concern is often a conversation consisting of message sends and receives. Hence, developers typically have to implement communication protocols manually using primitive operations, such as connect, send, receive, and close. This dissertation describes an extension to AspectJ, called CommJ, with which developers can implement communication-related concerns in cohesive and loosely coupled aspects. It …
