....are also incorporating meta models for extensibility, and allow to define tailored system for 120 specific purposes. Those systems include operating systems[128, 129] a window system [101] modeling languages[102] documentation and data exchange format[10] and management of evolving software[68, 82, 90]. We believe that the notions and techniques presented in the dissertation would also be useful to those extensible systems. Especially, 1) not only ad hoc mechanisms for extension, but more generic approach like meta interpreters could be applicable to those systems, without imposing serious ....

....an adjuster. An adjuster adds behavior to a group of collaborating classes permanently while a visitor adds behavior during a traversal only. The strategies of an adjuster serve as strategy types and give the overall communication paths for the behavior in question. See Mira Mezini s Ph.D. thesis [Mez97] for her related ideas on Rondo. Johan Ovlinger implemented traversals very dynamically. In his tool, called TAO, a strategy graph is an object which may be computed at run time. TAO has a traverse method which takes a vector of visitors as arguments. TAO and plug and play visitors complement ....

....Programming , Ph.D. thesis 1997. 2.6 Ph.D. Committees I serve on the committee of Michael Werner. He comes regularly to the Demeter seminar and is working on topics of interest to our research group. The advisor is Ken. I served on the Ph.D. committees of Mira Mezini, University of Siegen [Mez97] and Patty Lutsky at Brandeis University. For Patty Lutsky I attended both the comprehensive exam as well as the thesis defense. Communication with Mira was all by email (until she arrived here) but much more in depth since her interests are closely related to mine. 2.7 Reading and Project ....

....particularly useful form of AOP. However, there are many applications of AOP that do not fall into the AP category. One of them is the image processing application at Xerox PARC that does loop folding based on an aspect description language. For further related work on software composition, see [Mezini97]. SUMMARY AOP moves away from using a single composition mechanism for building software. AOP supports multiple composition mechanisms which are expressed in terms of aspect modules and their semantics. This leads to new forms of modularity which have a very positive effect on simplifying ....

....dynamic object level, both incremental and overriding method update are possible. As a context object scopes its attributes and methods, incremental composition will not result in naming issues. Mira Mezini s work on variation oriented computing in Rondo has similarities to context objects [28] [29]. She uses adjustments to modify a group of classes when a certain behavior is desired. Adjustments dynamically add behavior in a similar way as context objects add behavior dynamically. With context objects we package adjustments into context classes, but a similar mechanism could also be used ....

....and editing it. Another problem with the framework based composition results from naming issues that might raise when an application combines more than one refinement of the framework (e.g. conflicts may occur in AgingAndFrequentCustomerConcreteLineItem) In a more general context, several works [18, 20] show that inheritance does not provide an effective composition mechanism when a considerable number of behavior variations exist and can be arranged in several different combinations for creating more complex variations. These works motivate the need for more flexible mechanisms for composing ....

....to satisfy the requirements (R 1 and R 2 ) listed above: ffl In achieving structural genericity we borrow and further develop the Adaptive Programming [16, 17] technology for decoupling structure from behavior. ffl In achieving decoupled behavioral composition we partly reuse ideas from Rondo [20] and partly apply the technique of programming to interfaces. Because of its importance for understanding APPCs, in the following key ideas behind Adaptive Programming will be first briefly outlined. 3.1 Adaptive Programming One of the key elements of adaptive programming is the concept of a ....
