Abstract
Properties such as logging, persistence, debugging, tracing, distribution,
performance monitoring and exception handling occur in most programming
paradigms and are normally very difficult or even impossible to modularize
with traditional modularization mechanisms because they are cross-cutting.
Recently, aspect-oriented programming has enjoyed recognition as a practical
solution for separating these concerns. In this paper we describe an extension
to the Stratego term rewriting language for capturing such properties. We show
our aspect language offers a concise, practical and adaptable solution for
dealing with unanticipated algorithm extension for forward data-flow propagation
and dynamic type checking of terms. We briefly discuss some of the challenges
faced when designing and implementing an aspect extension for and in a
rule-based term rewriting system.
