Incremental Programming with Extensible Decisions (Tech Report)

This is the initial submitted form of my AOSD '02 paper, also published as Northeastern Tech Report NU-CCS-02-01.

Abstract

This paper proposes a new model of programming, in which the behavior of a program can be defined as separate decision point branches. Allowing more precise expression of the condition determining when a branch should be chosen at a decision point leads to better support for incremental programming. This model can be viewed as a fundamental mechanism underlying both OOP and AOP, which can serve as lower-level building blocks that can be put together into the higher-level constructs present in many AOP systems.
