Profiling blueprint is a visual representation of software execution [1]. As most profiling reports, profiling blueprint offers a post-mortem report of an execution. Such a profile blueprint aims at rapidly identifying software components that poorly ...

An application execution profile has meaning only when it is compared to another profile obtained from a slightly different executing context. Unfortunately, current profilers do not efficiently support performance comparison across multiple profiles. ...

As software evolves, data types have to be extended, possibly with new data variants or new operations. Object-oriented design is well-known to support data extensions well. In fact, most popular books showcase data extensions to illustrate how objects ...

Back-in-time debuggers offer an interactive exploration interface to execution traces. However, maintaining a good level of interactivity with large execution traces is challenging. Current approaches either maintain execution traces in memory, which ...

Code profilers are used to identify execution bottlenecks and understand the cause of a slowdown. Execution sampling is a monitoring technique commonly employed by code profilers because of its low impact on execution. Regularly sampling the execution ...

Typestate reflects how the legal operations on imperative objects can change at runtime as their internal state changes. A typestate checker can statically ensure, for instance, that an object method is only called when the object is in a state for ...

At the core of the Plaid typestate-oriented programming language is the ability to change the representation of an object at run-time. As such, the semantics of the state change operation impact how Plaid programs are structured and how objects are ...

The emerging field of context-oriented programming gives a predominant role to the execution context of applications, and advocates the use of dedicated mechanisms to allow the elegant expression of behavioural adaptations to such context. With suitable ...

Context-oriented programming treats execution context explicitly and provides means for context-dependent adaptation at runtime. This is achieved, for example, using dynamic layer activation and contextual dispatch, where the context consists of a layer ...

This report summarizes the main activities held during the third workshop on object-technology for Ambient Intelligence and Pervasive Computing. The goals of this workshop series are to identify and discuss the impact of Ambient Intelligence on object-...

The topics on aspects, dependencies and interactions are among the key remaining challenges to be tackled by the Aspect-Oriented Software Development (AOSD) community to enable a wide adoption of AOSD technology. This second workshop, organized and ...
