In recent years, numerous studies have identified and explored issues related to web-service-oriented business process specifications, such as business process execution language (BPEL). In particular, business rules are an important cross-cutting concern that should be distinguished from business process instances. In this paper, we present a rule-based aspect oriented programming (AOP) framework where business rule aspects contained in business processes can be effectively separated and executed. This is achieved by using a mechanism of the business rule itself at the business rule engine instead of using existing programming language-based AOP technologies. Through some illustrative examples, this work also introduces a method by which business rule aspects, separated through an external rule engine, can be represented and evaluated. We also demonstrate how they can be dynamically woven and executed by providing an implementation example which uses two open-source-based products, the Mandarax rules engine and Bexee BPEL engine.

Database replication is utilized to increase credibility, availability and prevent overload of distributed databases. Two models currently exist for replication - Master/Slave and Multi-Master. Since the Multi-Master model has problems of increasing complexity and costs to interface among multiple databases for updates and inserts, the Master/Slave model is more appropriate when frequent data inserts and updates are required. However, Master/Slave model also has a problem of not having exact criteria when systems choose to connect between Master and Slave for transactions. Therefore, this research suggests a routing algorithm based on AOP (Aspect Oriented Programming) in the Master/Slave database model. The algorithm classifies applications as cross-cutting concerns based on AOP, modularizes each concern, and routes transactions among Master and Slave databases. This paper evaluates stability and performance of the suggested algorithm through integration tests based on scenarios.

As smartphones are rapidly and widely spread, their applications request gradually larger computation power. Recently, in the personal computer, computing power of hardware has exceeded performance requirement of software sometimes. Computing power of smartphone, however, will not grow at the same pace as demand of applications because of form factor to seek thinner devices and power limitation by relatively slow technical progress of battery. Computation offloading is getting huge attention as one of solution for the problem. It has not commonly used technology in spite of advantages for performance and power consumption since the existing offloading frameworks are difficult for application developer to utilize. This paper presents an application developer-friendly offloading framework, named SorMob. Based on Aspect Oriented Programming model, SorMob provides a convenient environment for application development, and its performance was verified by comparing with the existing offloading framework.

In this paper, we propose a real-time remote logging model for development of android applications using LBS(Location based Service). The model has two major parts: Mobile Log Management Service and Remote Log Server. Mobile Log Management Service consists of the log collector and the remote log manager. The log collector is an aspect of AOP which can collect logs from the target application without modifications of source codes. The remote log manager has a background service component so that it can receive logs whenever the log collector captures logs from the target application. Remote Log Server communicates with Mobile Log Management Service by socket interface. Therefore, Remote Log Server can show logs in real-time. To validate the efficiency of the proposed model, we show a case study, and compare the model with other models.

Aspect-oriented programming is the paradigm which extracts crosscutting concern from a system and solves scattering of a function and confusion of a code through software modularization. Existing aspect developing method has a difficult to extract a target area, so it is not easy to apply aspect mining. In an aspect minning, it is necessary a technique that convert existing program refactoring elements to crosscutting area. In the paper, it is suggested an aspect mining technique for extracting crosscutting concern in a system. Using abstract syntax structure specification, extract functional duplicated relation elements. Through Apriori algorithm, it is possible to create a duplicated syntax tree and automatic creation and optimization of a duplicated source module, target of crosscutting area. As a result of applying module of Berkeley Yacc(berbose.c) to mining process, it is confirmed that the length and volume of program has been decreased of 9.47% compared with original module, and it has been decreased of 4.92% in length and 5.11% in volume compared with CCFinder.

The Mobile agent-based distributed systems become obtaining significant popularity as a potential vehicle to allow software components to be executed on heterogeneous environments despite mobility of users and computations. However, as these systems generally force mobile agents to use only common functionalities provided in every execution environment, the agents may not access environment-specific resources. In this paper, we propose a new framework using Aspect Oriented Programming technique to accommodate a variety of static resources as well as dynamic ones whose amount is continually changed at runtime even in the same execution environment. Unlike previous works, this framework divides roles of software developers into three groups to relieve application programmers from the complex and error prone parts of implementing dynamic adaptation and allowing each developer to only concentrate on his own part. Also, the framework enables policy decision makers to apply various adaptation policies to dynamically changing environments for adjusting mobile agents to the change of their resources.

Java 기반의 이동 에이전트 시스템은 에이전트의 실행 상태를 이주시킬 수 없는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 JVM을 수정하거나 이주에 필요한 소스 코드, 혹은 바이트 코드를 삽입하는 메커니즘을 이용한 이동 에이전트 시스템들이 연구되었다. 하지만 이러한 시스템들은 이식성이 떨어지거나 에이전트의 이주부분을 프로그래밍 할 수 없는 단점이 존재한다. 또한 이러한 시스템들은 플랫폼의 요청에 의한 에이전트 이주 기법인 forced migration을 지원하지 않는다. 본 논문에서는 AOP(Aspect Oriented Programming)를 이용한 에이전트의 투명한 이주 기법을 제안한다. 제안 기법에서는 에이전트를 비즈니스 로직, 이동성 코드, 상태 저장 코드로 나누어 개발하고, 이를 직조하여 이동 에이전트를 개발한다. 제안 기법을 사용하면 에이전트 개발자는 이동 에이전트의 비즈니스 로직 개발에 집중할 수 있고 에이전트의 이주 부분을 프로그래밍 함으로써, 유연한 에이전트의 이주 정책을 수립할 수 있다.

The DEVS formalism has the well-defined relationship between its model and simulator. However, it does not define the connection between its model and experimental frame needed when a simulator's implemented with it. So, in most DEVS based simulators, the modules of the two parts are tangled, so that changing and reusing them is not easy. This paper proposes a method to improve the changeability of the experimental frame and the reusability of the model by modularizing the two parts using the AOP technology. I applied the new method to a real project, and the result shows that it improves the two qualities effectively than before.

소프트웨어가 실행되는 인프라와 물리적인 환경이 바뀜에 따라 변경이 필요한 경우가 갈수록 많아지고 있다. 특히 사용자 인터페이스 방식이나 플랫폼이 바뀌는 모바일 소프트웨어의 경우 설계 과정에 쉽게 전환할 수 있는 융통성을 고려하지 않기 때문에 레거시 프로그램을 새로운 환경에 맞게 변환하거나 동적으로 적응시키기 위한 기술이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 분리된 관심사를 정의할 수 있는 AOP(Aspect-Oriented Programming) 기술을 이용하여 새로운 사용자 인터페이스 방식이나 새로운 플랫폼에 적응시키는 방안을 제안한다. 이 방법으로 적응이 어려운 레거시 시스템을 동적으로 적응시킬 수도 있으며 재사용할 수도 있다.
