Many software developers are attracted to the idea of aspect-oriented programming (AOP) but unsure about how to begin using the technology. They recognize the concept of crosscutting concerns, and know that they have had problems with the implementation of such concerns in the past. But there are many questions about how to adopt AOP into the development process.

Reliable computer systems used in the telecommunication industry, in cars and automated factories (process control) are often implemented as special purpose systems which are vendor-specific, expensive, hard to maintain and difficult to upgrade. Often, those systems apply proprietary techniques to achieve security and predictable timing behavior, even in case of faults. With the need of integrating multiple of those control systems into a bigger whole, requirements arise to open up proprietary systems for standard (non real-time) distributed computing technology.

Microsoft has developed a language called C# (—see sharp“) that it claims will allow programmers to —quickly and easily build solutions“ for its new.NET platform [3]. The language has much in common with Java, particularly in those features emphasized in CS1 and CS2 courses. It also includes some of the desirable features of C++ that are missing from Java as well as some new features not available in either language. This paper explores the pros and cons of teaching CS1 and CS2 using C# instead of Java and concludes with a discussion of the author‘s plans for teaching such a course in the fall of 2002.

Key issues on using a new programming language - C# - in implementation of a face detection and recognition (FDR) system are presented. Mainly the following aspects are detailed: how to acquire an image, broadcast a video stream, manipulate a database, and finally, the detection/recognition phase, all in relation with theirs possible C#/.NET solutions. Emphasis was placed on artificial neural network (ANN) methods for face detection/recognition along with C# object oriented implementation proposal.

A major problem with Object Oriented Programming (OOP) is that it cannot deal efficiently with crosscutting concerns. Aspect Oriented Software Development (AOSD) is a new methodology that tries to enable the extension of the separation of concerns capabilities in software development. AOSD, which encompasses Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP), hopes to enable the developer or architect to capture crosscutting concerns in a modular fashion.

The objectives of the dissertation include the design, implementation and evaluation of a tool that enables the modularisation of crosscutting concerns within C#, that we have called “AspectC#”. AspectC# must:

This paper summarizes the novel features of our AOP extensions to C# language [3]. It also reports the experience gained while restructuring and enhancing a shared source compiler. Here we describe a general global view of this project, named CAMEO. The initial aim of CAMEO is to implement AspectJ like language support enabling aspect-oriented modularization in C#. Other goals include support for structural aspects that harness Common Language Runtime (CLR) features [1], incremental or partial aspect weaving, and configurable advice weaving. A preliminary source-to-source translator implementation is available for internal use. We intend to evolve this framework for exploring new ideas in AOP and metaprogramming.

This tutorial shows J2EE developers how to use XDoclet to speed development. XDoclet simplifies continuous integration between components using attribute-oriented programming. It allows you to radically reduce development time by generating deployment descriptors and support code, allowing you to focus on application logic code. If you are a J2EE development veteran, then you realize keeping code in sync with deployment descriptors can be a drag. Often you may need to reuse components with other applications or in other environments like other application servers or with other database systems. You need to keep separate deployment descriptor for each application/environment combination, even if only one or two lines of the large deployment descriptor changes, you need to have a deployment descriptor for every possible configuration.
