[aosd-discuss] AOP, Design Patterns and Metadata - master thesis

[Miguel Pessoa Monteiro]

Hi Andrei,

Perhaps you could be more specific about your problem. You said that you're using
AOP and Metadata, but did not mention an actual tool/language. Do you mean AspectJ 5
and Java 5 annotations, or is it something else?

Exactly what is not clear about where you should go? Perhaps it is just a matter of
starting with one pattern, implement it, and gradually do the same with the whole
collection. Try selecting one of the most promising patterns, in terms of possible
conclusions/insights, or as a showcase for the technique that you are using.

Regarding related work, you may be interested on the following papers:
