The Most Influential Paper Award is a yearly presentation to authors of a particular paper at aspect-Oriented software development conference held 10 years back. The prize money of $1000 is split among the contributing authors of the paper. The basis for the selection is the amount of influence the paper has had in the past decade after its presentation at the year’s AOSD conference.
Influential Paper Award Of AOSD 2012
“Dynamic Weaving for Aspect-Oriented Programming”, a paper presented at the AOSD 2002 by Thomas Gross, Andrei Popovici and Gustavo Alonso won the 2012 edition of AOSD conference.
The paper was outstanding for presenting the first aspect-oriented program that shows how feasible it is to see aspects as first-class units that can either be developed or undeveloped in a dynamic fashion in JVM-based languages. The approach is the execution environment that supports aspect weaving directly contrary to what holds with bytecode or source code.
The authors show how this could be arrived at in standard language execution environment.
For the feat and revelation, the work has continued to generate further research on dynamic aspect weaving up till now.
