Abstract Context: Software Product Line (SPL) development requires at least concepts for
variability implementation and variability modeling for deriving products from a product line …

CONTEXT: Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) promises to improve many facets of
software quality by providing better modularization and separation of concerns, which may …

Software product lines (SPLs) enable modular, large-scale reuse through a software
architecture addressing multiple core and varying features. To reap the benefits of SPLs …

Design patterns offer flexible solutions to common problems in software development.
Recent studies have shown that several design patterns involve crosscutting concerns …

Although Web services are becoming business-critical components, they are often deployed
with critical software bugs that can be maliciously explored. Web vulnerability scanners …

Although one of the main promises of aspect-oriented (AO) programming techniques is to
promote better software changeability than object-oriented (OO) techniques, there is no …

Abstract The aim of Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) is the production of code that is
easier to understand and evolve, thanks to the separation of the crosscutting concerns from …

Software projects embrace variability to increase adaptability and to lower cost; however,
others blame variability for increasing complexity and making reasoning about programs …

One of the main promises of aspect-oriented programming (AOP) is to promote improved
modularization of crosscutting concerns, thereby enhancing the software stability in the …

Pattern composition has been shown as a challenge to applying design patterns in real
software systems. One of the main problems is that multiple design patterns in a system are …
