The advanced composition mechanisms introduced for realizing this concept cause serious software evolution problems and prevent in particular tool-supported refactoring of aspect-oriented programs. This dissertation presents an approach to refactoring that uses change impact analysis techniques to verify the validity of behavioral compositions in aspect-oriented programs. It shows how the refactoring process can be extended to detect invalidated compositions and to adjust their specifications. In particular, the dissertation discusses and classifies general attributes of existing approaches for composing program behavior in AOP and illustrates in which way they cause evolution-related problems. It presents a model for representing the meta-level information used, which enables the detection of invalidated compositions. The presented prototype demonstrates how the proposed approach can be integrated in mainstream refactoring tools, showing different ways to assist developers in detecting and adjusting invalidated compositions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jan Wloka\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3836489996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783836489997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller E.K.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/17\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.43d","brand":"Jan Wloka","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48217644105983,"sku":"9783836489997","price":85.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_36ee98db-2725-49c9-a329-370e9cb00252.jpg?v=1771998515","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tool-supported-refactoring-of-aspect-oriented-programs-jan-wloka-9783836489997","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
