 Extension and adaptation of an aspect oriented programming language for real-time systemsWafa Gabsi, Bechir Zalila and Mohamed Jmaiel International Journal of Business and Systems Research, 2020, vol. 14, issue 2, 139-161 Abstract: Aspect oriented programming (AOP) supports the separation of concerns cutting across the implementation of a software application to avoid scattering and tangling. We focus on the integration of this paradigm in the development of real-time systems. AOP is based on the weaving process to automatically integrate separately created segments of code, into the application. In the context of real-time systems, this can compromise determinism by including constructs that may violate real-time constraints. In this paper, we both study and test the AspectAda language, an existing aspect extension for Ada, in order to adapt its implementation to respect real-time constraints. We study this language's grammar, runtime and especially weaving operations. Then, we extract its limits and provide solutions to adapt it to support real-time constraints. Finally, we propose a new architecture of the compiler/weaver to overcome the problems of the existing one and we detail its different parts. Keywords: aspect oriented programming; AOP; AspectAda; Ada; architecture; real-time constraints; compiler; systems; technology.
