Abstract
Run-time contract enforcement is a useful means to help ensure the reliability of a software system. Due to the scattering and tangling nature of crosscutting concerns, aspects can have a high degree of coupling with other modules. Contract enforcement should therefore prove especially useful for aspects. This paper presents such a run-time enforcement algorithm for a minimal aspect-oriented language, guided by the advice substitution principle: an aspect-oriented version of Liskov substitution. As contract enforcement in itself is a crosscutting concern, the algorithm is specified using aspects as well.
