Context Sensitive Dynamic Slicing of Concurrent Aspect-Oriented Programs

Abstract

This paper presents a context-sensitive dynamic slicing technique for concurrent AOPs having multiple threads. To effectively represent the concurrent AOP, we propose an intermediate graph called Multithreaded Aspect-Oriented Dependence Graph (MAODG). Based on this intermediate representation, we design a precise and accurate dynamic slicing algorithm for concurrent AOPs. This algorithm takes the MAODG of the concurrent AOP and a slicing criterion as input and computes the dynamic slice for the given concurrent AOP.
