Abstract

In recent years the need for software applications to adapt to the environment in which they are situated has become common. Beside architectural approaches, language-level support for the development of adaptable and context-aware software have been investigated. Many existing solutions adopt ad hoc programming paradigms such as aspect oriented programming (AOP) or context oriented programming (COP). In this paper we investigate the use of the abstractions offered by traditional object-oriented and functional paradigms for the development of context-adaptable systems. We carry out our analysis along a set of conceptual directions which consider the requirement of functional adaptation beside non functional requirements such as safety and effective modularization. Our analysis were validated though the development of several prototypes of an adaptable cache server which is chosen as the running example through the paper. We provide an estimation of the performance advantages of the techniques based traditional programming languages compared with context-oriented programming.

程序设计语言自适应能力的评价

近年来，软件应用程序适应其所处环境的需求已经变得普遍。除了架构方法之外，还研究了对可适应和上下文感知软件开发的语言级支持。许多现有的解决方案采用特别的编程范例，例如面向方面编程(AOP)或面向上下文编程(COP)。在本文中，我们研究了使用传统的面向对象和功能范例提供的抽象来开发上下文适应性系统。我们沿着一组概念方向进行分析，这些方向考虑了功能适应的需求以及非功能需求，如安全性和有效的模块化。本文以一种自适应缓存服务器为例，通过样机的开发验证了本文的分析结果。我们估计了基于传统编程语言的技术与面向上下文的编程相比的性能优势。
