The 6th AOSD Workshop on Aspects, Components, and Patterns for Infrastructure Software (ACP4IS)

A one-day workshop at AOSD.07, the Fifth International Conference on Aspect-Oriented Software Development, March 12, Vancouver, Canada, 2007

Organizing Committee

Olaf Spinczyk is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Magdeburg, Germany, in 2002 for his research on 'Operating System Construction by Aspect-Orientation.' An important part of this work was the design of the AspectC++ language, which he started in 2001. AspectC++ is an aspect-oriented language extension for C++. Olaf demonstrated his AspectC++ compiler and its suitability for embedded systems software construction at numerous AOSD and OOPSLA conferences. He gave tutorials on AOP with C++ at AOSD 2004-2006. At AOSD 2005 he was invited to give a talk on AOP with C++ in the industry track. Besides the last two ACP4IS workshops, he organized the ECOOP 2002 workshop on Object-Orientation and Operating Systems, the ECOOP 2004 and ASPLOS 2006 workshops on Programming Languages and Operating Systems, the MMB 2006 workshop on Non-Functional Properties of Embedded Systems, and he will be a co-organizer of the BTW workshop on Tailored Data Management. His current research is focused on the combination of Generic and Generative Programming with AOP in AspectC++, and on applying these techniques in the implementation of the research operating system family CiAO.

Mario Südholt is an Associate Professor at École des Mines de Nantes in France following doctoral studies in computer science at Technical University of Berlin and a year of postdoc research at Irisa/Inria in Rennes. From 2004 to 2006 he has been an INRIA researcher. His current research focus is on the formal definition and implementation of expressive approaches for aspect-oriented programming, in particular for distributed and concurrent systems. He also works on composition techniques based on notions of component interfaces with explicit protocols. He has co-chaired several international events and served on the program committees of different major conferences relevant to AOSD. He is a member of AOSD-Europe, the European Network of Excellence in AOSD and coordinates the activities of the INRIA groups involved in the network.

Celina Gibbs is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Victoria. Her research has included the integration of aspects into memory management subsystems within Java Virtual Machines (JVMs). She has evaluated the application of aspects in this domain from both an evolutionary perspective and in terms of modern structural demands, specifically considering aspect-oriented support for real-time applications. Her current research largely focuses on problems associated with extensibility in low-level systems infrastructures. In particular, she has been involved with both tool development and domain-specific language support for JVMs.
