About this page
This page gives a brief overview of different researchers working on aspect identification and refactoring or both,
with a brief description of their current research interests and a link to their personal research pages. If you know of other
researchers working on these topics, please don't hesitate to

Researchers working on Aspect Identification and Aspect Mining
and
KRINKE Jens use dynamic and static analysis to detect recurring
calling patterns and extract crosscutting concerns from them.
and
TOURWE Tom are involved in the
Ideals project, where they study how crosscutting concerns can be reverse engineered from large-scale industrial applications and how AOSD techniques can improve the quality of such applications.
and
TONELLA Paolo combine the techniques of
dynamic analysis and
formal concept analysis to mine non aspect-oriented
source code for potential aspects.
is conducting research on, amongst others, feature extraction, dynamic analysis, aspect-oriented software development and aspect mining.
and
KELLENS Andy explored the technique of
inductive logic programming to automatically uncover the pointcuts in a non aspect-oriented software.
conducts research on concern mining and visualization
for which he built his
Aspect Mining Tool, which offers lexical and type-based analysis techniques.
and
ZHANG Charles work on aspect minining for which purpose they developed their
Prism tool.
(see
GYBELS Kris above)
(see
BREU Silvia above)
studied, in collaboration with
MOONEN Leon and
VAN DEURSEN Arie, the technique of
fan-in analysis to semi-automatically identify aspects in Java source code
that is not written in an aspect-oriented way.
(see
MARIN Marius above)
has developed a framework (Timna) for combining aspect mining analyses. He has also used code clone detection to identify potential aspects.
(see
CECCATO Mariano above)
(see
MENS Kim above)
(also see
BRUNTINK Magiel above)
(see
MARIN Marius above)
uses datamining algorithms to uncover important classes in
a system’s architecture, that are prime candidates for the introduction of aspects.
Researchers working on Aspect Refactoring
and
TONELLA Paolo are also working on the refactoring of aspectizable interfaces
(interfaces that crosscut the principal decomposition).
and
ZHANG Charles work on aspect refactoring, and aspect refactoring verification for which purpose they developed their ARV tool.
works on aspect-oriented programming and manual refactoring of aspect-oriented programs.
He proposes to pinpoint and document manual code transformations to "aspectize" object-oriented code,
and to tidy up existing aspect-oriented code.
