The first submission deadline for AOSD 2011 is approaching rapidly. You have until July 1st to get your paper ready. It turns out that AOSD 2011 is going to be in beautiful Pernambuco, Brazil. It’s certainly going to be a great event. I hope to see you all there.
This year’s topic is Perspectives on Modularity, which means that AOSD explicitly invites papers that try to address modularity issues in general, the approach does not have to be restricted to what people frequently call “aspect-oriented programming”. The goal is to broaden the scope and to look for solutions beyond the usual paradigmn of pointcuts and advice.
In the past many people have asked how they can configure Soot so that it would analyze a given set of classes, but without analyzing all the internals of the JDK. Of course, such an analysis is generally unsound, but often people don’t really care – they just want to have fast results. I have often found myself in the same situation when testing whole-program analyses that I wrote myself. Every analysis run would normally take minutes to run, which can cause your day to pass by quickly when you are debugging a complicated analysis.
