Recognizing join points from their context through graph grammars

Aspect-oriented software development has been proposed with the intent of better modularizing object-oriented programs by confining crosscutting concerns in aspects. Unfortunately, the aspects do not completely keep their promises. Most of the current approaches revealed to be tightly coupled with the base-program's code compromising the modularity. Moreover, the feasible modularization has a coarse-grain since the aspects can only be woven at the public interface level but not on a generic statement. We have designed the Blueprint framework to overcome these limits. The join points are located through the description of the context where they could be found. This work is about the framework realization and the role that graph grammars play in locating the join points in the base-program from the context description
