Abstract

Language oriented modularity (LOM) implies the use of multiple domain specific aspect languages (DSALs) simultaneously. The complexity of implementing these DSALs has significant implications on the practicality of LOM. In this paper we describe a transformation-based approach to DSAL implementation that reduces the overall cost of implementing the weaving semantics and thus improves the practicality of LOM.
