Multi-Dimensional Context-Oriented Programming with a Lightweight Domain Specific Language

ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Software Language Engineering (SLE), pp. 51–63

Abstract

Context-awareness is crucial for developing cyber-physical systems to enable dynamic behavior. Context-oriented programming (COP) aims to improve the definition of context-dependent behavioral variations. However, existing layer-based COP approaches have two major limitations: layered methods are specified only for single contextual dimensions and restrict adaptations to method replacement or input/output filtering, limiting expressiveness for complex context dependencies.
