Yesterday I went to see the Hotel de glace and the Quebec City Winter Carnival, which was extraordinarily large this year, due to the 400-years celebrations.

Apparently, somebody’s in love at Google

I have put two project proposals for COMP 621 online. The last project I supervised was a real success, as it will get published at AOSD this year (see posting below). I hope you feel inspired by my proposals. If you wish to do something similar that does not quite fit the description or if you want to do something entirely different, that’s of course fine too.

You might remember my previous post (or that one) about relational aspects. As I mentioned there, relational aspects allow you to associate certain objects with an aspect and execute pieces of advice in this aspect in the context of these objects.

We have now published the final camera ready version of our AOSD 2008 submission. There we show in particular how relational aspects can be implemented using tracematches. Further, we show you what relational tracematches are, and we give examples of how use both, relational aspects and tracematches, such as caching or the observer pattern. You can grab the AOSD paper directly from here. Or, in case you are interested in all the nifty details, grab our updated and extended technical report version. Also, in case you have any comments on this work, please let me know!

I have posted information about Assignment 2 on my page for this course.
