Background and Goals
The "Recent Trends in Aspect based Information Systems" (RTABIS’10) is a new Workshop joint to ICSOFT 2010. Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) complements Object Oriented (OO) programming by allowing the developer to dynamically modify the static OO model to create a system that can grow to meet new requirements. Just as objects in the real world can change their states during their lifecycles, an application can adopt new characteristics as it develops. AOP complements object-oriented programming by facilitating another type of modularity that pulls together the widespread implementation of a crosscutting concern into a single unit. These units are termed aspects, hence the name aspect-oriented programming. By compartmentalizing aspect code, crosscutting concerns become easy to deal with. Aspects of a system can be changed, inserted or removed at compile time, and even reused. So, Aspect Oriented Software Development gathers a set of techniques for modular definition and the implementation of transverse functions for enterprises applications. Typical crosscutting concerns include logging, context-sensitive error handling, performance optimization, and design patterns.

AOP is becoming an industrial reality with projects and commercial offers. Moreover, related topics are numerous.

This first workshop on Recent Trends in Aspect based Information Systems provides a forum for researchers and practitioners to present results, applications, and experiences in software based on Aspects. The organizing committee welcomes high quality contributions that describe original and unpublished works in the field of aspect-based application engineering in terms of design, development, testing, and deployment.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
