Language technology and middleware
The Language technology and Middleware (LantaM) taskforce investigates the following research areas:
- Object-oriented programming languages: anchored exceptions, higher-kinded types, reusable abstractions
- Aspect-oriented software development: aspect-oriented design patterns and frameworks, aspect-oriented architecture and design, dependencies and conflicts between aspects.
- Middleware: aspect-oriented middleware, policy-driven middleware, middleware for dynamic reconfiguration
- Service-oriented architecture: Enterprise Service Bus, Web services, WS-BPEL, ontology-driven service composition
