What is Prism? ¡ ¡ ¡ Goal: A platform discovers aspects in very large systems composed in a variety of languages. Consists of both backend engine and user interface. Core: A framework supports arbitrary language patterns and different pattern matching algorithms. Language pattern: l l l Lexical pattern: Usage of types: Execution flow: regular expressions where is my type. A? where are my actions? e. TX Workshop OOPSLA 2003
Prism Architecture: A set of extension points ¡ ¡ Prism fingerprint: A pattern definition specified by the user. Prism footprint: A encapsulation of the location information of a particular fingerprint. Prism task: A customizable assembly of Prism fingerprints which represents a more complex pattern. Prism algorithm: An algorithm responsible for matching a particular pattern and generating the associated footprint.

Configuring a Prism Fingerprint ¡ ¡ A Prism fingerprint consists of any combinations of lexical patterns and type patterns. Examples of type pattern: l l l ¡ Referencing all types in a particular package. All types in package: org. omg. CORBA Referencing all methods of any class type: All call sites for all methods of class: org. omg. CORBA. Any Aspect. J joinpoint definitions. Examples of lexical pattern: l Regular expressions e.

Prism Footprint ¡ ¡ Results of matching fingerprints in the source code. Example: A fingerprint defined as “any method defined in the ‘class java. util. Hashtable’, of which the name starts by ‘get’ ” has the following footprints. e. TX Workshop OOPSLA 2003

Goals Achieved To Date ¡ ¡ Complete GUI integration with Eclipse. Provides the Eclipse aspect mining perspective. Enable search of calling patterns defined at package level, class level, and method level. Supports the Aspect. J call pattern convention. Supports navigation between mining results and source locations. Supports quantification of type usage scattering through computing degree of scattering as well as scattering ranking. e. TX Workshop OOPSLA 2003
Goals Achieved To Date ¡ ¡ ¡ Packaged as Eclipse plug-in Managed in CVS source tree Short user manual (targets aspect-aware developers) Short technical communication about Prism (unpublished) Poster and demos at e. TX/ICSE 2003, e. TX/OOPSLA 2003, CASCON 2003 Intention to submit as demo proposal to AOSD 2004 e. TX Workshop OOPSLA 2003
Future Work ¡ ¡ Mining of multiple languages (e. g. , C++). Support finding patterns based on language phrases. Enable mining aspects based on their control/data flow characteristics. Analysis of conditional variables. Find non -localized slices caused by conditionals as candidates of aspects. Aspect mining algorithms based on statistical learning and data mining techniques. e.
