Abstract

While many software systems today have to be aware of the context in which they are executing, there is still little support for structuring a program with respect to context. A first step towards better context-orientation was the introduction of method layers. This paper proposes two additional language concepts, namely the implicit activation of method layers, and the introduction of dynamic variables.
