Abstract

Applications for small embedded mobile devices are becoming larger and more complex resulting in the need for advanced modularization mechanisms. Aspect-oriented modularization is a promising approach to solve this problem, but the overhead of the existing programming languages restricts their practicability for small devices with limited resources. In this paper, we identify opportunities to optimize the aspectual execution mechanism at different levels within the virtual machine. First experiments show that these optimizations improve the execution time considerably, thus proving that with adequate optimizations, we enable the use of advanced aspect-oriented modularization techniques for small device Java applications.
