ABSTRACT
Like programs written in general-purpose languages, programs written in DSLs may also suffer from tangling and scattering in the presence of domain-specific crosscutting concerns. This paper presents an architecture that supports aspect-oriented features for domain-specific base languages. Both base programs and advices are written in different domain-specific languages. The framework relies on the concept of domain-specific join point.

An architecture for composing embedded domain-specific languages
AOSD '10: Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Aspect-Oriented Software DevelopmentEmbedded domain-specific languages (EDSLs) are said to be easier to compose than DSLs that are implemented by preprocessors. However, existing approaches focus on composition scenarios where the use of abstractions from one domain does not affect the ...
First-class domain specific aspect languages
MODULARITY Companion 2015: Companion Proceedings of the 14th International Conference on ModularityProgramming in a domain specific aspect language (DSAL) typically involves some language workbench for transforming the DSAL code and some AOP composition framework for weaving the transformed code. However, DSAL development remains second-class in two ...
A Taxonomy of Domain-Specific Aspect Languages
Domain-Specific Aspect Languages (DSALs) are Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) designed to express crosscutting concerns. Compared to DSLs, their aspectual nature greatly amplifies the language design space. We structure this space in order to shed light ...
