HEY … You got your Paradigm in my Operating System!
by Yvonne Coady
…“People like to live in denial; thinking that programming shouldn't be *this * hard right? There must be an easier way, if only those pesky developers followed $fashionable_methodology_of_the_day...” Pantelis Antoniou 1 Linus Torvalds has gone on the record stating is dislike of C++ kernel code many…

Crosscutting the Great Divide: Exploring an Aspect-Oriented Approach to OS
by Yvonne Coady
…“There probably isn’t a ‘best ’ way to build the system, or even any major part of it; much more important is to avoid choosing a terrible way, and to have clear division of responsibilities among the parts. ” – Butler Lampson [33] Operating system code is complex. But, while substantial complexity…

Back to the future: A retroactive study of aspect evolution in operating system code
by Yvonne Coady — 2003
…The FreeBSD operating system more than doubled in size between version 2 and version 4. Many changes to primary modularity are easy to spot at a high-leveL For example, new device drivers account for 38 % of the growth. Not surprisingly, changes to crosscutting concerns are more difficult to track. …

OASIS: Organic Aspects for System Infrastructure Software - Easing evolution and adaptation through natural decomposition
by Celina Gibbs, Yvonne Coady — 2004 — Proceedings ECOOP 2004 Workshop on Reflection, AOP and Meta-Data for Software Evolution
…It is becoming increasingly clear that we are entering a new era in systems software. As the age-old tension between structure and performance acquiesces, we can finally venture beyond monolithic systems and explore alternative modularizations better suited to evolution and adaptation. The OASIS pro…

Disentangling Virtual Machine Architecture
by Michael Haupt, Celina Gibbs, Yvonne Coady
…Abstract. Virtual machine implementations are made up of intricately intertwined subsystems, coordinating largely through implicit dependencies. An analysis of several virtual machine implementations reveals the presence of crosscutting concerns—concerns that cannot be modularized through traditiona…

Exploring an Aspect-Oriented Approach to Operating System Code
by Yvonne Coady, Gregor Kiczales, Michael Feeley — 2000 — Separation of Concerns at the Conference on Object-Oriented Programming Systems, Languages, and Applications (OOPSLA). ACM
…This paper presents the initial results of our experiment using an aspect-oriented approach to simplify operating system code. The intuition behind this work is that complexity comes from crosscutting concerns. In this experiment, we re-implemented prefetching for page fault handling and file system…

Using AspectC to improve the modularity of path-specific customization in operating system code
by Yvonne Coady, Gregor Kiczales, Mike Feeley, Greg Smolyn — 2001
…Layered architecture in operating system code is often compromised by execution path-specific customizations such as prefetching, page replacement and scheduling strategies. Pathspecific customizations are difficult to modularize in a layered architecture because they involve dynamic context passing…

Using Embedded Network Processors to Implement Global Memory Management in a Workstation Cluster
by Yvonne Coady, Joon Suan Ong, Michael J. Feeley — 1999 — In Proceedings of The Eighth IEEE International Symposium on High Performance Distributed Computing
…Advances in network technology continue to improve the communication performance of workstation and PC clusters, making high-performance workstation-cluster computing increasingly viable. These hardware advances, however, are taxing traditional host-software network protocols to the breaking point. …
