Purpose of the Book This book presents an approach to improve the standard object-oriented pro­ gramming model. The proposal is aimed at supporting a larger range of incre­ mental behavior variations and thus promises to be more effective in mastering the complexity of today's software. The ability of dealing with the evolutionary nature of software is one of main merits of object-oriented data abstraction and inheritance. Object-orientation allows to organize software in a structured way by separating the description of different kinds of an abstract data type into different classes and loosely connecting them by the inheritance hierarchy. Due to this separation, the soft­ ware becomes free of conditional logics previously needed for distinguishing between different kinds of abstractions and can thus more easily be incremen­ tally extended to support new kinds of abstractions. In other words, classes and inheritance are means to properly model variations of behavior related to the existence of different kinds of an abstract data type. The support for extensi­ bility and reuse with respect to such kind-specific behavior variations is among the main reasons for the increasing popularity of object-oriented programming in the last two decades. However, this popularity does not prevent us from questioning the real effec­ tiveness of current object-oriented techniques in supporting incremental vari­ ations. In fact, this popularity makes a critical investigation of the variations that can actually be performed incrementally even more important.

This book constitutes the revised selected papers of the 10th International Conference on Networked Systems, NETYS 2022, held as virtual event, in May 17–19, 2022. The conference was held virtually due to the COVID-19 crisis.The 18 full papers and 2 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 100 submissions. The scope of the conference covers all aspects related to the design and the development of these systems, including multi-core architectures, Concurrent and distributed algorithms, parallel/concurrent/distributed programming, distributed databases, big data applications and systems, cloud systems, networks, security, and formal verification.They were organized in topical sections as follows: Distributed System; Networking; Verification; Security.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the international conference NetObjectDays 2002, held in Erfurt, Germany, in October 2002.The 26 revised full papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and revision. The papers are organized in topical sections on embedded and distributed systems; components and MDA; Java technology; Web services; aspect-oriented software design; agents and mobility; software product lines; synchronization; testing, refactoring, and CASE tools.

This volume, the 8th in the Transactions on Aspect-Oriented Software Development series, contains two regular submissions and a special section, consisting of five papers, on the industrial applications of aspect technology. The regular papers describe a framework for constructing aspect weavers, and patterns for reusable aspects. The special section begins with an invited contribution on how AspectJ is making its way from an exciting new hype topic to a valuable technology in enterprise computing. The remaining four papers each cover different industrial applications of aspect technology, which include a telecommunication platform, a framework for embedding user assistance in independently developed applications, a platform for digital publishing, and a framework for program code analysis and manipulation.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 25th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming, ECOOP 2011, held in Lancaster, UK, in July 2011. The 26 revised full papers, presented together with three keynote lectures were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 100 submissions. The papers cover topics such as empirical studies, mining, understanding, recommending, modularity, modelling and refactoring, aliasing and ownership; as well as memory optimizations.
