Refinements to task control in the Aspect-Oriented Programming model for computing grids

Recent studies in programming tools for grid computing have proposed the use of Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) as a way to separate the business logic concerns from the grid processing distribution concerns. We found that limitations in the design of current AOP languages restricted the capacity of the programming tools to manipulate the programmer's source code. Therefore, this paper proposes an extension of this concept in which both AOP and Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) source codes are generated at compiling time to increase the lexicon available for programmers to express advanced computation distribution. We also tested our proposal using a distributed Apriori algorithm.
