5 010/02 Aspect-Oriented Interceptors Pattern 1/4/2016 ACP4IS 2003John Zinky BBN Technologies When A Station is Created, Aspects Are Allowed to Insert a Delegate into the Call Tree The Client is given a pointer to the Delegate, not original Station The Delegate is usually an inner class of the Aspect Client Station Substrate Station Factory Create Station() Service Station Initialize Station() Enhanced Service Service Delegate Add Delegate() Aspect Initialize Delegate()

6 010/02 Aspect-Oriented Interceptors Pattern 1/4/2016 ACP4IS 2003John Zinky BBN Technologies Multiple Aspects can be Inserted Each Handling Some Facet QoS Adaptation Interactions between Aspects is –Direct via services –Indirect via delegate behavior Order may be important Station Aspect Object QoS State QoS Services Work-flow between stations Station Aspect Object QoS State QoS Services Aspect Delegates

7 010/02 Aspect-Oriented Interceptors Pattern 1/4/2016 ACP4IS 2003John Zinky BBN Technologies Quality Objects (QuO) Can Be Used to Structure the Implementation of Aspects Delegates can be used to or observe or add behavior QuO uses Quality Description Languages to code generate Delegates and Contracts QuO Delegate QuO Delegate Station Sys Cond QuO Contract QuO Contract external Sys Cond Sys Cond external Station See Aspect

8 010/02 Aspect-Oriented Interceptors Pattern 1/4/2016 ACP4IS 2003John Zinky BBN Technologies Example 1: Statistics can easily be collected between any of the Stations The Aspect Contains all statistics Processing and storage Statistics can be Correlated from multiple Stations –Delay measurements, Outstanding Messages, HeardFrom Client Station Aspect Service Station Observed Service Statistics Collection Statistic Storage Statistic Processing Statistic Export External Service

9 010/02 Aspect-Oriented Interceptors Pattern 1/4/2016 ACP4IS 2003John Zinky BBN Technologies Example 2: Multicast Aspect Implements Both the Sender and Receiver Sides of the Protocol The sender side transforms the clients multicast request into many copies addressed to all the nodes (in the group). The receiver side copy the message again and delivers it to all the local clients (in the group) While the code is in one place, the instances are distributed RouterDeliverer Send Link Message Copy Message Copy Receive Link Receive Link Receive Link Remote Node Lookup Local Agent Lookup SenderReceiver

Attributes are added to the message, so the remote compression aspect can dynamically add a Delegate to decompress.
