While Aspect-Oriented Programming offers promising mechanisms for enhancing the modularity of software, this increased modularity raises new challenges for systematic reasoning. This project studies means to address fundamental and practical issues in understanding distributed aspect-oriented programs by focusing on the issue of security. To this end, the project tackles three complementary lines of work: 1. Designing a core calculus to model distributed aspect-oriented programming languages and reason about programs written in these languages. 2. Studying how aspects can be used to enforce security properties in a distributed system, based upon guarantees provided by the underlying aspect infrastructure. 3. Designing and developing languages, analyses and runtime systems for distributed aspects based on the proposed calculus, therefore enabling systematic reasoning about security. These lines of work are interconnected and confluent. A concrete outcome of RAPIDS will be prototypes for two concrete distributed aspect-oriented extensions of languages increasingly used by current practitioners: Javascript and Java/Scala.

Apart from the Inria associate team rapids with the Pleiad group (Prof. Éric Tanter) at U. Chile, the Ascola team has formalized cooperations, notably in the context of co-financed and co-supervised PhD theses with the PROG group (Prof. Wofgang de Meuter) at VU Brussel, Belgium, and the Software Technology group (Prof. Mira Mezini) at TU Darmstadt, Germany.
Furthermore, the Ascola team has long-term cooperations that resulted in common results in 2014, typically joint publications or common software artifacts, with partners from the AIST research institute (Dr. Takahiro Hirofuchi) and U. of Bogota, Colombia (Prof. Rubby Casallas).
