Dynamic Program Adaptation Corpus

This repository contains a corpus of example programs of adaptation types using different programming language mechanisms. The implementations are all based on the following exemplars:

1. Smart home advertising
2. Network forwarding

Metaprogramming

Ad hoc reflection

The current implementation of Ad hoc reflection are:

• Python
• JavaScript

Metaobject protocol

There are two current implementations using MOP

• A SmallTalk implementation on exemplar [2]
• A CLOS implementation on exemplar [2]

Built-in mechanisms

Proxies

(Java)

Mixins

The implementation of Mixins uses Ruby

Context-oriented programming

The current implementations of COP to realize dynamica adaptations are:

• Context Traits (JavaScript) implementing exemplars [1,2]

Role-oriented programming
