ABSTRACT
As bases for object-orientation, both class-based and prototype-based organization have limitations. We argue that roles have significant benefits as a foundation for organizing objects. We further argue that these benefits can be realised most flexibly using logic meta-programming. Additional benefits from this approach are to reduce redundancy and subsume aspects.

Recommendations
Using roles to model crosscutting concerns
AOSD '13: Proceedings of the 12th annual international conference on Aspect-oriented software developmentIn object oriented languages the problem of crosscutting concerns, due to limitations in the composition mechanisms, is recurrent. In order to reduce this problem we propose to use roles as a way of composing classes that extends the Object Oriented ...
The power of symmetry: unifying inheritance and generative programming
OOPSLA '03: Companion of the 18th annual ACM SIGPLAN conference on Object-oriented programming, systems, languages, and applicationsI present the Ohmu language, a unified object model which allows a number of "advanced" techniques such as aspects, mixin layers, parametric polymorphism, and generative components to be implemented cleanly using two basic concepts: block structure and ...
A model for web services composition based on QoS and providers' benefit
WiCOM'09: Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Wireless communications, networking and mobile computingTo deal with the problems such as Web Services selection algorithm, availability of Web Services composition and QoS(Quality of Service) guarantee, presents a model for Web Services composition based on QoS and providers' benefit. In this model, the ...
