Dr.-Ing. Christoph Bockisch

Research Interests

  • Implementation of programming languages (design and implementation of virtual machines and compilers)
  • Aspect-oriented programming
  • Advanced dynamic dispatch
  • Software Engineering in plug-in architectures

ALIA4J Project

I started the ALIA4J project, in which we develop an implementation architecture for lan-guages with advanced dynamic dispatch facilities, as the subject of my dissertation. Together with Andreas Sewe, I am coordinating and supervising this project. The Steamloom project–on which I have been co-working since my Diploma thesis–has been merged with ALIA4J under the name of SteamloomALIA. SteamloomALIA is a Java Virtual Machine with dedicated optimizations for dynamic dispatch and for modifying dispatch at runtime.

AOSD-Europe Project

I am involved with the European Network of Excellence on Aspect-Oriented Software Development. During the EC-funded phase of the project, I have coordinated the Execution Models task of the Languages Lab, an activity which spawned the ALIA4J project, and the Atelier work package.
