Abstract

The concept of composing a (domain-specific) language
from different reusable modules has gained much interest
over the years. The addition of aspect-oriented features to a
language is a suitable candidate of such a module. However,
rather than directly attempting to design an aspect-oriented
language module that is applicable to any base language, this
paper focuses on adding aspect-oriented features to a lan-
guage that is quite different from prevalent base languages
(e.g. Java): Petri nets. A running example demonstrates the
use of aspects to enforce an invariant on a base Petri net.
