Untangling crosscutting concerns in domain-specific languages with domain-specific join points

Like programs written in general-purpose languages, programs written in DSLs may also suffer from tangling and scattering in the presence of domain-specific crosscutting concerns. This paper presents an architecture that supports aspect-oriented features for domain-specific base languages. Both base programs and advices are written in different domain-specific languages. The framework relies on the concept of domain-specific join point.
