Abstract

We develop a minimal core calculus called ContextFJ to model language mechanisms for context-oriented programming (COP). Unlike other formal models of COP, ContextFJ has a direct operational semantics that can serve as a precise description of the core of COP languages. We also discuss a simple type system that helps to prevent undefined methods from being accessed via proceed.
