3. Introduction Emerging Modularization mechanisms
Mix-ins, open classes, aspects, etc
Supported at source level, shown potential
Support in VMs and ILs have SE benefits

4. Expected Results Generate interest in this topic
Frame and refine research problems

5. Potential Topics Virtual machine designs Intermediate language designs
Better compilation techniques
Optimization strategies
Improved join point matching techniques
Use cases for deeper support in the VM and IL
