WeCa: A JavaScript library for the flexible control over causality on the Web

A practical library that allows for modular and flexible control over causality issues in the Web. In contrast to current proposals, WeCa uses stateful aspects, message ordering strategies, and vector clocks. WeCa has been used with several practical examples from the realm of  Web applications. For instance, we analyze the flow of information in these applications like Twitter using WeCa (2013).

ESAJS: expressive stateful aspects for JavaScript

An implementation of ESA, the description of an expressive stateful aspect language. A stateful aspect language supports the definition of monitors to observe and react to a program execution trace.  They have numerous applications in domains like error detection, security, and modular definition of crosscutting concerns (2015).
