Afterwards you are invited to a refreshment. Abstract -------- Abstract: Challenges Facing Wireless Java Application Developers The market for J2ME-enabled wireless devices is growing rapidly and represents an interesting opportunity for J2ME application developers. However, there are a number of challenges to developing applications for this segment. In this presentation, we will explore some of the issues stemming from the following three areas: 1. The impact of competing J2ME application environments (MIDP 2.0, DoJa 1.5, and VSCL 1.1) 2. How JVM implementation influences application development 3. Coping with JSRs--a survey of the most significant J2ME JSRs The presentation will be held in English and will conclude with a demo. Bio --- Mark Stolz is the Technology Architect at esmertec ag. He joined esmertec in 1999 as a Senior Software Engineer with the Jbed Core Development Team. There his work focused on BSP and device-driver development, and on enhancing Jbed's real-time scheduler. Mark has over 10 years of experience developing software for embedded real-time systems and holds a B.Sc. and a M.Sc. in Computer Science from California State University, Chico. ------------------------REGISTRATION--------------------------- Please DO NOT reply to this e-mail!

Invitation to Ph.D. defense

choose-news(a)iam.unibe.ch is a *moderated* mailing list for announcing non-commercial events related to Object Technology in Switzerland. Please send announcements to be posted to: choose-news(a)iam.unibe.ch To unsubscribe, please send the message "unsubscribe choose-news" to: Majordomo(a)iam.unibe.ch To learn more about SI and CHOOSE, see: http://www.iam.unibe.ch/CHOOSE/ Dear all, This Friday, May 30th, I will present my dissertation entitled "Object-Oriented Reverse Engineering - Coarse-grained, Fine-grained, and Evolutionary Software Visualization". The abstract is included at the bottom of this e-Mail. The defense is public and will take place in the room 001 of the IWI building (located in the "Engehalde-Areal") at 16.15 and should last one hour. You are cordially invited to attend the defense and the apéro which will take place right afterwards in or in front of the IAM cafeteria. Kind Regards, Michele Lanza Software Composition Group University of Berne --- Abstract The maintenance, reengineering, and evolution of object-oriented software systems has become a vital matter in today's software industry. Although most systems start off in a clean and well-designed state, with time they tend to gradually decay in quality, unless the systems are reengineered and adapted to the evolving requirements. However, before such legacy software systems can be reengineered and evolved, they must be reverse engineered, i.e., their structure and inner working must be understood. This is difficult because of several factors, such as the sheer size of the systems, their complexity, their domain specificity, and in general the bad state legacy software systems are in. In this thesis we propose a visual approach to the reverse engineering of object-oriented software systems by means of polymetric views, lightweight visualizations of software enriched with metrics and other types of semantic information about the software, e.g., its age, version, abstractness, location, structure, function, etc. We present and discuss several polymetric views which allow us to understand three different aspects of object-oriented software, namely (1) coarse-grained aspects which allow for the understanding of very large systems, (2) fine-grained aspects which allow for the understanding of classes and class hierarchies, and (3) evolutionary aspects, which enable us to recover and understand the evolution of a software system. The combination of these three types of information can greatly reduce the time needed to gain an understanding of an object-oriented software system. Based on the application of our polymetric views, we present our reverse engineering methodology which we validated and refined on several occasions in industrial settings. It allows us to explore and combine these three approaches into one single visual approach to understand software.
