Seaside: Building Complex Web Applications Simply
======================================
20 April 2004 at 17h30
Institut fuer Wirtschaftsinformatik (IWI), Universitaet Bern,
Engehaldenstrasse 8, 3012 Bern, Hoersaal 001

Abstract
======
Seaside is a framework for developing sophisticated web applications
in Smalltalk.
In this talk I will present some of its unique features, such as its
approach to session
management: unlike servlet models that require a separate handler for
each page or
request, Seaside models an entire user session as a continuous piece of
code, with natural,
linear control flow. Furthermore I will create a small web-application
as a demo together with
the audience and present a complex production web-site that has been
built using Seaside.

applications and content
management systems. He is expert in Zope and web solutions, the
designer of SmallWiki, a
content management application entirely based on objects.

Abstract
========
Software projects are notoriously difficult to schedule and
estimate. This is true for new development as well as for the
integration and adaptation of standard software or components. While
reasonably precise estimates may be based on models of the business
requirements (using UML or equivalent modelling languages), the process
of establishing such models is itself a difficult undertaking and .
painfully costly. A possibly useful alternative is offerd with Pre-UML
based estimation of the System Meter Method. Although still not able to
come up with good estimates from the project's name alone, its modelling
requirements are modest. The precision of those estimates ranges from
+/-20% to +/-35% at a 2-Sigma confidence level.

Simon Moser is an expert in cost estimation and is the originator of the
System Meter. He defended his PhD thesis on Measurement and Estimation of
Software and Software Processes in 1996 at the University of Bern. He is
currently Chair of the SEE Group, which specializes in Software Engineering
and Estimation.

Integrationsbroker konkret
==========================
Tuesday, March 16, 2004 @ 17h00
Institut für Wirtschaftsinformatik (IWI), Universität Bern,

17h00 - 18h00 Talk and Q/A
Afterwards you are invited to a refreshment.
Abstract
========
Integrationsbroker und EAI-Werkzeuge versprechen Unterstützung in allen
technischen Belangen der Integration heterogener Systeme. Der Umfang
dieser Werkzeuge, die Dominanz des Marketings und fehlende
Vergleichsmöglichkeiten erschweren jedoch die Beurteilung der Eignung
für ein gegebenes Problem. Dies ist einer der Gründe, weshalb in den
Unternehmen immer noch viele Integrationsaufgaben mit ad-hoc Mitteln
gelöst werden und weshalb der Einsatz (resp. Nicht-Einsatz) eines
Integrationsbrokers manchmal zur Glaubensfrage wird. Wir präsentieren
ein einfaches Referenzmodell zur Beurteilung von Integrationsbrokern und
erklären typische Integrationsszenarien. Im Sinne eines einfachen
Benchmarking werden wir zeigen, wie verschiedene Integrationsbroker in
diesen Szenarien zum Einsatz kommen, was die Werkzeuge effektiv können
und mit welchen Herausforderungen zu rechnen ist.
Der Vortrag wird in deutscher Sprache gehalten!
