16 Dec '09

========================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS (Deadline: January 22, 2010) TOOLS EUROPE 2010 48th International Conference Objects, Models, Components, Patterns Co-located with *** International Conference on Model Transformation (ICMT 2010) *** *** International Conference on Software Composition (SC 2010) *** *** International Conference on Tests and Proofs (TAP 2010) *** Málaga - Spain, 28 June - 02 July 2010 http://malaga2010.lcc.uma.es/ ========================================================================== TOOLS EUROPE is devoted to the combination of technologies that have emerged as a result of object technology becoming "mainstream". Like its predecessors, TOOLS EUROPE combines an emphasis on quality with a strong practical focus. Started in 1989, TOOLS conferences, held in Europe, the USA, Australia, China and Eastern Europe, have played a major role in the development of object technology; many of seminal concepts were first presented at TOOLS. After an interruption of four years, the conference was revived in 2007 to reflect the maturing of the field and the new challenges ahead and has become a yearly event. Contributions are solicited on all aspects of object technology and related fields, in particular model-based development, component-based development, and patterns (design, analysis and other applications); more generally, any contribution addressing topics in advanced software technology fall within the scope of TOOLS. Reflecting the practical emphasis of TOOLS, contributions showcasing applications along with a sound conceptual contribution are particularly welcome. Topics include: * Object technology, including programming techniques, languages, tools * Testing of object-oriented systems * Patterns, pattern languages, tool support for patterns * Distributed and concurrent object systems * Real-time object-oriented programming and design * Experience reports, including efforts at standardisation * Applications to safety- and security-related software * Component-based programming, modelling, tools * Aspects and aspect-oriented programming and modelling * Frameworks for component-based development * Trusted and reliable components * Model-driven development and Model-Driven Architecture * Domain specific languages and language design * Tools and frameworks for supporting model-driven development * Language implementation techniques, compilers, run-time systems * Practical applications of program verification and analysis * Open source solutions & Reproduction studies All contributions will be subject to a rigorous selection process by the international Program Committee, with a stress on originality, practicality and overall quality. The proceedings will be published in Springer LNBIP. For detailed submission information see the conference page. Important Dates: Papers submission deadline: January 22, 2010 Acceptance notification: March 24, 2010 Camera-ready final copy: April 5, 2010 Conference: June 28 -- July 02, 2010 Conference Chair: Bertrand Meyer, ETH Zürich and Eiffel Software Program Chair: Jan Vitek, Purdue University Publicity Chair: Osmar Santos, University of York Program Committee: Uwe Assman, University of Dresden, Germany Elisa Baniassad, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Alexandre Bergel, University of Chile, Chile Lorenzo Bettini, University of Torino, Italy Judith Bishop, University of Pretoria, South Africa William Cook, University of Texas Austin, USA Sophia Drossopolou, Imperial College London, UK Catherine Dubois, ENSIIE, France Stéphane Ducasse, INRIA Lille, France Manuel Fahndrich, Microsoft Research, USA Harald Gall, University of Zurich, Switzerland Benoit Garbinato, University of Lausanne, Switzerland Angelo Gargantini, University of Bergamo, Italy Jeff Gray, University of Alabama Birmingham, USA Kathryn Gray, University of Cambridge, UK Thomas Gschwind, IBM Research, Switzerland Matthias Hauswith, University of Lugano, Switzerland Nigel Horspool, University of Victoria, Canada Tomas Kalibera, Charles University, Czech Republic Gerti Kappel, Vienna University of Technology, Austria Doug Lea, State University of New York Oswego, USA Shane Markstrum, Brucknell University, USA Peter Müller, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Oscar Nierstrasz, University of Bern, Switzerland James Noble, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand Nate Nystrom, University of Texas Arlington, USA Manuel Oriol, University of York, UK Jonathan Ostroff, York University, Canada Richard Paige, University of York, UK Shaz Qadeer, Microsoft Research, USA Awais Rashid, Lancaster University, UK Vivek Sarkar, Rice University, USA Doug Schmidt, Vanderbilt University, USA Manuel Serrano, INRIA Sophia Antipolis, France Peter Thiemann, University of Freiburg, Germany Dave Thomas, Bedarra Research Labs, Canada Laurence Tratt, Bournemouth University, UK Mandana Vaziri, IBM Research, USA Tian Zhao, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, USA

by Ursula Burri (Java User Group Switzerland) 07 Dec '09

07 Dec '09

Sehr geehrte CHOOSE-Mitglieder Neu wird die Java User Group Switzerland auch in Bern Events anbieten können - wir freuen uns sehr, Sie zum Auftaktevent am 14. Dezember mit einem attraktiven Programm einladen zu dürfen! Angelika Langer hält einen Vortrag zum Thema *Die Kunst des Garbage Collector Tunings* und Klaus Kreft stellt anschliessend den neuen *Garbage Collector "Garbage First" (kurz "G1")* vor. Für weitere Informationen lesen Sie unten weiter oder besuchen Sie die Eventseite mit dem Anmeldeformular <http://www.jugs.ch/html/events/2009/garbage_collectoren.html?by=JUGS%20mail…>. Mit freundlichen Grüssen Der Vorstand der JUG Switzerland ---------------------------------------------------------------- The Mystery of Garbage Collection, Tuning und neuer Garbage First (G1) Collector ============================================= 14.12.2009 Universität Bern, Hochschulstr. 4, Bern, Raum 101 Anreiseinformationen: <http://map.search.ch/bern/hochschulstr.4> Gebäudeplan (S. 3) <http://www.hoerraeume.unibe.ch/hrz_medien_PDFStandorte/006_Plan_Hauptgebaeu…> REFERENTEN ---------- Angelika Langer, AngelikaLanger.com Klaus Kreft AGENDA ------ 17:00 - 17:55 Uhr Vortrag Angelika Langer inkl. Fragen/Antworten 17:55 - 18:05 Uhr kurze Pause 18:05 - 19:00 Uhr Vortrag Klaus Kreft inkl. Fragen/Antworten Anschliessend an den Event sind Sie zu einem Apéro eingeladen. VORTRAG 1 --------- *Die Kunst des Garbage Collector Tunings* Die Garbage Collectoren in der virtuellen Maschine von Sun sind mit jedem Release weiter entwickelt worden. Mittlerweile sieht sich der Benutzer einer verwirrenden Vielzahl von GC-Varianten und Konfigurationsparametern gegenüber. Um Licht ins Dunkel zu bringen werden in diesem Tutorial die verschiedenen Garbage Collectoren erläutert und eingeordnet und es werden Strategien für das GC-Tuning besprochen. Der Vortrag führt in die Kunst der Garbage-Collection-Tunings ein. Es werden die in der Sun JVM verwendeten Algorithmen vorgestellt, damit der Benutzer entscheiden kann, welcher Collector der richtige für seine Anwendung ist. Es werden die wichtigsten Konfigurationsparameter erläutert, damit der gewählte Algorithmus optimal eingestellt werden kann. Damit man sich beim Tuning nicht verzettelt, ist es wichtig, sich erst einmal über seine Tuning-Ziele klar zu werden. Deshalb werden in der Session die wichtigsten Tuning-Ziele definiert und Tuning-Techniken und Werkzeuge vorgestellt, mit denen die Ziele erreicht werden können. Angelika Langer arbeitet als Trainerin und Consultant mit eigenem Schulungsprogramm im Bereich der Software-Entwicklung mit C++ und Java. Sie ist Sprecherin auf zahlreichen Konferenzen, darunter JavaOne, OOPLSA, JAX, und viele andere. Zusammen mit Klaus Kreft ist sie Autorin zahlreicher Veröffentlichungen, darunter die ehemalige Kolumne "Effective Java" im JavaMagazin sowie das online "Java Generics FAQ". Weitere Informationen unter www.AngelikaLanger.com. VORTRAG 2 --------- Der neue Garbage Collector "Garbage First" (kurz "G1") Für die Virtuelle Maschine von Sun wurde ein neuartiger Garbage-Collection-Algorithmus, "G1" genannt, entwickelt, der in Java 7 der Standard-Algorithmus sein wird und für Early Adopters bereits in Java 6 Update 14 vorab verfügbar ist. Das Ziel dieses neuen Garbage Collectors ist es, die Stop-World-Phasen verlässlicher zu steuerm, ohne dabei den Durchsatz der Applikation wesentlich zu beeinträchtigen. Im Vortrag werden die Prinzipien des "G1"-Algorithmus erläutert und Unterschiede zu den herkömmlichen Algorithmen aufgezeigt, damit Java-Entwickler beurteilen können, ob G1-Garbage-Collection eine brauchbare Alternative für ihr Projekt ist. Klaus Kreft arbeitet seit ca. 15 Jahren als Consultant im Bereich der Software-Entwicklung mit Java. Sein Interesse gilt hauptsächlich komplexen Systemen mit hohen Performance-Anforderungen. Er ist Sprecher auf Fachkonferenzen, darunter die OOP. Zusammen mit Angelika Langer ist er Autor zahlreicher Veröffentlichungen, darunter die Kolumne "Effective Java" im JavaMagazin.

Dear CHOOSE and SWEN friends, Don't forget: ============================================================= Agile Development in Practice - for managers and - for developers ------------------------------------------------------------- Conducted by: Kevlin Henney, Software architect and pragmatic agilist. ============================================================= 10. and 11. December 2009 At Technopark Zurich Target Audience - Project Manager, R&D Manager, CEO of sme's who want to know what agile development means from management perspective and how it is done in practice. - Software Developers who want to learn best practices of agile software development and how to implement them in their projects. About Kevlin Henney: Kevlin Henney is an independent consultant and trainer based in Bristol, UK. He has variously developed and delivered training courses, consultancy and software across a number of domains ever since getting involved in professional software development in the late 1980s. Kevlin's work focuses on software architecture, patterns, development process and programming languages. He has been a columnist for various magazines and online publications, including Better Software, The Register, Java Report and C++ Report. With Frank Buschmann and Doug Schmidt, he is coauthor of two volumes in the Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture series: A Pattern Language for Distributed Computing and On Patterns and Pattern Languages. Kevlin is the editor of the "97 Things Every Programmer Should Know" project. About the Workshops Agile development promises a more reactive and responsible approach to development. But what does this mean in practice for managers and other non-developer roles or developers? There are many misconceptions about what agile development entails for project management, ranging from no management to extreme management and also for day-to-day programming, ranging from a lack of discipline to a straitjacketed and rule-driven regime. These issues will be tackled in the two separate workshop days: WS1: Agile Development in Practice for Managers The goal of the Agile Development in Practice for Managers workshop is to present a sample of many of the process ideas that agile development encompasses (including XP, Scrum and Lean Development), and also many of the practices individuals, teams and companies find beneficial, addressing questions of decision making, development activities, planning and requirements. WS2: Agile Development in Practice for Developers The goal of the Agile Development in Practice for Developers workshop is to present a sample of many of the practical ideas that agile development encompasses (including XP, Scrum and Lean Development), and also many of the practices individuals, teams and companies find beneficial, addressing questions of decision making, testing, coding style, incremental design and refactoring. The workshop language is English Info and registration ---------------------- You find more detailed information, the flyer for download and the registration on our web site http://www.swen-network.ch/veranstaltungen/ws2009-2/ The number of participants is limited to 20 per workshop Registration Fees: ------------------ The workshops are free for SWEN members For Non-Members 150.- CHF per workshop (or become SWEN Member :-) ) Your Software Engineering Network SWEN Martin Kropp www.swen-network.ch -------------------------------------------------------- Fachhochschule Nordwestschweiz Hochschule für Technik Institut für Mobile und Verteilte Systeme Prof. Martin Kropp Dozent Steinackerstrasse 5, CH-5210 Windisch -------------------------------------------------------- T: +41 56 462 4735(direkt) martin.kropp(a)fhnw.ch www.fhnw.ch
