Please fill out the registration form at the end of this e-mail. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Expressing Context-dependent Behavioral Variations with Context- oriented Programming ======================================================================== ============ When: Monday, Sept 17, 2007 Where: Universitaet Bern, Engehaldenstrasse 8, 3012 Bern, Hoersaal 001 Travel instructions: http://www.iam.unibe.ch/~scg/Resources/Maps/ Speaker ------- Robert Hirschfeld, HPI Potsdam, Germany Expressing Context-dependent Behavioral Variations with Context- oriented Programming (joint work with Pascal Costanza, VUB Brussels, Belgium) Agenda ------ 17h30 Talk and Q/A Afterwards you are invited to a refreshment. Abstract ======== Context-oriented Programming, or COP, provides programmers with dedicated abstractions and mechanisms to concisely represent behavioral variations that depend on execution context. By treating context explicitly, and by directly supporting dynamic composition based on it, COP allows programmers to better express software entities that adapt their behavior late-bound, at runtime. Our presentation will illustrate COP constructs, their application, and their implementation, as well the relationship of COP to other approaches such as feature-oriented and aspect-oriented programming. We use Squeak as a programming environment to demonstrate sample scenarios. Bio === Robert Hirschfeld is a Professor of Computer Science at the Hasso- Plattner-Institut in Potsdam. There he leads the Software Architecture Group that is concerned with fundamental elements and structures of software, developing methods and tools for improving the comprehension and design of complex systems. Robert Hirschfeld was a senior researcher with DoCoMo Euro-Labs, the European research facility of NTT DoCoMo Japan, where he worked on infrastructure components for next generation mobile systems with a focus on dynamic service adaptation and aspect-oriented programming. Prior to joining Euro-Labs, he was a principal engineer at Windward Solutions in Sunnyvale, California. Robert Hirschfeld received a Ph.D. in Computer Science form the Technical University of Ilmenau, Germany. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- REGISTRATION ------------ Please DO NOT reply to this e-mail!

Talk by Prem Devanbu at UZH on Aug 30, 16.00

by Harald Gall

Dear CHOOSErs, I am happy to announce a SIGBeer talk on Thursday, August 30, 2007, 16.00 at our institute. The talk is by Prof Prem Devanbu, an expert in the area of software engineering and particularly in software evolution and software repository mining. He will present his latest results on analyzing several open source projects. I hope to see many of you. best regards, Harald Gall Title: Interdisciplinary Studies of Open Source Software (OSS) Projects. Speaker: Prof. Prem Devanbu, http://www.cs.ucdavis.edu/~devanbu/ location: University of Zurich, Department of Informatics, Binzmuehlestrasse 14, 8050 Zurich (train station Oerlikon) Room 2.A.01 http://www.ifi.unizh.ch/ifi/how_to_reach_us/ Abstract: We all love to hate large software systems. They are hard to build, hard to evolve, and don't work very well. Why is this? A lot of reasons, some social, some technical, and some socio-technical. We believe that OSS provides an excellent source of data to test hypotheses about the factors that affect important phenomena/outcomes in software projects. Our group at UC Davis, comprising bio-informaticians, organizational behaviourists, physicists, and software engineers, is using a range of different approaches to the analyze the veritable torrents of data pouring out of open source projects to understand how things work in OSS, and what tools and techniques can help. One important issue is <<IMMIGRATION>>: how do new people join projects, and how can we help the difficult intellectual and social challenges they face. We present two results: 1) What are the factors influencing immigration of new developers in Open source projects? 2.a) Can we build "recommender" tools that help programmers deal with "information overload" by helping them focus their attention? 2.b) Such tools have always been evaluated with user studies. Can we do something more quantitative? Joint work with: V. Filkov, A. Swaminathan, G. Hsu, R. DeSouza, S. Roy and students C. Bird, Z. Saul, D. Posnett, Y. Wang, A. Gourley, D. Pattison. We gratefully acknowledge support from the U.S. National Science Foundation (Science of Design and Human and Social Dynamics Programs), the IBM Faculty Fellowship Program, and the GrammaTech and SciTools corporations.

11.-13.9.07: Workshop-Tage - jetzt anmelden!

by Ursula Burri

Sehr geehrte CHOOSE-Mitglieder Die /ch/open-Workshop-Tage finden dieses Jahr vom 11. - 13. September beim Departement Informationstechnologie und Elektrotechnik der ETH Zürich statt und werden zusammen mit der Java User Group Switzerland (JUGS) organisiert. Ermöglicht wird dies durch die IT-Support-Gruppe des Departements Informationstechnologie und Elektrotechnik (D-ITET, ETH Zürich). Ein Highlight der diesjährigen Workshop-Tage ist der Workshop von Adam Bien: "Praxisorientierte Java EE 5 Archtekturen mit Patterns, Idiomen, Utilities ...und viel Source Code". Adam Bien hat schon letztes Jahr einen "fulminanten" Workshop gehalten und dabei sehr gute Kritiken erhalten <http://www.ch-open.ch/wstage/06/ws5.html#Kursbeurteilung>. Ein Besuch seines Workshops ist - neben einem grossen Wissenszuwachs - einfach ein Erlebnis! Auch auf den Workshop von Christian Bauer "Introduction to JBoss Seam" möchten wir besonders hinweisen. Christian Bauer ist Mitglied der Developerteams von Hibernate und JBoss und kann damit natürlich in seinen Workshops aus dem Vollen schöpfen (die Details zum zweiten Kurs über Hibernate folgen in Kürze)! Der Workshop wird - je nach Teilnehmern - Deutsch oder Englisch gehalten, die Slides sind Englisch. Weiter stehen Workshop zu Ruby on Rails, MySQL und Scrum auf dem Programm: "MySQL Performance Tuning" und "MySQL High-Availability und Scale-out Architekturen" mit Oliver Sennhauser "Ruby on Rails - Hype, 'Business as usual' oder 'The next big thing'?" mit Jens-Christian Fischer "Einführung in die agile Projektleitung mit Scrum" mit Peter Stevens Das sind nur ein paar ausgewählte Beispiele aus dem Programm - die ganze Übersicht gibt es unter <http://www.ch-open.ch/wstage/07/>. Dank der grosszügigen Unterstützung der IT-Support-Gruppe des Departements Informationstechnologie und Elektrotechnik (D-ITET) können wir auch dieses Jahr die Preise gewohnt günstig halten (mit einer Mitgliedschaft bei der /ch/open noch günstiger!). Reservieren Sie sich rechtzeitig Ihren Platz!
