Informatik-Kolloquium
by Sabine Gerber 13 Jun '06

13 Jun '06

Einladung zum nächsten Kolloquium: Friday 30 June at 11h30 Institut für Informatik und angewandte Mathematik Schützenmattstrasse 14, 3012 Bern Seminar Room 107 Speaker: Prof. Houari Sahraoui, University of Montreal, Canada Title: Visual Detection of Design Anomalies and Evolution phenomena in OO Programs Abstract: Design anomalies introduced in early stages of software development or during its evolution are frequent causes of low maintainability, high complexity, and possibly faulty behaviors. Detecting and correcting these anomalies have an important impact on the quality of software, and particularly on its evolvability. In this presentation, we describe a semi-automatic technique for anomaly detection based on visualization of large-scale software programs. Our visualization framework VERSO combines human visual system capabilities with composition of visual filters, and animation to detect a large spectrum of design anomalies and evolution phenomena. Bio: Houari A. Sahraoui is associate professor at the department of computer science and operations research (GEODES, software engineering group) of University of Montreal. His research interests include the application of artificial intelligence techniques to software engineering, object-oriented metrics, software quality, software visualization, and software reverse- and re-engineering. He has published more than 80 papers in conferences, workshops, and journals and edited two books. He served as steering, program, and organization committee member in several major conferences (ECOOP, ASE, METRICS, ICSM...) and as member of the editorial boards of two journals. He was the general chair of the IEEE Automated Software Engineering Conference in 2003.

Jan Vitek - CHOOSE talk - Wed May 31 @ 17h15 - Java for Safety-Critical Hard Real-time Systems
by Oscar Nierstrasz 23 May '06

23 May '06

The CHOOSE executive board is pleased to invite you to a presentation by Prof. Jan Vitek, Purdue University on 'Java for Safety-Critical Hard Real-time Systems'. This event is free for all SI-CHOOSE members, even the drinks after the talk! Non-CHOOSE members are encouraged to fill out the membership application form (http://www.s-i.ch/si-appl.html) before attending the meeting. If you want to know more about CHOOSE and the events which CHOOSE organises, please visit http://www.choose.s-i.ch/. NOTE: registration for this event is required. Please fill out the registration form at the end of this e-mail. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Java for Safety-Critical Hard Real-time Systems =============================================== Wednesday, May 31, 2006 Institut fuer Wirtschaftsinformatik (IWI), Universitaet Bern, Engehaldenstrasse 8, 3012 Bern, Hoersaal 002. Travel instructions: http://www.iam.unibe.ch/~scg/Resources/Maps/ Speaker ------- Prof. Jan Vitek, Purdue University Agenda ------ 17h15 Talk and Q/A Afterwards you are invited to a refreshment. Abstract ======== Real-time systems are notoriously difficult to design and implement, and, as many real-time problems are safety-critical, their solutions must be reliable as well as efficient and correct. While higher-level programming models (such as the Real-Time Specification for Java) permit real-time programmers to use language features that most programmers take for granted (objects, type checking, dynamic dispatch, and memory safety) the compromises required for real-time execution can create as many problems. This talk reports on our experience implementing an open-source real- time Java Virtual Machine, and on the development of a navigation system for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle in a collaboration with the Boeing Company. I will then present two techniques for enhanced assurance in safety- and mission-critical systems. The STARS methodology is a new approach to the engineering of reliable hard real-time embedded systems. STARS is based on two new technologies: a pluggable type system for enforcing memory safety and an aspect- oriented language that separates real-time concerns from application logic. The second technique, Preemptible Atomic Region (PARs), provides guarantees of progress and protection against data races for concurrent embedded programs. The implement of PARs is based on a real-time software transactional memory and has been integrated in a real-time Java virtual machine. I shall conclude with a list of open research challenges. Bio === Jan Vitek is an Associate Professor in Computer Science at Purdue University. He leads the Secure Software Systems lab. He obtained his PhD from the University of Geneva in 1999, and a MSc from the University of Victoria in 1995. Prof. Vitek research interests include programming language, virtual machines, mobile code, software engineering and information security. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- REGISTRATION ------------ Please DO NOT reply to this e-mail!

by Ursula Burri 11 Mar '06

11 Mar '06

Sehr geehrtes CHOOSE-Mitglied Die /ch/open lädt Sie ein, sich für den nächsten Swiss Open Business Lunch in Bern anzumelden: *15.3.06* 11.45 Uhr: Fédéral Entrecôte Café, Bärenplatz 31, Bern/BE (vor dem Bundeshaus), Tel.: 031 311 16 24 Joe Ammann, Swiss Open Systems User Group, hält zu Beginn einen Kurzvortrag zum Thema: *MythTV* *Abstract:* Linux steht bei vielen Beobachtern im Ruf, in Sachen Multimedia ziemlich rückständig zu sein. Nichts könnte falscher sein als diese Meinung! In den letzen Jahren wurden Dutzende von Multimedia-Projekten vorangetrieben, und inzwischen existieren Software-Lösungen für fast jeden Bereich. Auch den Herstellern von Consumer-Elektronik-Geräten blieb dies nicht verborgen, und Linux nimmt heute seinen Platz in immer mehr Setop-Boxen, DVD-Playern und ähnlichen Geräten ein. Im ersten Teil der Präsentation werden ein paar ausgewählte Projekte und Techniken aus den Bereichen Audio, Video und Imaging vorgestellt. Mit MythTV werden danach die Möglichkeiten eines vollständigen Heim-Mulitmedia-Centers basierend auf Open Source Software gezeigt. TV mit Programmführer, Radio, Video, DVD, Audio, Bildergallerie und umfassende Informationen sind die wichtigsten Elemente. Neben der Demonstration gibt es auch Tipps für den Kauf passender Hardware sowie für die Installation. *Bio:* Joe Ammann, Vorstandsmitglied der /ch/open, hat vor zweieinhalb Jahren den Grossteil der Heimelektronik durch ein MythTV Media Center ersetzt. Inzwischen wurde das System zum "Mission Critical Element" für seine Familie :-) Er berichtet von seinen Erfahrungen, Erfolgen und auch Rückschlägen beim Einsatz des Media Centers. Gerne erwarten wir Ihre Anmeldung unter <http://www.ch-open.ch/events/lunchbe.html> bis zum 14.3.06.

9.3. JUGS-Event JBoss inside
by Ursula Burri 18 Feb '06

18 Feb '06

Dear CHOOSE-Member We are glad to invite you to the next talk given by Sacha Labourey, CTO JBoss, Christian Bauer, Hibernate Team and Bela Ban, Lead JGroups and JBossCache projects: *9.3.: Inside JBoss* For more information see below or <http://www.jugs.ch/html/events.html> (with online registration form). Best Regards, The JUGS Board ---------------------------------------------------------------- Inside JBoss ============ 9.3.06 Technopark Zurich, Room Fortran Travel instructions: <http://www.technopark.ch> > Kontakt > Lageplan SPEAKERS -------- Sacha Labourey, CTO JBoss Christian Bauer, Hibernate Team Bela Ban, Lead JGroups and JBossCache projects AGENDA ------ 14:00 - 14:05: Welcome Silvano Maffeis, JUGS Board 14:05 - 15:20: JBoss Enterprise Middleware Suite Sacha Labourey, CTO JBoss 15:20 - 16:35: Hibernate Christian Bauer, Hibernate Team 16:35 - 17:00: Break 17:00 - 18:15: JBoss Clustering Bela Ban, Lead JGroups and JBossCache projects 18:15 - 18:30: More questions and answers 18:30 - ? : Refreshment ABSTRACTS --------- *Sacha Labourey: JBoss Enterprise Middleware Suite* Many JUGS members have used the JBoss Application Server in one way or another. However, not everybody might be aware of the other "jewels" which are part of the JBoss Enterprise Middleware Suite. JBoss Enterprise Middleware Suite (JEMS) is an extensible and scalable suite of products for creating and deploying e-business applications. JEMS offers cutting-edge technology components which customers can mix-and-match and roll out into their line of business infrastructure - all at zero-cost software licenses. Sacha will talk about those JEMS products and also give a glimpse of what you can expect from JBoss in the future. *Christian Bauer: Hibernate* Christian Bauer will present the technical background behind Hibernate, the most popular persistence solution for Java, and how the project evolved into an EJB 3.0 persistence provider. The significantly improved and simplified EJB entity beans of the new standard, and how object/relational database mapping is handled, are another topic of this presentation. Finally, the new JBoss Seam framework is presented. Seam can greatly simplify and speed up web application development in Java, by introducing a new stateful component concept, based on EJB3 and JavaServer Faces. *Bela Ban: JBoss Clustering* The talk will give an overview of JBoss Clustering. First, we will define what clustering constitutes, and discuss load balancing and failover. Then we will identify what can be clustered, e.g. HTTP sessions, SFSBs, EJBs, and how to configure them for clustering. Finally, we will take a look at the underlying architecture in place to achieve clustering, e.g. JGroups and JBossCache. The attendees should be familiar with J2EE and preferably have used the JBoss application server before. BIOGRAPHIES ----------- *Sacha Labourey* Born in Neuchatel, Switzerland 1975, Sacha Labourey is the CTO (Chief Technology Officer) of JBoss Inc. Previously, Sacha was the General Manager of JBoss (Europe) SaRL, focused on managing the rapid expansion of the JBoss, Inc.'s European business. Sacha was also responsible for the first implementation of load-balancing/fail over for JBoss. Prior to the JBoss, Inc., he was the founder of Cogito Informatique, a Swiss consulting firm company working in the application server and middleware fields. Sacha is a graduate of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology graduate computer science program. *Christian Bauer* Christian Bauer is working as a Technical Product Manager and consultant for Hibernate, EJB3, and JBoss Seam at JBoss, Inc. He is the author of the best-selling book "Hibernate in Action" and has designed and created database applications for more than a decade. He regularly speaks publicly about Java, databases, and data management. *Bela Ban* I completed my PhD at the University of Zurich, Switzerland. After some time at IBM Research, I did a post-doc at Cornell. Then I worked at Fujitsu Network Communications in San Jose, California. In 2003, I joined JBoss Inc to work full-time on open source. I'm leading the JGroups and JBossCache projects. My interests include network protocols, performance, group communication, trail running, biking and beerathlon. If not hacking code I spend time with my family.

REMINDER - Thu Feb 9 - Bern - Gilad Bracha CHOOSE talk - Objects as Software Services
by Oscar Nierstrasz 03 Feb '06

03 Feb '06

The CHOOSE executive board is pleased to invite you to a presentation by Gilad Bracha (Sun Microsystems) on 'Objects as Software Services: Toward a World without Releases'. This event is free for all SI-CHOOSE members, even the drinks after the talk! Non-CHOOSE members are encouraged to fill out the membership application form (http://www.s-i.ch/si-appl.html) before attending the meeting. If you want to know more about CHOOSE and the events which CHOOSE organises, please visit http://www.choose.s-i.ch/. NOTE: registration for this event is required. Please fill out the registration form at the end of this e-mail. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Objects as Software Services: Toward a World without Releases ============================================================= Feb 9, 2006 Institut fuer Wirtschaftsinformatik (IWI), Universitaet Bern, Engehaldenstrasse 8, 3012 Bern, Hoersaal 001. Travel instructions: http://www.iam.unibe.ch/~scg/Resources/Maps/ Speaker ------- Gilad Bracha, Computational Theologist & Distinguished Engineer - Java SE Sun Microsystems Agenda ------ 17h15 Talk and Q/A Afterwards you are invited to a refreshment. Abstract ======== Software services seek to combine the advantages of traditional client applications and web services. Software services go beyond web services in supporting rich interaction when networks are slow, unreliable or nonexistent. At the same time, software services retain the advantages associated with web services: they are always available and always up to date. Software services have the potential to radically transform software development, as they enable a world without versions and releases. We discuss the advantages of dynamic object oriented language principles in facilitating the design of an object based platform for software services. Bio === Gilad Bracha is a Computational Theologist and Distinguished Engineer at Sun Microsystems. He is co-author and maintainer of the Java Language Specification, and a researcher in the area of object- oriented programming languages. Prior to joining Sun, he worked on Strongtalk, the Animorphic Smalltalk System. He received his B.Sc in Mathematics and Computer Science from Ben Gurion University in Israel and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Utah. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- REGISTRATION ------------ Please DO NOT reply to this e-mail!
