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! Bio === Bernhard Rytz arbeitet als Architekt und Projektleiter für die Firma ELCA (www.elca.ch), einen führenden Schweizer IT-Dienstleister mit über 300 Ingenieuren. Herr Rytz hat sich seit 8 Jahren auf verteilte Systeme und Integrationsprojekte spezialisiert. In diesem Gebiet hat er mehrere grosse Firmen im Finanz- und Telekombereich dabei unterstützt, bestehende Systeme zu modernisieren, Legacy-Systeme zu integrieren und systematische Integrationsplattformen zu definieren. Zur Zeit untersucht er vertieft Integrationslösungen im Portalbereich. Im Nebenamt unterrichtet Bernhard Rytz seit 1997 an der FH Solothurn "object-oriented software engineering". Seine Ausbildung absolvierte er an der Carnegie Mellon University und der ETH Lausanne, welche er mit einem Dipl. Ing.

Kolloquium vom 3.2.04

by Sabine Gerber

Einladung zum nächsten Vortrag: Dienstag, 3. Februar 2004, 17.30 Uhr in der Uni Engehalde, Engehaldenstrasse 8, 3012 Bern, Hörsaal 001 (1. UG) Shriram Krishnamurthi Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island, USA Automated Modular Verification in Product-Line Systems Feature-oriented programming organizes programs around features rather than objects, thus supporting extensible, product-line architectures. Programming languages increasingly support this style of programming, but programmers get little support from verification tools. Ideally, programmers should be able to verify features independently of each other and use automated compositional reasoning techniques to infer properties of a system from properties of its features. Unfortunately, most modular model checking techniques do not support feature-oriented modules; they betray their hardware roots by assuming that modules compose in parallel. In contrast, feature-oriented modules compose sequentially in the simplest case; most interesting feature-oriented designs are really quasi-sequential compositions of parallel compositions. These designs therefore demand and inspire new verification techniques. This talk gives an overview of feature-oriented modules, our compositional model checking methodology for them, and its application to real software systems. Shriram Krishnamurthi is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Brown University. His research lies at the confluence of programming languages, software engineering and computer-aided verification. His recent projects have focused primarily on modular verification of product-line software, and the semantics of Web interactions. He is a co-author of the DrScheme programming environment, the FASTLINK genetic linkage analysis package, and the book How to Design Programs (MIT Press, 2001). He has more recently written Programming Languages: Application and Interpretation. He also coordinates the TeachScheme! high school computer science outreach program.

by Igor Metz

The CHOOSE executive board is pleased to invite you to a presentation by Michael Hirsch (Zühlke Engineering AG) on Making RUP Agile. 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.iam.unibe.ch/CHOOSE. NOTE: registration for this event is required. Please fill out the registration form at the end of this e-mail. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Making RUP Agile ================ Thursday Feb. 12 @ 17h00 Institut für Wirtschaftsinformatik (IWI), Universität Bern, Engehaldenstrasse 8, 3012 Bern, Hörsaal 002 Travel instructions: http://www.iam.unibe.ch/~scg/Resources/Maps/ Speaker ------- Michael Hirsch, Zühlke Engineering AG Agenda ------ 17h00 - 18h00 Talk and Q/A Afterwards you are invited to a refreshment. Abstract ======== The Rational Unified Process (RUP) is a comprehensive process covering almost all aspects of software development projects. Due to its great level of detail, RUP has - quite wrongly - the reputation of being too heavyweight for agile development projects. This talk will show how to configure RUP for agile development. Topics covered include what artifacts to use and not to use, best practices for planning and monitoring projects, best practices for handling requirements, and best practices for analysis and design. The talk will be concluded by a brief demonstration of a real world project which was successfully completed with an agile version of RUP. Bio === Michael Hirsch has 20 years of experience in the software industry in various roles, including project manager, software architect and software developer. The last 10 years he has been with Zühlke Engineering AG, a software contractor and software consultancy in Switzerland. He has been using RUP since 1998, when he led a team that introduced RUP at Zühlke Engineering and adapted it to the company's needs. Since then Zühlke Engineering has successfully completed more than 20 projects with an agile version of RUP. Today, Michael splits his time between managing software development projects, coaching and mentoring project teams, and teaching classes on software processes and object oriented analysis and design. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- REGISTRATION ------------ Please DO NOT reply to this e-mail!

Abstract -------- Software testing is an important, but also very hard task. In this talk we will present a testing approach, where parts of the testing process in done automatically. In order for this to happen we have made an extended version of Java that enables the programmer to specify a formal description of Equivalence Partitions and to use Design by Contract as in Eiffel. The combination of these two extensions allows a tool to generate and evaluate test cases automatically. The talk will explain the tool step by step and provide a concrete example. Bio --- Per Madsen is a Ph.D. student from Aalborg University in Denmark. He got a master degree in Computer Science in 1998. From 1998 until 2001 he was employed as a Software Developer in a private company working with baggage handling control systems in airports. After realizing that software testing is a major problem in the industry he returned to the university to become a Ph.D. student. He is now working on the design and implementation of a tool for automatic test case generation. From October 1th 2003 until February 1th 2004 he is a guest at the Chair of Software Engineering, ETH Zurich. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- REGISTRATION ------------ Please DO NOT reply to this e-mail!

Adding Generics to The Java(tm) Programming Language

by ducasse

We invite you to attend the following talk: Adding Generics to The Java(tm) Programming Language Gilad Bracha Computational Theologist Sun Microsystems Abstract Generic types allow users to write programs that work uniformly over a family of types. Generic types make programs more robust and type-safe, and more readable, by eliminating the clutter of unnecessary casts. Typical uses are container classes such as collections, lists and stacks. Generic types will be incorporated into the Java(tm) programming language in the upcoming 1.5 release. In this talk, we highlight key features of the generics extension and discuss tradeoffs between functionality, compatibility, and performance. Bio Gilad Bracha is a computational theologist at Sun Microsystems, 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 holds a 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. When: tuesday 20th of January at 17h15 Where: Institut für Wirtschaftsinformatik (IWI), Universität Bern, Engehaldenstrasse 8, 3012 Bern, Hörsaal 001 Travel instructions: http://www.iam.unibe.ch/~scg/Resources/Maps/

Sig Beer at Berne

by ducasse

Hi all Daniel Ratiu that has been sponsored by Choose for a visit to the SCG/IAM will present the results of his master thesis by giving a talk: "Time-Based Detection Strategies". The diploma thesis topic is to extend of the current way of detecting design flaws (i.e. based on information in one version only) to also take into consideration historical information (e.g. how stable is a class suspected of being a God Class). He used the concept of Detection Strategy which is defined as the the quantifiable expression of a rule, by which design fragments that are conformant to that rule can be detected in the source code. Thus, he defined detection strategies based on software measurements which take the historical information into account. Daniel Ratiu is a freshly graduated engineer and this presentation is about his work performed mainly during the diploma project. When: Tuesday 18th of November 2003 At: 17h15 Where: room 107 Schützenmattstrasse 14 Software Composition Group Institut für Informatik Universität Bern Neubrückstrasse 10 CH-3012 Bern SWITZERLAND Map: http://www.iam.unibe.ch/cgi-bin/getpage.py?finding.html&e Stef choose-news(a)iam.unibe.ch is a *moderated* mailing list for announcing non-commercial events related to Object Technology in Switzerland.
