Referent: Prof. Dr. Thomas Kühne
Technische Universität Darmstadt
(Darmstadt University of Technology)
Thema: Architecture Stratification
Abstract:
The OMG's new MDA (model driven architecture) approach promises a large
productivity gain by making models the primary software artifact, thus
insulating software designs against frequent changes in realization
technologies. However, the proposed separation into PIM (platform
independent model) and PSM (platform specific model) is not sufficient.
Architecture Stratification is proposed as a multi-stage (as opposed to
two-stage) transformation process, enabling all aspects (not just
platform dependencies) of a system to be introduced one at a time. Each
such stage (stratum) represents a level of abstraction that is of some
value for a particular stakeholder/developer. The approach takes the
age old idea of stepwise refinement but interprets it in a spatial
rather than temporal manner. It is compatible with and complements
technologies such as separation of concerns, frameworks, and design
patterns.

IAM of the University of Berne, the SCG and CHOOSE is proud to announce
the talk of Prof. Ralph Johnson.
Title: "Toward's an Architect's Handbook"
Ralph E. Johnson - University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
One of the events that led to the book "Design Patterns" was an OOPSLA
workshop to investigate what kind of handbook should be used by a
software
architect. Design patterns were one of the things that we thought
should be
in such a handbook. But the software engineering community in general,
and
patterns writers in particular, are still far from an architect's
handbook.
This talk will explain the vision, what is missing, a few recent books
that
in my opinion are big steps towards the goal, and what we should do to
fulfill our vision.
When: friday 21 February 2003 at 17h30
Where:

Dear CHOOSE member,
Besides working at ETH Zurich, I also work with the University of Bergen, Norway. Hence, I have been asked to
raise awareness about the following conference in Switzerland:
rOOts conference, 5th - 7th of May 2003, Bergen, Norway
Conference site: http://roots.dnd.no/
Conference program: http://roots.dnd.no/2003/program/program.html
Short outline: The rOOts conference, now firmly established in the European OO community as a serious annual
event, is a forum for debate and study of recent and emerging trends in OO methodology, design and
implementations. The format provides opportunities for both managers and programmers to learn together and
discuss these topics in both formal and informal environments. In three years the rOOts conference has emerged
as one of Europe's premier arenas for presentation and demonstration of OO innovation.
Thanks for your attention and best regards,
