Colloquium Annoucement, Speaker: Fernando Boavida (FCTUC – University of Coimbra, Portugal)
by Ruth Bestgen 07 Nov '08

07 Nov '08

Fernando Boavida (FCTUC – University of Coimbra, Portugal): Content Networks – Research Vision and Roadmap University of Bern, Institute of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics, Neubrückstrasse 10, 3012 Bern, Room 302 November 14, 2008, 11.15 am Abstract: Due to the technological development, production of multimedia content is no longer restricted to first tier producers. Furthermore, many citizens are nowadays connected to some kind of communication networks and want to use them for sharing content they produce. It is the goal of the CONTENT Network of Excellence to enable end-user communities to efficiently share, distribute, manage, and use audio-visual content via these networks. At the network level, CONTENT addresses issues in the delivery path and develops on top of P2P-based overlay solutions for content services. While these concerns are reflected in a three layer architecture comprising community networks, overlay networks, and content service networks, it is of importance to integrate those different concerns and consider at the same time cross-cutting issues, like monitoring, adaptation, and routing. It is the aim of this talk to present the CONTENT research vision by identifying and discussing the research challenges that are being addressed in the project. Furthermore, this talk presents the project road map for these future research challenges. The presentation ends with a brief description of the research work currently being carried out by the University of Coimbra in this project. Bio: Fernando Boavida received his PhD in Informatics Engineering in 1990, and he currently is Full Professor at the Department of Informatics Engineering (DEI) of the Faculty of Sciences and Technology of the University of Coimbra. He is the leader of the Laboratory of Communications and Telematics (LCT) of DEI and the Strategic Director for Communications and Information Technology of the University of Coimbra. His main research interests are Mobile and Ambient Networking, and Scalable Networking (quality of service issues, mobility and nomadicity, wireless sensor networks). His publications include six books, five book chapters, 35 papers in national conferences and journals, and 104 papers in international refereed journals and conference proceedings. He was the chairman of the Program Committee of QofIS’2001, IDMS-PROMS’2002, NETWORKING 2006, WWIC 2007 and FMN 2008 international conferences/workshops. He has been involved in numerous program committees of major international conferences, including INFOCOM 2006 and 2007. He participated in European initiatives/projects such as RARE (Réseaux IP Européenes), EWOS (European Workshop for Open Systems), COST263 (Quality of Future Internet Services), E-NET (Emerging Networking Technologies, IST-2001-37814), E-NEXT (FP6 Network of Excellence on Emerging Networking Experiments and Technologies) EuQoS (End-to-end Quality of Service support over heterogeneous networks, IST-FP6-2004-004503), WEIRD (WiMAX Extension to Isolated Research Data networks, IST FP6 Integrated Project 034622), OpenNet (Open Interconnect for the Internet Community, IST-FP6 Specific Support Action 035185) and CONTENT (Content Networks and Services for Home Users, IST-FP6-0384239).

Like its predecessors, TOOLS EUROPE 2009 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 field; many of the 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 neighboring 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. For a non-exclusive list of potential topic areas see the conference Web page. All contributions will be subject to a rigorous selection process - maximum acceptance rate of 25% - by the international Program Committee, with a stress on originality, practicality and overall quality.

Invitation to PhD Defense "Dynamic Object Flow Analysis"
by Adrian Lienhard 31 Oct '08

31 Oct '08

Hello everyone, On Tuesday, December 16, at 17:00 I will defend my PhD thesis. The defense will take place in room 001, Engehaldenstrasse 8, Bern (for directions please see http://www.iam.unibe.ch/institute/location ). After the defense, there will be an apéro. You are cordially invited to the defense and to the apéro. Cheers, Adrian Lienhard Software Composition Group University of Bern, Switzerland http://www.adrian-lienhard.ch/ ------------------------------------- TITLE: Dynamic Object Flow Analysis ABSTRACT: The behavior of an object-oriented software system is notoriously hard to understand from the source code alone. The main reason is the large gap between the program’s static structure and its actual runtime behavior. Features inherent to object-orientation, like object aliasing and late binding, – while providing a high degree of expressiveness to model an application domain — make programs hard to understand, maintain, and analyze. Complementary to static analysis, dynamic analysis can help to close this gap by investigating the properties of a running program. The state of the art in dynamic analysis focuses on investigating runtime control ﬂow and structures of object graphs, but a thorough analysis of how objects are passed through a system is missing. Tracking how object references are transferred, however, is essential to analyze the dependencies introduced by object aliasing. In this dissertation we propose Object Flow Analysis, our approach to track object ﬂow by explicitly representing object references and reference transfer. Object Flow Analysis provides an effective way of analyzing and runtime monitoring dependencies introduced by object aliasing. To validate Object Flow Analysis, we propose three different reverse engineering applications that, based on Object Flow Analysis, reason about aliasing dependencies in object-oriented programs. Yet Object Flow Analysis extends beyond traditional reverse engineering applications. A key contribution of our work is that we advance the state of the art in back-in-time debugging by proposing and providing an implementation of the concept of Object Flow Analysis in a high- level language virtual machine.

by Harald Gall 30 Aug '08

30 Aug '08

Dear Choose members, We invite you to an exciting Choose SigBeer talk by Prof David Notkin and hope that many of you will attend. After the talk there will be an apéro for informal Q&A. best wishes, Harald Gall ---- Date: September 5, 2008, 14.00, University of Zurich, Binzmuehlestrasse 14, OG 2, Room 2.A.01 http://www.ifi.uzh.ch/ifi/how_to_reach_us/ Title: Software engineering research: just imagine if we didn't ignore reality Abstract: Software is, of course, crucial to society, and thus we must continue to improve our ability to effectively engineer software and software- intensive systems. Software is also heavily criticized -- both internally and externally -- for high costs, for high project failure rates, for not improving at the rate of hardware, etc. But are these and related criticisms indeed accurate -- even when backed by data -- and, even if they are, in what ways will they lead us towards our goal of more effectively engineering software? Reframing questions like these is the primary objective of the talk. Bio: David Notkin has been on the faculty at the University of Washington since 1984, now serving as Bradley Chair and Professor. He received an Sc.B. from Brown University in 1977 and a Ph.D. from Carnegie- Mellon University in 1984. He has advised nearly 20 Ph.D. students and in 2000 received the University of Washington's Distinguished Graduate Mentor award. He has served as chair of ACM SIGSOFT, program chair/co-chair of the International Conference on Software Engineering and of the 1st ACM SIGSOFT Symposium on the Foundations of Software Engineering, and is currently editor-in-chief of ACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology. He has spent sabbaticals at Tokyo Institute of Technology, Osaka University, IBM Haifa Research Lab, and Lund University. Until now, he has only been in Zurich's airport and train stations.
