Nääsvillen oliopäivät TTY:lla 25.-26.11.2008 / OO Days at TUT

(English summary, Program)

Oliopäivät on talkoovoimin järjestettävä maksuton yleisötapahtuma, jonka Pirkanmaan tietojenkäsittely-yhdistys ja Tampereen teknillinen yliopisto järjestivät ensi kerran vuonna 1991, ja vuodesta 1994 lähtien tapahtuma on järjestetty aina parillisina vuosina. Oliopäivien suosio on jatkuvasti kasvanut, ja vuoden 2006 oliopäivillä oli jo lähes 400 osallistujaa (ilmoittautumissivu jouduttiin sulkemaan tilarajoitusten vuoksi jo muutamia viikkoja ilmoittautumisen avaamisen jälkeen).

Oliopäivien 2008 ohjelman pääteemoja ovat ketterät menetelmät sekä niitä tukevat ohjelmistonkehitysympäristöt ja työkalut.  Keynote-puhujina ovat  maailman johtava agile-asiantuntija Alistair Cockburn ja oliomenetelmien huippuasiantuntija James Coplien. Suomalainen yleisö tuntee Alistairin ehkä parhaiten hänen mainioista  käyttötapauksia ja  ketteriä menetelmiä käsittelevistä oppikirjoistaan (mm. Writing Effective Use Cases ja Agile Software Development). Jim puolestaan muistetaan jo ensimmäisestä kirjastaan (Advanced C++ Programming Styles, 1991) lähtien terävänä ja kriittisenäkin olioteknologioiden ja ohjelmistoprojektien asiantuntijana.

Oliopäiviin liittyy perinteisesti myös joukko oheistapahtumia: 
  • MetaCase, Microsoft ja  IBM esittelevät tuotteitaan luentosalin lähellä olevissa erillisissä tiloissa.
  • Vietä mukava tutkimushenkinen perjantaipäivä 28.11. Jim Coplien esittelee MVC-mallin korvaajaksi uuden DCI-mallin esitelmässään Model-View-Controller: The Other Shoe Drops pe klo 9-11 salissa TB222 (Slides 0,2Mb), ja Johannes Koskinen väittelee samassa salissa klo 12:15 alkaen aiheesta Behavioral Profiles in Software Engineering: Motivations, Definitions, and Applications. (Väitös suomeksi.)
  • Tiistaina 26.11.Tekesin Tampereen palveluiden edustaja Manu Setälä on paikalla koko päivän. Hänen kanssaan voi keskustella  T&K-hankkeiden rahoittamisesta.
  • Talentum pystyttää salin ulkopuolelle kirjanäyttelyn tiistain ajaksi.

Oliopäivien tapahtumapaikkana on Tampereen teknillinen yliopisto,

Bios of keynote speakers

A brief bio of Alistair Cockburn
Dr. Cockburn was named one of "The All-Time Top 150 i-Technology Heroes". He designed IBM's first methodology for object technology in 1992, served as special advisor to the Central Bank of Norway in 1998, decoded the writing of effective use cases in 1999, co-authored the Manifesto for Agile Software Development in 2001, the Declaration of Interdependence in 2005, and won Jolt and Jolt Productivity book awards three times. He is the author of Agile Software Development: The Cooperative Game, Crystal Clear: A Human-Powered Methodology for Small Teams, and Writing Effective Use Cases. Much of his writings can be found at  http://Alistair.Cockburn.us.

A brief bio of Jim Coplien
Jim Coplien's career of 35 years has had broad influence on software  engineering, from early writings that shaped object-oriented design,  to his role as a co-founder of the Pattern discipline, and his seminal  research on Organizational Patterns that is acknowledged as a key  foundation of both Scrum and of XP. He has written pioneering books on  C++ programming, object-oriented design, software patterns, and Agile  software development. His current work focuses on Agile Architecture,  starting with up-front Lean architectural form to support Agile  development. Most recently, he has been working with MVC founder  Trygve Reenskaug to develop and refine the original humanistic vision  of object orientation, bringing objects into the Agile world. When he  grows up he wants to be an anthropologist.

Special guest lecture on Friday the 28th of  November, Auditorium TB222: Model-View-Controller: The Other Shoe Drops by Jim Coplien (Slides 0,2Mb)

The misguided, CASE-heavy practices of the 1980s fueled the proto- Agile rhetoric of the 1990s. This rhetoric survived full-force into  the advent of Agile practices such as Scrum and XP over the past  decade. Part of that rhetoric has been to go as far from the sins of  the 1980s as possible by discarding up-front requirements (instead we  have a promise for a future conversation between a developer and a  customer) and architecture (instead, we have had a succession of short- lived ideas including "metaphor" and  TDD).

Experience and recent research have both borne out the value of  architecture in software development in general, as well as its value  in sustaining high velocity and change resiliency in Agile projects. A  good Agile architecture should be able to capture the concerns not  only of the grey-haired domain experts sitting in the back room, but  should also explicitly highlight the concerns of end users -- such as  their mental model of the domain, of the roles involved in a scenario,  and of the role interactions that realize that scenario on their  behalf. While Model-View-Controller long ago solved the domain model  component of this vision, its creator Trygve Reenskaug has figured out  the rest of it now 30 years later. It's called the Data-Context- Interaction (DCI) architecture. In this talk, Agile expert Jim Coplien  will describe DCI, and other tips, for putting architecture back into  your Agile project without dragging it back into the dark ages -- and  all within the framework of the Agile Manifesto.

Behavioral Profiles in Software Engineering: Motivations, Definitions, and Applications

Ph.D. thesis manuscript by Johannes  Koskinen

Abstract

Software architecture contains, in addition to its structural part, interaction patterns that can be regarded as a part of the architectural solution of the system. The interaction patterns define architecturally significant behavior of the software system. This thesis proposes a visual modeling language, behavioral profiles, for specifying architecturally significant behavioral rules of an application. The language is built on Unified Modeling Language (UML), which is a visual language widely used in software development. In this thesis it is argued that behavioral profiles can be used to support software designers in creating behavioral models that conform to some predefined rules and for ensuring that an application behaves correctly with respect to the rules given in the profiles.

The thesis defines the behavioral profile language by using UML metamodel extensions, profiles. The thesis also discusses different solutions to construct behavioral profiles using the documentation or based on the behavior of existing applications. It outlines example application scenarios and  shows how the presented approach can be used in practice for different steps in a software engineering process. The examples cover designing an application or specializing a framework, and monitoring the program execution in run-time. Furthermore, the thesis shows how behavioral profiles can be used to support program comprehension by filtering out unnecessary information. In addition, using behavioral profiles to validate program execution by analyzing execution traces is discussed.

The thesis describes a set of tools for behavioral profiles. With the tool support, the behavioral profile language can be integrated with an existing software engineering process. To evaluate the approach and the tools in different application domains, they were utilized in various concrete cases. The size of the applications used in the cases varied from small to quite large software systems. The main contributions of the thesis are a) a behavioral profile language to express behavioral rules derived from software architecture in a generic way exceeding the level of concrete model elements, b) a tool support to ensure iii that the behavioral rules are followed in different steps of software process, and c) an evaluation of the approach in software development process using case studies.
