The industrial context is based on building, using, and selling a complete workflow environment including tools for modeling, analysing, and executing workflows. This environiiient called LEU (LION Environment) is used in various industrial sectors like real estate, software process, and insurance. It has been built by especially exploiting available software process tcchnology and adapting thc tcchnology to other business contexts. LION is a 400 person software house.

It is critical to a wide range of applications, either because they require greater computational resources (CPU cycles or memory accesses) than are feasible on a sequential computer, or because they are naturally distributed. Thus, parallel and distributed computing i s central to a range of areas fi-om high performance scientific computing to industrial process control. More recently, the growth of internet and intranet (wide area enterprise integration) has given new impetus to research and development in this field. The problem of developing and maintaining software is widely recognized as the central problem of parallel and distributed computing. Many areas of Computer Science, such as programming languages, concurrency theory, and algorithms, are now dominated by research in parallel and distributed computing. Developments in industry, such as programming languages for remote execution and distributed object architectures, have also underscored the central role of P&D systems. Researchers in software engineering for P&D systems have traditionally been quite fi-agmented. The goal of the Workshops on Software Engineering for Parallel and Distributed Systems (PDSE) is to bring together researchers working on formal methods, testing, tools, design methodologies, coordination architectures and other issues. Conferences and workshops in related areas such as the Workshop on Distributed Debugging, the Conference on Formal Methods for Open Object Oriented Distributed Systems, and the Symposium on Principles and Practices of Parallel Programming, have provided useful forums that although relevant, are either more narrowly focused or t too diffuse for software engineering researchers.

The intended tutorial participants are experienced object-oriented programmers and analysts who want to improve the adaptability of their models and programs. The design patterns described by Gamma, Helm, Johnson, and Vlissides [l] in 1994 ensure that a certain system aspect can vary over time. In this tutorial we help the participant recognize an underlying principle common to many existing design patterns, namely the ability to allow the implementation of an object or class to vary dynamically. We present a key concept in supporting dynamic evolution: the context class. At the design level we present a simple extension to the Unified Modeling Language [a] for describing context classes. At the implementation level we demonstrate how to develop Java [3] programs using context objects. We demonstrate how context objects can be used to easily model and program patterns such as the Adapter, Bridge, Chain of Responsibility, Decorator, Iterator, Observer, State, Strategy, and Visitor. Tutorial Content We present techniques for achieving dynamic behavior in a static, class-based model and language. We focus on two forms of behavior evolution: 1. Dynamically altering the structure and behavior of a single object. 2. Dynamically altering the structure and behavior of a class (affecting all class instances) during the execution of some task.

The Visitor pattern is used to specify operations to perform during composite-object traversal [l]. A visitor allows behavior to be added to a composite structure, without changing the existing composite class definitions. Visitors reduce the number of operations directly embedded within a class, thus preventing class definitions from becoming cluttered. Visitors group related operations performed on multiple classes (which need not be related through inheritance) together into one program component, supporting a task-based style of programming. Various techniques have been proposed for implementing visitors. However, static, class-based languages like C++ and Java do not have direct support for allowing the implementation of a class instance to vary dynamically. To enable the direct expression of visitor objects and to express tr","PeriodicalId":127923,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the (19th) International Conference on Software Engineering","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133101939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
