--- Syllabus Winter 2001}

\centerline{Professor Karl. J. Lieberherr}

The syllabus is subject to change based on class reaction.

\begin{verbatim}
http://www.ccs.neu.edu/research/demeter/course/topics-covered/topics-covered
\end{verbatim} 
contains a good overview of computer science topics covered in this course.
Six of nine important areas are touched. Three fundamental
computer science processes are touched: theory, abstraction and design.
And 5 of 12 recurring computer science concepts are touched.

The AP book is the recommended text book: "Adaptive Object-Oriented
Software: The Demeter Method" which you can browse at:

\begin{verbatim}
http://www.ccs.neu.edu/research/demeter/biblio/dem-book.html.
\end{verbatim}


You don't have to buy the book; instead you can print selected chapters
on your home printer and other chapters you can just browse on-line.

This course provides state-of-the-art techniques 
and concepts
for
object-oriented software design and development with a focus
on aspect-oriented techniques
\begin{verbatim} 
http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/lieber/AOP.html.
\end{verbatim} 
You learn the Demeter Method for object-oriented
software development which will hopefully make you at least 4 times as
productive as a Java software developer compared to software development
without the method. In the first few weeks
you learn the method which you apply in the remaining weeks to 
your project. The project will be done in groups.

Assume that you could do your project in 200 hours of
Java programming without using a good method. Instead 
of working hard, we will work smart. We will spend 50
hours on learning the Demeter Method and then you spend 50 hours
on doing your project in Java using the Demeter Method.
Since you will be at least 4 times
as productive, you will still finish your 200 hour project in
50 hours only. Instead of spending 200 hours on the course, which
would be excessive, you can accomplish the same in a total of
100 hours AND learn very useful object-oriented technology.

Designing and programming will be done in a structure-shy, grammar-based,
object-oriented style. All assignments and the project will
be written directly or indirectly in Java.

This course does not have Java as a prerequisite, however you
are expected to learn a small subset of Java from the recommended text book
or from another good Java book of your choice.

The lectures gradually introduce you to programming adaptively.
First we program adaptively in pure Java using the DJ library.
Hw 1 and hw 2 exercise this knowledge.
In later homeworks and the project we use a small extension
to Java to write our adaptive programs as
behavior files.
Structure will be defined by class dictionaries similar to XML schemas.
Behavior files allow us in many cases to keep information about
one concern in one file. The code will be spread automatically
into multiple Java classes.
