%\section{Adaptive Object-Oriented Software Development:
--- Syllabus Fall 2003}

\centerline{Professor Karl. J. Lieberherr}
\centerline{Course home page:}
\centerline{http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/lieber/courses/csg260/f03/f03.html}

The syllabus is subject to change based on class reaction and projects selected
by the students. 

The Generative Programming book (GP book) is required (see course home page).

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.

This course provides state-of-the-art techniques and concepts for
advanced software development.

In this incarnation of the course "advanced" means "aspect-oriented".
\begin{verbatim} 
aosd.net
and
http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/lieber/AOP.html.
\end{verbatim} 
You learn the foundations of aspect-oriented software development (AOSD)
in a practical context.
You learn about generative programming in general and 
aspect-oriented and adaptive programming in particular.

In the first few weeks you learn AOSD (using AspectJ and DJ) and
the Demeter method which you apply in the remaining weeks to 
your project. The project will be done in groups.

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 AspectJ, a small extension to Java.

This course does not have Java or AspectJ as a prerequisite, however you
are expected to learn a small subset of Java and
AspectJ from resources on the web or from a 
good AspectJ book of your choice.
