Subject: UML distilled

Mike Miller from IBM asks:

Quick question on NTU - SE737 : I downloaded the syllabus last week and was
reading thru that and the 1st assignment and saw references to a book
"UML", what is that?  Is it required for the class?   I ordered and
received your text but hadn't seen mention of this other book in the NTU
information.

-----

The book came out during the summer after the NTU material were printed.
I am sorry I forgot to update the NTU on-line description. We do indeed use
this thin book (<180 pages) on UML and OOD. 

``UML Distilled: Applying the Standard Object Modeling Language'',
by Martin Fowler with Kendall Scott,
Addison Wesley, 1997.

There is also a lot of UML info on the Web at the Rational website
(see hw). The UML concepts needed for hw 1 will be covered in the first class.

I ordered the book at bexpress@aw.com.

Welcome to COM 3360 - SE 737-F: 

Adaptive Object-Oriented Software Development

I am in the process of developing the class home page at URL:

http://www.ccs.neu.edu/research/demeter/course/f97/

The PowerPoint files for the first lecture are ready in

http://www.ccs.neu.edu/research/demeter/course/f97/lectures/powerpoint/

lec1.ppt                Introduction to course 
PLAP.ppt                Pattern Language for Adaptive Programming
PLAP-v4.ppt             same in PowerPoint version 4

You can use the PowerPoint files in different ways:

1. Download them before class and print them.
2. Download them onto your labtop and write on-line notes during class
     or when you view the video tape.
3. Ignore them and view them only on the video tape.

This is an all electronic course where all materials are on the WWW
reachable from the class home page. Please review the course description
and syllabus at this point.

Homework 1 will be ready on Thursday at 3pm in:

http://www.ccs.neu.edu/research/demeter/course/f97/hw/1/assign.txt

A preliminary version is there already.

FYI, the home page of the previous edition of this course is:

Reading Suggestion: A description of the Law of Demeter is in the
September 1997 issue of IEEE Computer Magazine, page 131, in Bertrand
Meyer's column. The Law of Demeter is one of the 
foundations on which this course is built.

Following popular demand, I have zipped the hw 1 directory

into a file hw1.zip in the same directory. This way NTU students can
download the information conveniently from the web without an NU account.

Will follow this approach in the future for bigger directories.

On unix use zip -r option for recursive zipping.

On PC just right click on the folder in explorer. It should give
you add to "foldername".zip option in the popup menu.
If not open winzip and create new archive. Students must have some sort
of unzipping tool on their machine. Preferrably winzip from

Since this is a live NTU class, I thought that the NU and NTU sections
could have the same due date. That seems unrealistic since some of you
still tape the lectures and view them at your convenience.

Therefore, the due date for the NTU section is one week after the due
date for the NU section.

It is time to start thinking about your project. If you have

implement using a traversal-visitor style to programming.

Below is a sample project someone proposed in class.

Yes, such a translation task is perfect for Demeter/Java or JavaCC with JJTree
or JTB (see http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/lieber/suntest.html).

It will require a good dose of traversals and visitors. Please go ahead
with your plans.

No problem; we have a team of 5 supported graduate students who have 
a lot of experience in solving such problems. :-)
Also, we like Demeter/Java to be used in mission critical applications.

In English is fine.

But it is better if they modify the Java program so that they

You need either 

1.
a machine running the latest Java software at home or work, 
with Internet access,

2.
or a terminal or machine to connect to CCS NU computers, with an account
on them.

If you have both, it is even better.

If you have only 2, you miss out on:
- using APStudio which allows you to visualize class graphs and traversals.
- you might not be able to view the PowerPoint viewgraphs.

I write adaptive programs often from home on evenings or weekends, 
using a ppp connection.
This works just fine, provided you can visualize the traversals without
the help of AP Studio. You might have to draw some sketches
of your class graphs on a piece of paper.

If you have 1., see
http://www.ccs.neu.edu/research/demeter/DemeterJava/use/
about how to get the Java Compiler Compiler and Demeter/Java.

You may turn in your hw for full credit up-to two working days late.
This means, if it is due on Thursday, you can turn it in the following Monday.
If it is due on day x, it means midnight of day x.

For late homework we will deduct 10% per day late, unless you
present a very good reason to Alexey. I am sorry for 
having such a rule, but it is better to have a clear policy with
a class of 40 students.

Alexey Laskov, the teaching assistant, will arrange for NU accounts for NTU
students.

Hi,

Prof. Lieberherr asked me to take care of creating NU accounts
if you want to have one.

I was going just to go to systems group with a list of NTU students,
but, unfortunataly. it doesn't work that way.

You have to fill out Account Request Form , sign it, send to
the Systems Group, and run account program. 
Instructions, request forms and fax number are
available on-line at

http://www.ccs.neu.edu/help/accounts.html

if you have any problems contact me(com3360-grader@ccs.neu.edu) 
 or/and systems group (systems@ccs.neu.edu).

Please submit only relevant to the particular hw assignment
files. Say,  for hw1 assignment I need only  text files answers,
some .cd, .beh files; for partD in hw1 you need to send control
messages produced by demjava and compiler (terminal output), 
NOT .class or .java files.

be carefull when running submit3360, it gathers all files in 
the current directory and its subdirectories, pack it in e-mail
message and sends to me; 
please delete all irrelevant files before running submit3360
(otherwise, the size of e-mail messages is enermous)

If you already submited the first assignment, 
you don't have to resubmit this time, just be careful next time.

Thank you,
