Finer Grained Evolving Plan

Implementation

We plan to make much of the software we develop executable through 
the Web. (e.g. Java applets)

Demeter/Java

 See also: 
Demeter/Java (coming attraction)
  will support both class graphs and the class diagrams
  of the Unified Modeling Language
  http://www.rational.com/ot/uml/faq.html

  Compiler (Doug)
    generates Java class definitions
    partially evaluates adaptive programs for a
    given class graph or diagram
  Class library (Doug)
    Reuses predefined Java classes
  GUI (Kedar)
    Our plan is to use an approach as in Java Workshop
    http://www.sun.com/developer-products/java/tnb
    
    For class graphs:
    1. phase:
    construction vertices and edges only: by July 15.
    2. phase
    add alternation and repetition vertices and edges: by August 15.
    3. phase
    finished program ready on the net by September 15.

    The texual cds produced by the program will be used as input
    to Demeter/Java.

    Plan:

    >Start with the design at URL:

    >
    >and translate it to Java.

Technology Exploration

Unified Modeling Language

Evolution Support
  How do changes in one aspect influence other aspects?
  Which change propagations can be automated?
  Expand on PHD thesis by Huersch and Seiter.

  Seiter also explores evolution of test sets.

Aspects for Distribution (Boaz Patt-Shamir, Crista Lopes)

Foundations for Adaptive Programming (Mitch Wand)
