April 7, 1997

Geoff Hulten, Doug Orleans, Johan Ovlinger, Karl Lieberherr

Adaptive Programming in-the-large

We are making very good progress towards a module system for AP,
initiated by Geoff Hulten. We will fill in the rest of the seminar
on our progress.

------------
Johan Ovlinger on TAO

Johan has added traversals as objects to Demeter/Java.
You can now compute traversal strategies under program control.
The benefit: more flexibility when you need it; the price:
less efficient program execution.


Planned talks:

==================
Boaz Patt-Shamir: Traversal strategies and their compilation

Boaz will present the generalization of the compilation
algorithm which he presented earlier to forests instead of
linear lists.

===================
Lars Hansen on aspect-oriented exception handling
and around methods

Lars has added around methods to Demeter/Java as a first 
step to dealing with exceptions as an aspect.
===================

Kedar Patankar and Binoy Samuel:
AP Studio: A graphical user interface for AP

Kedar and Binoy develop a powerful GUI for AP.
