Contacting the Lecturers… • Prof. Awais Rashidemail: marash@comp.lancs.ac.uk • InfoLab 21 - Room: C41 • Dr. Steffen Zschaler email: zschaler@comp.lancs.ac.uk • InfoLab 21 - Room: C30
Other Course Lecturers and Lab Supervisors • Guest Lecture: Dr. Phil Greenwood • Lab co-ordinator Mr. Syed Asad Ali Naqvi
Preliminaries • Course Website • http://info.comp.lancs.ac.uk/msc/AOSDmsc/index.htm • Who’s who - introduction to the group • Name • Your background • Which degree? Institution? • Experience with Java • Academic course? Real software projects? • Why have you registered for this module? • Special interest in a specific AOSD topic?
Assessment: Group Work 1 • AspectJ Evaluation • (Tuesday 11:00-13:00): 6% • You will be divided into two groups (see web site)
Assessment: Group Work 2 • Debate on the role of obliviousness in AOSD (Group debate: three groups, see web site): 8% • All members of a group are expected to speak • 30 minutes presentation for each group • Group 1 should take a balanced position i.e. obliviousness is useful in some cases and harmful in others • Group 2 should take a pro position i.e. obliviousness is good • Group 3 should take an opponent position i.e. obliviousness is bad
Assessment: Group Work 3 • Comparing other AOP techniques with AspectJ (Group presnetation: three groups, see web site): 8% • All members of a group are expected to speak • 30 minutes presentation for each group • Each group should compare the technique they read about with AspectJ • Compare strengths and shortcomings
Assessment: Group Work 4 • AO analysis and design exercise: 8%
Assessment: Individual Work • Individual Project (Handed in 12:00 noon 20 April 2009): 70% • criteria: • design creativity • elegant use of AOP mechanisms • code complexity • design documentation and rationale
Groups • Group 1 • Fisher, Matthew • Gray, Matthew • Parsons, Colin • Group 2 • Gall, Martin • Molineux, Andrew • Potts, Matt • Group 3 • Gerrard-Longworth, Simon • Ndou, Goodchild • Smith, James • Group 1 • Fisher, Matthew • Gall, Martin • Gerrard-Longworth, Simon • Gray, Matthew • Group 2 • Molineux, Andrew • Ndou, Goodchild • Parsons, Colin • Potts, Matt • Smith, James
Learning Outcomes At the end of the course, you will have: • an understanding of the challenges faced when handling crosscutting concerns during software development; • knowledge of state-of-the-art in AOSD rooted in case studies and applications; • practical experience of developing software using AOSD tools and techniques.
What is expected from… • … YOU: • give your best in the hands-on exercises today • interact with us when a concept wasn’t clear • share and contribute to the group with your thoughts • take this course seriously • commit to the deadlines • reflect critically about the benefits and drawbacks of AOSD
