Seminars @ CECS

All future Software Engineering seminars will be included in the ANU College of Engineering and Computer Science seminar program.

23Jul2007: Aspect-Oriented Thinking

Shayne Flint

16:00 - 17:00, Monday 23 July 2007, CSIT Seminar Roon, N101

Abstract

Large systems engineering projects are dynamically complex socio-technical environments of co-evolving technologies, processes, people, organisations, laws, politics and other concerns. Aspect-Oriented Thinking (AOT) is a multidisciplinary process of learning and change which involves the modeling and assembly of reusable knowledge to specify, develop, operate and retire systems within such environments. In the first instance, these systems include the models and simulations required to learn about a given environment and to make decisions regarding necessary improvements. Later, the same approach is used to develop the hardware, software, process, legal and other systems required to implement and evaluate the impact of these decisions. By encouraging the use of AOT across a set of related projects, systems-of-systems might emerge with desirable properties including effective interoperability, ongoing alignment with stakeholder needs and an ability to rapidly reconfigure and form new systems-of-systems from existing components.

This talk will provide an introduction to AOT as well as an overview of current projects aimed at evaluating the approach, available tool support and opportunities for future work.
