Group Work 3: Presentations


17:00-18:00Group Reading for Group Work 2


Assessment: Group Work 1

• AspectJ Evaluation– (Tuesday 11:00-13:00): 6%– You will be divided into two groups (see web

site)


• 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


• 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


• 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
