Our Event Tip: OOPSLA 2006

Within the PESOA research project Delta and its partners have developed a process-based product line architecture. The development of process-based applications can be profoundly automated by it. The practical usability of this approach was proven by the implementation of a tool chain for the "automotive" application area. At this year's OOPSLA conference, Cord Giese, Research Analyst at Delta,  presented the PESOA concepts for the automotive area, as well as the appropriate tool chain, using a detailed case study.

GPCE co-located with OOPSLA 2006

The OOPSLA conference is one of the most important and influential international conferences for object technologies and their offshoots. This year the GPCE conference for "Generative Programming and Component Engineering" was co-located to OOPSLA. OOPSLA's wide range of topics – it comprised more than 30 this time – received an additional main focus by hosting the OOPSLA conference in parallel with the GPCE. GPCE tutorials, workshops, and lectures have been taking place during the whole OOPSLA and were dedicated to the state of the art in generative software development techniques.

Generative Programming and Component Engineering (GPCE'06)

Within the OOPSLA conference (which is especially well-known for the large number of tutorials that are available) the GPCE establishes a solid reference to the real world. Whereas many conferences tend to have a very academic nature, being filled with a lot of high-level lectures, the GPCE provides a more technical viewpoint – and is therefore aimed more at practical issue. This becomes clearer by looking at some of the workshops dedicated to key topics of Generative Programming.

Delta at OOPSLA – Code Generation in the Automotive Area

The process-based product line architecture developed in PESOA provides an enormous potential for the automation of application development. This architecture can be implemented within very different application areas. One example is the automotive area, where technical processes provide the specifications for the applications to be developed. The configuration data belonging to these processes are the input to a code generator that generates source code for the programming of various control systems. The HyperSenses tools from Delta support the implementation as well as the usage of the code generator. At the GPCE4QoS workshop Cord Giese has given a live demonstration of the end-to-end tool chain that was implemented by several project partners.

Generative Programming and Component Engineering for QoS Provisioning in Distributed Systems

GPCE4QoS

October 23, 2006
Portland, Oregon USA

 

The QoS (Quality of Service) workshop was about generative techniques for the implementation of QoS features. In the context of Delta’s automotive case study, QoS concerns two levels: The produced application and the tool chain itself. If you would like to join a discussion with us on this topic, learn more about generative techniques in the automotive area, or just get more information about the newest status of HyperSenses – then get in contact with us here.
