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.

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

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
