What
you didn't know about RUP and UML
You all have heard about
RUP. Some of you may know RUP very well. But do
you know that RUP is agile? Do you know that RUP
is engineered to help you manage outsourced development?
Do you know that RUP is prepared for the future
of software development, including aspect-orientation
and active software? Do you really know what RUP
is all about?
Modern software development
means object orientation, component based design,
use case driven development, and the Unified Modeling
Language (UML). These technologies are efficiently
interwoven in the Rational Unified Process (RUP).
The talk will touch upon these matters, but focus
on some key questions:
-
What makes RUP fundamentally
different from other processes.
-
What makes RUP an agile process?
How does RUP relate to XP?
-
What makes RUP prepared for
the future -aspect-oriented programming, agent-based
development, etc.?
-
Why will RUP allow you to
focus on creative tasks and to eliminate "no-brain"
work?
-
How to use RUP in organisations
whereby software development is outsourced
-
How RUP can reduce the risk
of projects failure
-
How RUP can reduce time to
market
You will learn from
a father of these technologies something you didn't
know, but you care a lot about.

Dr.
Ivar Jacobson,
Vice President of Business Engineering, is the inventor
of the OOSE method, and he is also the founder of Objectory
AB in Sweden, which merged with Rational Software Corporation
(today IBM Rational). Dr. Jacobson is the principal
author of two influential and best-selling books Object-Oriented
Software Engineering--A Use Case Driven Approach (Computer
Language Productivity award winner in 1992) and The
Object Advantage--Business Process Reengineering with
Object Technology.
|
He has also authored
several widely referenced papers on object technology. One
of the most famous papers is his first OOPSLA '87 paper entitled
"Object-Oriented Development in an Industrial Environment,"
which presented the first truly object-oriented method ever
published. Ivar Jacobson's use-case driven approach has had
a very strong impact on the entire OOAD industry, and he himself
has become one of its "icons." Consequently, he
is frequently invited keynote speaker and panelist, debating
OOAD topics with colleagues and methodologists such as Grady
Booch, Jim Rumbaugh, Steven Mellor, and Rebecca Wirfs-Brock
at major OO conferences around the world.
He is well known for
his pioneering work and more than 20 years of experience in
using object methods for the design of large real-time systems.
His early object-based design technique has evolved into the
international standard ITU (formerly CCITT)/SDL.
Dr. Jacobson also
regularly serves on the OOPSLA, ECOOP, and TOOLS program committees,
and he is a member of the advisory board of the Journal of
Object-Oriented Programming.
In 1994, Ivar Jacobson
received the first Swedish Computer Association (SCA) award
(the Kjell Hultman prize) for "extraordinary achievement
in promoting efficiency and productivity in the development
and use of information technology."

| Bridging
System Views in Software Design Software
development has matured from heuristic practice to an
engineering discipline. Nowadays software engineers
can benefit from a solid stock of basic research addressing
specification, modelling, design and implementation
techniques for sequential and concurrent systems. The
software engineer faces dif- ferent system views manifesting
themselves as data model, communication model, state
transition model or process model. Software development
must safely bridge system views on different levels
of abstraction. Against this general background, we
present a model for communicating components along with
transformations refining the component's behaviour,
interface and state. In the external view, a component
forms a black box interacting with the environment by
message passing whereas the internal view discloses
the component's state.
We understand
states as abstractions of communication histories and
present methods for systematically transforming the
component's behaviour into a statebased implementation.
We conclude with a critical assessment of applying formal
methods from academics to industrial software engineering.

Dr. Walter
Dosch is full professor at the University
of Lübeck and head of the Institute of Software Technology
and Programming Languages. His research interests
focus on the foundations of software engineering including
spe-cification, modeling and design of sequential,
concurrent and reactive systems. In the field of programming
langua-ges, his research concentrates on high-level
programming concepts for parallel and distributed
applications along with their efficient implementation.

Dr. Dosch received the Staatsexamen degree (equivalent
to MSc) in Mathematics and Physics and the Dr. rer.
nat. degree (equivalent to PhD) in Computer Science
from the Technical Uni-versity of Munich in 1975
and 1987, respectively. From 1988 to 1996 he was
Professor for Theoretical Computer Science and Artificial
Intelligence at the University of Augsburg. Du-ring
the election period 2000 to 2002, he served as Dean
of the Faculty of Technology and Sciences at the
University of Lübeck.
Dr. Dosch joined the program committees of more
than 50 international conferences, coautho-red two
books, and published over 100 papers in refereed
proceedings and journals. He served as the General
Chair and Program Chair at international conferences
in the USA, Europe and Asia, and contributed invited
plenary lectures to several conferences. He is member
of the editorial board of two journals and obtained
funds from the European Union for projects un-der
the ESPRIT and INTERREG programmes.
