Design and execution qualities in the 101companies project


I am visiting the Generative Software Development Lab in Waterloo.

Specifically, I am visiting and working with Krzysztof Czarnecki, Zinovy Diskin, and Thiago Tonelli Bartolomei.

Today, I was giving a lecture on 101companies and because it was part of Kryysztof's advanced software architecture / quality class, I focused on 101companies' execution and design qualities. This is an area of 101companies, like so many others, which are still under development. Hence, I closed my lecture with a kind request, which I also open up to others:

Request for help: Submit software quality-related feature proposals for 101companies. Each proposal should contain information like the following: a "headline" (<= 66 characters), a "description" (What's is it? How does it make sense for 101companies' HRMS?). Send your requests to gatekeepers@101companies.org. Do you have an implementation handy?


Regards,
Ralf

Title: Design and execution qualities in the 101companies project

Abstract:


101companies (101companies.org) is a community project in computer science (or software science) with the objective of developing a free, structured, online knowledge resource including an open-source repository for different stakeholders with interests in software technologies, software languages, and technological spaces; notably: teachers and learners in software engineering or software languages as well as software developers, software technologists, and ontologists.

In this lecture, design and execution qualities with coverage by 101companies are discussed. The corresponding list of qualities is by no means complete; instead, it is driven by a more technology-centric point of view: certain popular technologies were to be covered and some emphasis was placed on the notion of technological spaces. Nevertheless or perhaps specifically as a result of such an approach, an original corpus of illustration for software qualities with semantically enriched, structured content is now available.

The audience is strongly encouraged to engage with the lecturer and the community project during and after the lecture. It is clear that 101companies can benefit from informed proposals and contributions on software qualities specifically.

SWI-Prolog's Java Interface JPL

I would like to mix Java and Prolog code on a number of occasions. Together with a student of mine (Joachim Pehl), we just convinced ourselves that the JPL library of SWI-Prolog is really cool. Basically JPL allows you to call Prolog from Java and Java from Prolog. But the question is, of course, how easy is it and can you easily go back and forth . For instance, can we call Prolog from Java and call back Java from Prolog and share Java state throughout? Sure it works! PROLOG PORTION FOLLOWS % This library is all we need to call Java from Prolog :- ensure_loaded(library(jpl)). main :- % Create an object jpl_new(class([],['Test']), [], X), % Printing objects is like printing object ids write(X),nl, % Access a field of the object; happens to be static jpl_get(X, state, Y), % Prints whatever the state's value is write(Y),nl. JAVA PORTION FOLLOWS // This jar is all we need to call Prolog from Java import jpl.*; public class Test { public static int state = 0;

Software Engineering Teaching Meets LLMs

Software Engineering Teaching Meets LLMs Context: On 2023-05-26 I attended the  VERSEN  event  SEN Classrooms (26 May 2023) . (What is VERSEN? I quote from the VERSEN website: VERSEN is " the Dutch National Association for Software Engineering. Its mission is to bring together researchers, educators and practitioners in the field of software engineering ") (I haven't been in Utrecht in a while. It was great to be back. I love the campus and the science park.) My keynote presentation had the title " Software Engineering Career Planning in the Age of AGI+/- ". My slides are available here: [ .pdf ] Loads of relevant content is linked on those slides, but there is probably not much ROI from the slides alone. I want to call out though my DOs and the DON'Ts for teaching adaptation in software engineering. SE Teaching Adaptation — DON’Ts   Don’t ban the use of AI. Don’t ignore the new role of AI. Don’t grade homework likely done by LLM. Don’t aim at outsmarting th

Lecture series on advanced (functional) programming concepts

[ Added 10 Aug 2010: Here is the link to the first lecture's video: " The Expression Problem ". ] If you are a programming nerd or something of a similar species, you may know of C9 Lectures at http://channel9.msdn.com/tags/C9+Lectures . Several of the lectures are given by Erik Meijer who has turned many chapters of Graham Hutton 's book " Programming in Haskell " into videos. In my recent, recorded lecture on " Programming Paradigms and Formal Semantics ", I also incorporated Graham's text, but you should really watch Erik's lectures, if you haven't---they are more fun. I am inspired by his ability to present relatively simple content in such a crisp, insightful, and enjoyable manner. In the aforementioned lecture, I covered all kinds of "crazy stuff" though, and in the end, I had to deliver body bags to my Bachelor students---in the form of a radically simple examination. Thanks a lot btw to @grammarware for helping with t
