  1. Lightweight Process Coordination Bernhard Steffen Tiziana Margaria

  2. Edsger Dijkstra: The Humble Programmer "[The major cause of the software crisis is] that the machines have become several orders of magnitude more powerful! To put it quite bluntly: as long as there were no machines, programming was no problem at all; when we had a few weak computers, programming became a mild problem, and now we have gigantic computers, programming has become an equally gigantic problem."

  3. Sir Tony Hoare: "Software Crisis: where is it?" • "How did Software get so Reliable • without Proof?" (1996) • Defensive programming • Over engineering • Requirement verification remains • to be key.

  4. Sociological Reasons • Global Libraries • Millions of Testers • Enhanced Development Process • Better Tool Support • Lightweight Formal Methods • Typing, • Code Generation, • Model Checking, • Model-Based Testing But: No formal verification

  5. General Trend: The Action moves up Requirements Modelling Design Implementation Machine Code What How What How What How Automation What How Despite undecidability

  6. Platforms(Edward Lee) Where theAction Has Been: Giving the red platforms useful modeling properties (e.g. UML, MDA) Getting from red platforms to blue platforms. source: Edward A. Lee, UC Berkeley, 2003

  7. Component Based Design AMDD Model Library … … M1 Mn M1 Mn Compilation/Synthesis Integration as Consistency/Compatibility Component Library … C1 Cn Global Model Synthesis/Technology Mapping Integration Integration Running System Running System a chip a board CB Design vs. AMDD SoC

  8. ABC‘s AMDD Heterogeneous Service Models Component Model Library Feature Library .. … Temporal Constraints and Types SIB1 uses SIBn FLG1 FLGn .. Macro 1 Macro n Integration as Consistency/Compatibility Global SLG Compilation /Synthesis Running System

  9. Leveraging this Situation • Programming becomes Orchestration • Programs become Process Models • Verification becomes more • Requirement Validation • Property Checking and • Runtime Checking Service-Oriented Design/Computing

  10. Overview • The Java Application Building Center (jABC) • Application Scenarios • Testing: With and for the jABC • Legacy Components: Extrapolation Behavioural Models

  14. Java ABC Role Concept Component Expert • advanced programming skills • basic knowledge about backend systems • collaboration with backend specialists & application experts Application Expert • detailed knowledge of the task • no classical programming skills • Java ABC modeling skills

  15. Java ABC Component Model: SIBs • Service Independent Building Blocks (SIBs) • simple Java classes (comparable to Java Beans) • different optional abstraction layers in one class, defined through interfaces

  16. Java ABC Component Model: SIBs (2) • full Java power in all layers (e.g.: JDBC, RMI, JNI) • minimal basic implementation (SIBClass interface) • extensible & refactorable • fault-tolerant encapsulation within the model

  17. Java ABC: Big Picture

  18. Java ABC Models: SIB Graphs • composed of SIBs • hierarchical • interpretation & execution • analysis & verification • compilation

  19. Requirement Validation • Symbolic Execution & • Workflow Animation

  20. SIBs Create Newsgroup macro Hierarchical Design Macros Main Functionalities

  21. Design Validation • Local constraints • Global constraints

  22. Error Diagnosis • Violating Runs • Missed Deadlines • Wrong Parameters
