  1. The Herbal IDE Isaac Councill 11/05/03

  2. Overview • Protégé • An objectification of Soar – the PSCM, roughly • Merging the design and programming processes • Aspect-oriented software development • Herbal IDE architecture summary

  3. Protégé • Ontology editor – used to create object systems that describe all concepts and concept relations within a domain. • There are many plugins for protégé, including support for xml and rdf output. Protégé is a free download from http://protege.stanford.edu

  4. An Objectification of Soar • Specified using Protégé • Constructed using PSCM as base model, with augmentations deemed appropriate • Encourages top-down design and programming

  5. Merging Programming and Design

  6. Aspect-Oriented Programming • One step beyond OOP • Programmatic behaviors often do not fit naturally discrete modules (e.g. design patterns, logging, optimization levels) • AOP allows modularization of cross-cutting behaviors in object systems

  7. AOP Example Common solution to logging: public void doGet(JspImplicitObjects theObjects) throws ServletException { logger.entry("doGet(...)"); JspTestController controller = new JspTestController(); controller.handleRequest(theObjects); logger.exit("doGet"); }

  8. AOP Example (cont.) Create an aspect to objectify logging and avoid repetitive coding: public aspect AutoLog { pointcut publicMethods() : execution(public * org.apache.cactus..*(..)); pointcut logObjectCalls() : execution(* Logger.*(..)); pointcut loggableCalls() : publicMethods() && ! logObjectCalls(); before() : loggableCalls() { Logger.entry(thisJoinPoint.getSignature().toString()); } after() : loggableCalls() { Logger.exit(thisJoinPoint.getSignature().toString()); } }

  9. AOP in the Herbal IDE • Soar is difficult to program/understand/explain! • One way to slice it: The interesting parts of models aren’t just the operators they have in them, but how those operators interact with each other (aspects!) • Flexible aspect creation allows developers to specify reusable behaviors • More principled design • Better encapsulation of interesting bits • More understandable and explainable models (that’s the main point, afterall)
