Title: Code Optimization in Compilers and Tools
Speaker: Robert Morgan, Senior Consulting Engineer, Digital Equipment
                        Corporation, USA,
                        and author of the book Building an Optimizing Compiler
                        published November, 1997 by Digital Press
Length: full day
Abstract: Compilers, run-time code generation systems, and tools that
                        create directly executable code use techniques for improving
                        the sequence of instructions generated. These techniques range
                        from very simple techniques, such as local value numbering, to
                        complex techniques, such as dependence-based optimizations.
                        This tutorial will give an overview of the techniques available
                        emphasizing the basic principle of each technique together with
                        examples and references to the literature for more detailed
                        study. The tutorial will emphasis the techniques that apply
                        directly to modern processors. A discussion is included on
                        which techniques can apply to run-time code generation systems
                        and on-the-fly compilation and how they can be applied.

Title: An Inside View of COM and DCOM
Speaker: Joe Newcomer, private consultant and co-author of the book
                        Win32 Programming.
Length: full day
Abstract: The Component Object Model (COM) is the underlying technology
                        of composite documents, ActiveX controls, and OLE Automation.
                        This core object technology has recently been extended to run
                        distributed on multiple heterogeneous platforms, as Distributed
                        COM (DCOM). This tutorial is an intense introduction to the key
                        ideas of COM and DCOM. The intent is that attendees will pick
                        up enough basic concepts to pursue many of the details on their
                        own.


                        Prerequisites: Although C and/or C++ experience will be an
                        advantage, the tutorial will be balanced between programming
                        and conceptual information. Non-programmers will get a sense of
                        the programming issues, while still understanding the basic
                        concepts. Experience in Windows usage will be an advantage in
                        that the user-level model will be understood. Since COM/DCOM is
                        language-independent, experience in other Windows-based
                        languages (Delphi, Visual Basic) can be useful. The course will
                        focus on the simplest uses of COM/DCOM, specifically, ActiveX
                        Controls and OLE Automation. The participant will be prepared
                        to study other COM/DCOM technologies, such as embedded
                        documents, which build on this core knowledge.


                        Outline: What is COM?; What is DCOM?; Interfaces; Globally
                        Unique IDs; The IUnknown Interface; Defining Interfaces; A
                        simple COM object; Derivation; ActiveX Controls (Overview);
                        Properties, Methods, Events; The Active Template Library (ATL);
                        OLE Automation; OLE Automation and Microsoft Foundation Classes
                        (MFC); Parameter Passing (Marshalling); RPC and LRPC; ActiveX
                        Controls (details); A Simple ActiveX Control; Using an ActiveX
                        Control.
Biography: Joseph M. Newcomer received his PhD in Computer Science from
                        Carnegie-Mellon University (CMU) in 1975, in the area of
                        compiler automation. Since then he has been on the faculty of
                        CMU, worked for a commercial compiler company, been a founding
                        scientist of the Software Engineering Institute, and since 1987
                        has been a consultant and Windows application developer. He is
                        the co-author of the recent book Win32 Programming (Rector &
                        Newcomer; Addison-Wesley, 1997) and is working on a book on NT
                        device drivers. He is also the co-author of two U.S. patents on
                        distributed information technology. His experience has covered
                        graphics, computer typesetting and document production systems,
                        operating systems, security, networking, multimedia, user
                        interfaces, debuggers, CASE tooling, and compilers. He is also
                        a co-author of the book IDL: The Language and Its
                        Implementation (Nestor, Newcomer, Giannini & Stone;
                        Prentice-Hall, 1990) which was one of the early (1980) designs
                        for heterogeneous platform objects.

                            Robert Bosch AG, Fraunhofer Gesellschaft, GMD Gesellschaft
                            f|r Mathematik und Datenverarbeitung, and the Technische
                            Universitdt Berlin. The tutorial gives an overview of the
                            overall ESPRESS methodological framework. Illustrated by one
                            of the ESPRESS case studies, an intelligent cruise control
                            system, the development of a requirements specification using
                            a combination of the Statemate languages and of Z will be
                            presented in detail. Simulation, verification, and testing
                            techniques based on this specification will be discussed.

Title: Java: a True Systems Language
Speaker: Judith Bishop, University of Pretoria and author of the book
                        Java Gently.
Length: Half day
Abstract: The Java programming language is revolutionising the world of
                        computing and is set to become the language of choice in
                        academia and research, much as it is taking over in the
                        web-based sector of industry. The aim of this tutorial is to
                        reveal the power of Java as a language. We assume that
                        attendees do not know Java, but do have some knowledge of
                        programming. We proceed to describe the language and its core
                        packages, covering object-orientation, graphical user
                        interfacing, applets, networking and threads. The approach of
                        the tutorial will be to explain by example, drawing on the
                        wealth of material in the author's recent text book Java
                        Gently, published by Addison Wesley.
Biography: She has a PhD from Southampton University, and has lecturered
                        there and at the University of the Witwatersrand, before taking
                        up her present position in 1992. Her specialities are
                        distributed systems and programming languages, which she has
                        exploited over the years by being involved in transputers and
                        occam, distributed Ada, and now Java. She is the author of over
                        50 papers and has served on numerous international boards and
                        programme committees. Professor Bishop is currently chairman of
                        IFIP WG2.4 on System Programming Languages, and is one of the
                        two most highly rated computer science researchers in South
                        Africa. She has written nine books, with her latest Java Gently
                        being a current best seller in the Addison-Wesley catalogue.
                        She is leader of the Polelo project supported under the
                        German-SA Cooperation Agreement.

Title: Enabling Software for the WWW
Speaker: Nikola Serbedzija, GMD FIRST, Berlin
Length: Half day
Abstract: The goal is to explain principles of Web-enabled systems and
                        provide basic understanding of software concepts, architectures
                        and tools needed for integrating application components into
                        Web-based distributed systems. The tutorial will address a
                        number of issues related to Web enabling technology like
                        client/server and message-passing paradigms, dynamic
                        collaboration, code migration, Javas remote method invocation,
                        CORBA and similar multi-tier middleware architectures and Javas
                        mobile agents. Each concept will be illustrated with concrete
                        examples gradually constructing a case study that shows how to
                        implement an application server with dynamic mobile clients
                        using advanced Java features and related Internet technology.
Biography: Dr Nikola Serbedzija is a senior scientist at GMD FIRST (German
                        National Research Center for Information Technology). His major
                        research interest is the design of parallel and distributed
                        systems for dedicated use in different application domains. He
                        has developed a number of distributed applications for
                        telecommunication systems, real-time embedded systems,
                        neurosimulations and web-based computing. He has published
                        numerous contributions concerning the area of his research
                        interest. The author has given a number of tutorials at
                        conferences and special seminars. He is the organizer and chair
                        of the minitrack "Web Computing: Theory and Practice" at the
                        HICSS-31 conference, January 1998. He is preparing a selection
                        of papers on "Web Computing" to appear as a special journal
                        issue.

Title: Language Design and Implementation Using Eli
Speaker: Prof. Dr. Uwe Kastens & Dr. Peter Pfahler, University of
                            Paderborn
Length: Half day
Abstract: Languages are used for a wide range of purposes in software
                            construction: e.g. specification, modeling, domain specific
                            descriptions, application generators, and programming. Hence,
                            the field of language implementation covers much more than
                            programming language compilers. There is the need to support
                            language implementors who do not have the expertise of
                            compiler specialists.


                            The Eli system provides modern compiler construction
                            facilities to users with a wide range of sophistication. It
                            offers complete solutions for commonly-encountered language
                            implementation subtasks. It contains libraries of reusable
                            specifications, making possible the production of a
                            high-quality implementation from simple problem descriptions.
                            On the base of concrete examples, this tutorial demonstrates
                            the effective use of Eli's facilities, and its strategy for
                            tool use and integration.
Biographies: Uwe Kastens is professor of computer science at the
                            University of Paderborn in Germany. His areas of research and
                            teaching are compilation methods and tools, programming
                            languages, compilation for parallelism, and attribute
                            grammars. He is co-author of the Eli system. He received his
                            doctoral degree in 1976 from the University of Karlsruhe.


                            Peter Pfahler is a member of Uwe Kastens' programming
                            languages and compilers group at the University of Paderborn
                            in Germany. Currently his main research interests are
                            compilation for parallelism and support systems for the
                            implementiation of domain-specific languages. He received his
                            doctoral degree in computer science from the University of
                            Paderborn in 1988.

Title: What Java Offers for the 21st Century
Speaker: Judith Bishop, University of Pretoria and author of the book
                        Java Gently.
Length: Half day
Abstract: Java started out as a small language and many of us would like
                        to think it is still small. While it retains its compact syntax
                        and clean object-oriented approach, Java has grown considerably
                        since the advent of Version 1.1. Two growth points are evident:
                        the extension of the class model in conjunction with the new
                        event model and the development of a vast range of APIs for
                        everthing from internationalisation to beans to databases. The
                        news from Sun is that this process is not over yet, and Java
                        1.2 could bring more goodies.
                        The question for both educators and developers (not to mention
                        authors!) is how to manage the change so as to get the most out
                        of the new features without constantly rewriting code. This
                        talk draws on our experience in teaching and research with Java
                        at the University of Pretoria and endeavours to put the
                        language changes in context, explaining them through examples.
                        The benefits of the various APIs are arranged in a hierarchy,
                        so that one can see how additional leverage can be gained when
                        a project is ready. Several guidelines for designing and
                        writing Java are given, and the tutorial rounds off by looking
                        to the future of this amazing movement.
