F1
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.

Title: Developing Safety-Critical Embedded Systems: the ESPRESS
Approach
Speakers: Heiko Doerr1, Wolfgang Grieskamp2, Maritta Heisel2, Stefan
Jdhnichen2,4, Christian Kelling3, Thomas Santen4, & Matthias
Weber1;
(1) Daimler Benz AG, Forschung Systemtechnik, (2) Technische
Universitdt Berlin, (3) GMD FIRST, (4) FhG ISST.
Abstract: The ESPRESS project aims to develop a software technology for
the construction of safety-critical embedded systems.
Sponsored by the German ministry of education and research,
BMBF, the project is a joint venture of Daimler Benz AG,
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.
