Advanced Topics in Object Technology
Course code: 37-250
See official
ETH page on this course
Scope
|
|
This course will explore a number of issues, both
practical and theoretical, raised by object technology, especially
when applied to large, ambitious, long-running projects.
|
|
Prerequisites
|
|
Good programming experience.
|
|
Objectives
|
|
The goal is to provide students with solid knowledge
of:
|
- Object technology principles and methods
- The practice of object-oriented analysis, design and implementation
- Some open issues
- Some recent developments
- Two specific technologies: Eiffel and .NET
Topics
|
- Quality issues
- Lifecycle
- Abstract Data Types
- Object model choices
- Design by Contract.
- Beyond Design by Contract: specification and proof issues.
- Inheritance techniques
- Design patterns
- Typing issues.
- Covariance and catcalls.
- Language design for flexible typing.
- Reconciling the object-oriented paradigm with other approaches:
functional, logic.
- High-level system structuring.
- Role of graphical formalisms.
- Seamless and reversible development.
- Specific issues of reuse-oriented development.
- Library design principles.
- Concurrent object-oriented development: issues, constraints,
existing proposals, implementations.
- Concurrency variants: multi-threading, distribution.
- Object-oriented project management.
