Class synthesis from role collaborations
Pages 49 - 56
Abstract
In this paper, we advocate a use case based methodology for development of object oriented systems which give primacy to roles instead of class. We present an algorithm to synthesize partial collaborations between roles to obtain classes and interaction between them. It realizes temporal relations between roles by defining anonymous roles and its collaboration with other roles. During synthesis, the algorithm checks for the correctness of the partial collaborations with respect to contracts for events, and of synthesized collaboration with respect to pre, post and invariant conditions of the use case. A prototype tool has been implemented using AspectJ and GROOVE simulator to test the feasibility of the methodology

The role concept has attracted a lot of attention as a construct for facilitating and analysing interactions in the context of computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL). So far much of this research has been carried out in isolation and the focus ...

CSCW '00: Proceedings of the 2000 ACM conference on Computer supported cooperative workIn this paper, we describe our experience with the long-term, widespread use of CoWeb, an asynchronous collaborative tool that is mostly used to complement existing face-to-face groups (such as classes). The CoWeb is an openended tool that does not ...
