DCS SEMINAR SERIES
Aspect-Oriented Thinking, Shayne Flint (DCS, ANU)
DATE: 2007-07-23
TIME: 16:00:00 - 17:00:00
LOCATION: CSIT Seminar Room, N101, ANU, Canberra
<http://cecs.anu.edu.au/seminars/showone.pl?SID=476>
ABSTRACT: Large systems engineering projects are dynamically complex
socio-technical environments of co-evolving technologies, processes,
people, organisations, laws, politics and other concerns.
Aspect-Oriented Thinking (AOT) is a multidisciplinary process of
learning and change which involves the modeling and assembly of
reusable knowledge to specify, develop, operate and retire systems
within such environments. In the first instance, these systems
include the models and simulations required to learn about a given
environment and to make decisions regarding necessary improvements.
Later, the same approach is used to develop the hardware, software,
process, legal and other systems required to implement and evaluate
the impact of these decisions. By encouraging the use of AOT across a
set of related projects, systems-of-systems might emerge with
desirable properties including effective interoperability, ongoing
alignment with stakeholder needs and an ability to rapidly
reconfigure and form new systems-of-systems from existing components.
This talk will provide an introduction to AOT as well as an overview
of current projects aimed at evaluating the approach, available tool
support and opportunities for future work.
BIO: Shayne Flint started his career as an RAAF communications
engineering officer. He moved into the embedded real-time software
domain more than 20 years ago and since then has worked in various
development, research, consulting and management roles. He received
his PhD from the ANU where he is a Senior Lecturer involved in
software/systems engineering education and research.
