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

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.
