Book Description
Pattern matching is a well-established concept in the functional programming community. It provides the means for concisely identifying and destructuring values of interest. This enables a clean separation of data structures and respective functionality, as well as dispatching functionality based on more than a single value. Unfortunately, expressive pattern matching facilities are seldomly incorporated in present object-oriented programming languages. We present a seamless integration of pattern matching facilities in an object-oriented and dynamically typed programming language: Newspeak. We describe language extensions to improve the practicability and integrate our additions with the existing programming environment for Newspeak. This report is based on the first author’s master’s thesis.

Book Description
It is now more than twenty-five years since object-oriented programming was “inve- ed” (actually, more than thirty years since work on Simula started), but, by all accounts, it would appear as if object-oriented technology has only been “discovered” in the past ten years! When the first European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming was held in Paris in 1987, I think it was generally assumed that Object-Oriented Progr- ming, like Structured Programming, would quickly enter the vernacular, and that a c- ference on the subject would rapidly become superfluous. On the contrary, the range and impact of object-oriented approaches and methods continues to expand, and, - spite the inevitable oversell and hype, object-oriented technology has reached a level of scientific maturity that few could have foreseen ten years ago. Object-oriented technology also cuts across scientific cultural boundaries like p- haps no other field of computer science, as object-oriented concepts can be applied to virtually all the other areas and affect virtually all aspects of the software life cycle. (So, in retrospect, emphasizing just Programming in the name of the conference was perhaps somewhat short-sighted, but at least the acronym is pronounceable and easy to rem- ber!) This year’s ECOOP attracted 146 submissions from around the world - making the selection process even tougher than usual. The selected papers range in topic from programming language and database issues to analysis and design and reuse, and from experience reports to theoretical contributions.

Book Description
The21stEuropeanConferenceonObject-OrientedProgramming,ECOOP2007, was held in Berlin, Germany, on July 30 to August 3, 2007. ECOOP is the most importantand inspiring forumin Europeandbeyond for researchers,practiti- ers, and students working in that smorgasbord of topics and approaches known as object orientation. This topic area was explored and challenged by excellent invited speakers—two of which were the winners of this year’s Dahl-Nygaard award—in the carefully refereed and selected technical papers, on posters, via demonstrations, and in tutorials. Each of the many workshops complemented this with a very interactive and dynamic treatment of more speci?c topics. - nally, panels allowed for loud and lively disagreement. Yet, it is one of ECOOP’s specialqualities that this plethora ofactivities add upto a coherentandexciting whole, rather than deteriorating into chaos. The Program Committee received 161 submissions this year. Only 135 of them were carried through the full review process, because of a number of - tractions and a number of submissions of abstracts that were never followed by a full paper. However, the remaining papers were of very high quality and we accepted25 of them for publication. Helping very goodpapers to be published is more useful than having an impressively low acceptance rate. The papers were selected according to four groups of criteria, whose priority depended on the paper: relevance; originality and signi?cance; precisionand correctness;and p- sentation and clarity. Each paper had three, four, or ?ve reviews, depending on how controversial it was.

Book Description
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th IFIP WG 6.1 International Conference on Formal Methods for Open Object-Based Distributed Systems, FMOODS 2010, and the 30th IFIP WG 6.1 Formal Techniques for Networked and Distributed Systems, FORTE 2010, held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, in June 2010. The 13 revised full papers presented together with 6 short papers and the abstract of one invited talk were carefully reviewed and selected from 38 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on formal UML modeling; components and architecture; timed process algebra; timed and hybrid automata; program logics and analysis; and reasoning about distributed systems.

Book Description
The correctness of model transformations is a crucial element for the model-driven engineering of high quality software. A prerequisite to verify model transformations at the level of the model transformation specification is that an unambiguous formal semantics exists and that the employed implementation of the model transformation language adheres to this semantics. However, for existing relational model transformation approaches it is usually not really clear under which constraints particular implementations are really conform to the formal semantics. In this paper, we will bridge this gap for the formal semantics of triple graph grammars (TGG) and an existing efficient implementation. Whereas the formal semantics assumes backtracking and ignores non-determinism, practical implementations do not support backtracking, require rule sets that ensure determinism, and include further optimizations. Therefore, we capture how the considered TGG implementation realizes the transformation by means of operational rules, define required criteria and show conformance to the formal semantics if these criteria are fulfilled. We further outline how static analysis can be employed to guarantee these criteria.

Book Description
Roughly every third Wikipedia article contains an infobox - a table that displays important facts about the subject in attribute-value form. The schema of an infobox, i.e., the attributes that can be expressed for a concept, is defined by an infobox template. Often, authors do not specify all template attributes, resulting in incomplete infoboxes. With iPopulator, we introduce a system that automatically populates infoboxes of Wikipedia articles by extracting attribute values from the article's text. In contrast to prior work, iPopulator detects and exploits the structure of attribute values for independently extracting value parts. We have tested iPopulator on the entire set of infobox templates and provide a detailed analysis of its effectiveness. For instance, we achieve an average extraction precision of 91% for 1,727 distinct infobox template attributes.

Book Description
In current practice, business processes modeling is done by trained method experts. Domain experts are interviewed to elicit their process information but not involved in modeling. We created a haptic toolkit for process modeling that can be used in process elicitation sessions with domain experts. We hypothesize that this leads to more effective process elicitation. This paper brakes down "effective elicitation" to 14 operationalized hypotheses. They are assessed in a controlled experiment using questionnaires, process model feedback tests and video analysis. The experiment compares our approach to structured interviews in a repeated measurement design. We executed the experiment with 17 student clerks from a trade school. They represent potential users of the tool. Six out of fourteen hypotheses showed significant difference due to the method applied. Subjects reported more fun and more insights into process modeling with tangible media. Video analysis showed significantly more reviews and corrections applied during process elicitation. Moreover, people take more time to talk and think about their processes. We conclude that tangible media creates a different working mode for people in process elicitation with fun, new insights and instant feedback on preliminary results.
