This new discipline has been legitimized by the significant number of
funded research projects, and conferences, journals, and other traditional and
on-line publications dedicated to the study and advancement of digital
libraries. This tutorial will attempt
to provide a broad range of information about digital libraries, including an
overview of the area, key features, example applications and research projects,
and current related work that address research challenges in the area.
About the

NJ Section PACE/SAC:
The Assault on the Careers of
American Engineers & What We Might Do About It
On
Wednesday, August 11, 2004, the North Jersey Section PACE/Student Activities
Committee will meet to discuss conditions facing our engineering
professionals. Our guest speaker will
be Dr. Stephen H. Unger.
About the Talk
The careers of engineers in the US are being devastated by a
combination of outsourcing of work to countries with very low pay scales and
the importing of engineers from such countries. This is an integral part of the process that continues to
eliminate manufacturing in the US. We
need to think about the problem in a pragmatic way and to devise practical
solutions based on reality rather than on slogans involving such terms as free
trade or protectionism.
It is suggested that you come
with the concerns that you have as they relate to your profession and those of
your colleagues.
About the
Speaker
Dr. Stephen H. Unger is a Professor of Computer Science (and of
Electrical Engineering) at Columbia University. He has published many papers and given many talks on technology
policy issues, including engineering ethics, energy, and government imposed
secrecy.
Prior to Columbia University, Dr. Unger was with the Bell
Telephone Laboratories. He was a
founder, and later President of, the Society on Social Implications of
Technology. He recently served on the
Board of Directors of the IEEE, and was a member of the IEEE US Activities
Board, Publications Board, and Educational Activities Board. He was a member of the IEEE Ethics Committee
from 1995-98, serving as chairman from 1997-98. He received the IEEE Centennial Medal (1984), the IEEE USAB
Distinguished Contributions to Engineering Professionalism Award (1987), and the
IEEE Millennium Medal (2000). Dr. Unger
is a Guggenheim Fellow, a Fellow of the IEEE and a Fellow of the AAAS. His degrees include: BEE (Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn), MS
and ScD (MIT).
All Welcome!
Guests, members and students
from other professional societies and engineering disciplines are always
welcome. We now include members from
IEEE, ASME and AEA.
Time: 6:30 to 9:00 PM, Wednesday, August
11, 2004. Free refreshments will
be served.
Place: Clifton Memorial Library, 292 Piaget Ave, Clifton, NJ, (973)
772-5500.

IEEE North Jersey Section Course
Introduction to .NET and C#
Abstract
This
is a one-day Owner's manual for the .NET environment and for its preferred
programming language, C#. It is an introduction,
intended for programmers who want to create software to operate in the .NET
environment.
Microsoft
has created .NET as its path to future software development. .NET is a complete package of developer
capabilities that runs on, and creates programs for, the recent MS Windows
operating systems. Microsoft's
programming language of choice for the future is clearly C# but they realize they have to support
evolution. So .NET also supports Visual
Basic, C++, Java and many other minor languages. But .NET is more than programming languages. It also supports: an improved ADO database technology, an improved ASP to allow high level Web development, XML to tie
together all the pieces of software, SOAP and COM+. C# is an Object-Oriented language of course. It is more powerful than VB but still allows
simple programs to be created in the VB drag-and-drop tradition. It is simpler than C++ but still allows
efficient programs with more obvious code.
Target Audience
This
is not a course in how to program computers.
It is intended to extend the capabilities of those who are already
programmers so a familiarity with foundation programming concepts will be very
helpful. But O-O programming is still
programming so the course will cover concepts, implementation and practical
aspects of using C#. The course has a
practical, “how-to-do-it” approach.
Course Topics
- What is the programming
environment today: Why did Microsoft create .NET and the new C#
programming language and where do they expect them to go.
- The .NET environment
and how its parts fit together.
Common language runtime.
Other actors in the game: XML, COM+, SOAP, ADO, ASP.
- Classes and
Objects: how to define,
instantiate, initialize and interface.
Fields and constructor and other methods, Visibility. How classes encapsulate the real world
and its characteristics.
- Major features of the
C# language: Names, data types, operators and keywords, Expressions and statements, Control
mechanisms for branching and looping,
How everything is a class, Value and reference types, Boxing.
- More on C# and
comparisons to other languages:
Inheritance and derived classes:
Use of library classes, Some special classes such as String,
Namespaces, Other object interaction.
Delegates, properties, Overloading methods, Aspects, Interfaces,
For each, Containers and enumerators.
- The .NET development
environment: Mechanics of program
creation: Compilers, emulators, jit.
Formatting, layout, debugging, and testing. Documentation and comments, O-O design,
UML, development tools.
- Building a console or
forms application: Main,
Elementary input and output, Static members. Building a Windows application: events and handlers, Use of
the mouse, the large Forms library, Commonality between console and
Internet. Examples of windows
programs. Building an internet
application.
- Summary and references:
Engineering issues. Garbage
collection. Unmanaged code. Attributes, Finalize. Threads. Ref and out. File
I/O. Efficiency and real-time.
Duration and Resources
The
course duration is six hours, contained in one very full day. A downloadable command line compiler can be
used, however the elegant visual .NET development suite is much more powerful.
Time, Date and Location
This
course is planned for the Fall 2004.
Exact time, date and location will be announced in the September

IEEE North Jersey Section Course
Object-Oriented Design
Training
Abstract
As Object-Oriented
programming has become more important, Object-Oriented design has also emerged
as a new way to conceptualize computer programs. The creation and dissemination
of the Unified Modeling Language, as a skeleton for all phases of Object-Orientation,
has aided this. This is a course in Object-Oriented design using UML. It covers
software requirements, design, application and patterns, but it is not a
programming course.
Target Audience
Software
project managers, customers, system designers and programmers who want to learn
the latest techniques of Object-Orientation using Unified Modeling Language.
Objectives
Upon
completion of this course, the student will be able to:
·
Use
"Use Cases" to capture the customer expectations for a system
·
Use
CRC cards(1) as a tool to capture the object-oriented design entities: classes,
their attributes and methods
·
Create
"Class Diagrams" to define the classes that make up the essence of
the system
·
Recognize
that a library of Patterns already describe most common situations
·
Use
Object Diagrams, Sequence Diagrams, Collaboration Diagrams and State Diagrams
to push the design beyond the class level by capturing the flow of operations
within the system
·
Show
how the definition of Contracts is the essence of detailed design and how OOD
concepts carry over naturally to C++, Java and C#.
·
Estimate
project size, cost and schedule
Course Topics

General concept of "Abstraction"
Representations of relationships within and among
classes
Other characteristics: timing, triggers, clocks and
visibility

Sequence & collaboration diagrams to capture
dependencies
Activity diagrams to capture design details
Databases, persistence and relation to
object-oriented design
How to estimate the staffing, schedule and cost of
an OOD project
Mapping OOD to C++ or Java
Special characteristics of real-time systems
Exercise on detailed design
6.
Using UML beyond design: package and other diagrams
Contracts to interface design with development
How to build testability into a design
How to gather customer data and use to improve a
system
How an Object-Oriented approach changes your
company
Introduction to Object-Oriented design tools
References
Note: If an OOD Software tool, such as Rational
Rose or Rhapsody, is available, it can be used instead of CRC cards.
Duration and Resources
The course
duration is seven hours, contained in one day.
Time, Date and Location
This
course is planned for the Fall 2004.
Exact time, date and location will be announced in the September
