 =DEMO ALGORITHMS DATA XML TOOL UML1.4 MDA PIM-to-PSM PERFORMANCE Client-server CORBA 
 Shows how in Model Driven Architecture(MDA) a Platform independent model (PIM) of a system can be changed into a Platform Specific Model (PSM) that allows estimates of performance to be made.  
 Uses UML Profile for Performance Analysis, Deployment diagrams, collaborations, and activity diagrams.

 The Impact of institutional forces on software metrics programs

 =SURVEY STATISTICS METRICS PROCESS MANAGEMENT CUSTOMERS RIVALS 
 Applies Cooper and Zmud's innovation diffusion model(1990) :
 innovation_diffusion ::= initiation; adoption; adaption; acceptance; routinization; infusion.
 Adaption is when the the normal processes are being changed to fit the innovation.
 Management, Customers, and rivals all influence whether a metrics program make it into/through adaption.

 Comparing High-change modules and modules with the highest measurement values in two large-scale Open-Source Products
 IEEE Trans Software Engineering  V31n8(Aug 2005)pp625-642 
 =EXPERIENCE MINING OPEN SOURCE  Mozilla OpenOffice EVOLUTION MODULES METRICS size cohesion coupling inheritance
 Modules that have the most changes are not those with the worst metrics!
 High change modules were not quite the highest.
 Used Tree based models to correlate metrics and changeability.
 Anecdotal: tough problems have highest measures but get the best programmers.
 Open source projects are a good source of software engineering data.
 Appendix describes the processes in Mozilla and OpenOffice.

 Lazy Types: Automating Dynamic Strategy Selection
 IEEE Software Magazine V22n5(Sep/Oct 2005)pp98-106
 =DEMO TECHNICAL POLYMORPHIC TYPES C# .NET
 Lazy types have a common interface plus varying attributes and strategies for handling the interface depending on what attributes are available.
 Objects gain and loose attributes as the program executes, the methods adapt auto-magically to what attributes are present.

 Uses hidden factory pattern and strategy pattern.
