Events Rensselaer at Hartford’s Computer Science Seminar Series Presents: “Recombinant Programming, a Brief Introduction”EVENT: Houman Younessi, Ph.D., Professor, Department of Engineering and Science, Rensselaer, will present a seminar titled, “Recombinant Programming, a Brief Introduction.” The presentation is part of Rensselaer at Hartford’s Computer Science Seminar Series. DATE: Friday, December 10, 2004 TIME: 6 p.m. LOCATION: Seminar Hall, Rensselaer at Hartford, 275 Windsor Street, Hartford ADMISSION: FREE! Open to the public. All are welcome to attend. TOPIC DISCUSSION: This presentation provides a glimpse into the new paradigm of Recombinant Programming. Recombinant programming can be viewed as abstraction and generalization into a programming model of the recombinant DNA technology (rDNA): the process used by biologists for the encoding of new properties into an organism’s existing DNA. The novelty of our approach is that (similar to the rDNA process) it separates the program into two layers of computation: the recombination and the interpretation layers. The recombination layer allows the programmer to recombine program or structural sequences through the definition of cohesive code units called extensions. The output of such recombination is a graph that can be used by the interpretation layer in many different ways, depending on the context; including compilation into a run-time program. Higher process flexibility, effectiveness and visibility, and greater product reliability, verifiability, and efficiency are some of the consequences of taking such an approach. ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Professor Younessi’s (www.ewp.rpi.edu/hartford/~houman/) areas of expertise include: object and component technology, Aspect Orientation and Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP), software (development) process, defect management and software engineering empirical research. His research interests include software engineering and programming models. Dr. Younessi is the author of three books and over 50 research articles and is internationally recognized for his work in software engineering.
