   Dear colleagues,

   This week we have a reverse engineering topic on the PEM. Gert Florijn
   will present a tool developed by SERC.

               RevJava - a Review Assistant for Java Software

   Date:    16.05.02
   Time:    10:00
   Venue:   M279
   Speaker: Gert Florijn
   Title:   RevJava  - a Review Assistant for Java Software

   RevJava  is  a  tool  aimed  at assisting reviewers of object-oriented
   (Java)  programs.  It is a result of (ongoing) experiments to organize
   and  apply  insights about good OO design. RevJava loads compiled Java
   software  (class  files),  does  some  simple static type analysis and
   records  the  derived  program  structure  and  (type) relations in an
   in-memory  repository.  This  data  is  then  used, amongst others, to
   calculate  metrics  and  find  criticisms: violations of "good design"
   rules  or  of  design  conventions  specific  for an organization or a
   project. One interesting aspects of RevJava is that it can be extended
   fairly  easily  with new (organization or system specific) metrics and
   critics.  In this talk we will discuss the origins of RevJava and give
   an overview of its design. We will also discuss some of the critics it
   currently supports and the way in which critics can be added. Finally,
   we address some of the ideas for the future.

   Have a nice day.

   The  programming environment meetings are a forum for the presentation
   and  discussion  of  new  ideas,  ongoing and finished work. A typical
   meeting  addresses  a subject in the area of programming environments,
   program  generation, algebraic specification, term rewriting, parsing,
   etc.  A presentation ideally takes between 45 and 90 minutes. Meetings
   taking  longer  than 45 minutes are interrupted by a coffeebreak. Most
   Thursdays,  a  meeting is held which starts at 10:00 am. in one of the
   rooms at CWI/WINS. Exceptionally, dates or times may change.

   The    program    of    the    meetings    is    available   on   WWW:
