Examples of Paradigm Shifts in Software engineering: Our Research Experience

by Prof. Dr. Ir. Mehmet Aksit, TOBB ETÜ and University of Twente

Presented on October 14. The talk discusses the following topics:

importance of problem identification; paradigms and a way to understand the need for a paradigm shift (features = problems; lack of expression power; anomaly); Cases: OO programming and beyond (inherent OO problems, problems related to the object-oriented paradigm, proposals for aspect-oriented programming, decline of aspect-oriented programming, and dealing with emergent behavior); from languages to models (composition vs transformation, language engineering vs model-driven engineering, composition vs transformation, user-defined composition operators in extensible languages, constructability concerns: abstractness constraint and standardization constraint, and modeling challenges); problem-domain to solution-domain driven design (problems of use-case driven designs, challenges of design and hermeneutics development); and smart cities and beyond (problems in current smart-city systems, integration and interoperability challenges, generalization of smart-cities to digital management, importance of adopting ecosystems architecture for digital management).
