Subject: Manchester Java User's Group Meeting Wed, Nov 13 on Power of Patterns at Southern New Hampshire University Date: Fri, 8 Nov 2002 07:28:13 -0500 From: "Eric Thoman" TOPIC: Power of Patterns * Pattern and Component Markup Language (PCML) - A look at standardizing the way we represent patterns, their implementation strategies, and catalogs for exchanging them from a tools perspective. * Source Code Macro Language (SCML) - Dynamic code generation is necessary for automating the use of patterns.Here we take a look at standardizing the way this is done; again, from a tools perspective. * Tool Support for Patterns - A look at what is required of enterprise tools to adequately support patterns. Here we'll show off ObjectAssembler, the first of this new breed of tools in the J2EE space. * Where Do We Go From Here? - Since this is a relatively new field, there is still much to be done.We'll take a look at what we see as the next steps and how we plan to get there.
