From Eclipse to Jazz
Erich Gamma, IBM Rational
Software Zurich Lab
The development of the
Eclipse platform can be described
as a journey from
closed to open transparent
development. Throughout this journey the
team has continuously tuned our development
practices and processes with the goal of achieving
the ongoing health of the project. Being
toolsmiths ourselves, we have naturally been
exploring how tools can help teams apply these
practices to improve and maintain healthy projects.
The result of this exploration is „Jazz“, a new
team collaboration platform. In this keynote, Erich
reflects on the entire journey and shows a
snapshot of the early work on Jazz and its evolving
architecture.
Erich is a Distinguished Engineer at IBM Rational
Software’s Zurich lab. He is one of the leaders of
the Jazz project and a member of the Jazz PMC.
He was the original lead of the Eclipse’s Java development
environment (JDT) and is on the Project
Management Committee for the Eclipse project.
Erich is also a member of the Gang of Four, which
is known for its classic book, Design Patterns – Elements
of Reusable Object-Oriented Software. Erich
has collaborated with Kent Beck on developing
JUnit, the de facto standard testing tool for Java,
and on writing the book Contributing to Eclipse:
Principles, Patterns, and Plug-ins.

Composing with Style –
Components and Services
meet Architecture
Clemens Szyperski, Microsoft
Research
Software components held
and hold a big promise. Yet, it seems, that much
software is build without drawing on composition
principles. Now we bet on services, which
we assert will compose better. In reality, service
composition is better that component composition
in some and worse in other ways. For one, it
seems that composability itself may be the least
composable term in the theory of computer science.
In this talk, I explore some of the troubling
reasons why we have succeeded only so-so
when it comes to the creation of composable
software – whether software components or
software services. Software architecture can often
come to the rescue, but only when applied
with great style.
Clemens Szyperski joined Microsoft Research as a
Software Architect in 1999. His team moved into a
product incubation phase in 2001 and began production
development in early 2003. A first product
developed in an entirely new way has been released
together with the new 2007 Office System.
Since late 2005 he is now working on driving novel
platform technology in Microsoft‘s new Connected
Systems Division.
His focus is on the end-to-end issues of leveraging
component software to effectively build new kinds
of software. He maintains an affiliation with Microsoft
Research and continues his general activities
in the wider research arena. His Jolt-award-winning
book Component Software (Addison Wesley)
appeared in a fully revised and extended second
