TRAFFIC, Flat Hunt

The Inverted Curriculum is based on the reuse of existing software and information hiding. It relies on the assumption that the most effective way to learn how to program well is by exposure to a big chunk of high-quality software. For the course Introduction to Programming at ETH Zurich, Traffic and Flat hunt are used as software framework. Traffic is a library that allows modeling a city's public transportation system. Flat hunt is a strategy game in the spirit of "Scotland Yard" and uses Traffic.

AutoTest

AutoTest implements a fully automatic testing process. The information that contracts provide can be used to determine whether the software performs according to its specification. By checking that the software respects its contracts, we can ascertain its validity. Therefore, contracts provide the basis for automation of the testing process.

SCOOPLI

Library implementation of the SCOOP model for object-oriented concurrency.
SCOOP (Simple Concurrent Object-Oriented Programming) is a concurrency model based on the principles of Design by Contract. The model takes advantage of the inherent concurrency implicit in object-oriented programming to provide programmers with a simple extension enabling them to produce parallel applications with little more effort than sequential ones. The implementation relies on the multithreading library EiffelThread. It runs on native Windows and .NET 1.1.

Event-Library

The Event Library is a simple library for event-driven programming. The Event library and the sample application were developed and tested with ISE EiffelStudio graphical development environment under Microsoft Windows XP. But as the Event Library is portable, it can be used on any platform supported by EiffelStudio.

A paper with the title "Event Library: an object-oriented library for event-driven design", describing the use of the event library with an example, can be found at http://se.inf.ethz.ch/publications or http://se.inf.ethz.ch/people/arslan

Graph Library

EiffelBase is intended to be a general, high-quality library covering the basic needs of everyday programming. It offers data structures to organize data and algorithms which can be applied to those data structures. The library design dates back to 1985 in its first form; that it has stood the test of time and is still used in so many new applications is testimony to its solidity. These classes extend EiffelBase in a number of areas not yet covered: graphs, topological sort and B trees.

"Contract Wizard II"

• Purpose: Adding contracts to .NET components a posteriori
• Type: Stand-alone application
• Download: dominik_wotruba_contract_wizard.zip
• Description: Contract Wizard II is part of a general effort of improving existing components by adding contracts a posteriori. An analysis of the .NET Collections library has shown the presence of implicit contracts, which legitimates the development of a Contract Wizard. A first version of this tool has been developed in 2001 with a beta version of .NET. It takes advantage of the .NET Metadata and Reflection techniques to enable a user to add contracts to an already compiled module coming from a language without support for Design by Contract, such as C# or Java. The goal of this project was to update the wizard with the latest version of .NET and to add new functionalities.

"CIL Parser for Automatic Contract Extraction"

• Purpose: CIL Parser for Automatic Contract Extraction
• Type: Non-compiler tool
• Download: christof_marti_cil_parser.zip
• Description: Part of a general effort of improving existing components by adding contracts a posteriori (see draft paper about closet contracts in .NET libraries). The analysis of the .NET collections library has shown that routine preconditions tend to be expressed through exception cases. Since exception cases are not kept into the metadata of .NET assemblies, the idea is to develop a parser for the CIL (Common Intermediate Language) to extract the exception cases and infer the corresponding contracts. The CIL parser was developed with Gobo Eiffel Lex and Gobo Eiffel Yacc.

"scoop2scoopli"

• Purpose: Translation of SCOOP programs into Eiffel
• Type: Pre-processor
• Download: scoop2scoopli.zip
• Description: scoop2scoopli is a pre-processor and a type checker for SCOOP programs. It translates SCOOP programs into standard Eiffel. The generated system can be compiled with the ISE Eiffel compiler 5.5 or newer. scoop2scoopli is a command-line tool. scoop2scoopli performs lexical, syntactical, and semantic analysis of the source code. In fact, it performs a full compilation of your SCOOP system except for the generation of final code in C or IL. Instead, it generates standard Eiffel code that needs to be compiled with ISE Eiffel compiler. The latter is only used as a back-end, i.e. it should not report any compilation errors.
