My name is Dr Darren Kelly. I specialise in applying model-based systems engineering and software engineering to tasks in information technology, industry, engineering and science. I am an advocate for the combination of graphical Unified Modeling Language (UML) with object-oriented software engineering languages such as Java and C++ and data languages like XML/XML Schema, as well as graphical systems analysis with Systems Modeling Language (SysML), where possible in combination with executable systems. History: I was originally trained in computational physics and mathematics, and I have applied scientific computing techniques to analysis, modelling, simulation and control of many complex systems including: astrophysical systems such as supernovae; scientific instruments such as radio telescopes, particle accelerators and neutron beam instruments; control systems for scientific instruments; nuclear physics; scientific data analysis; biological population dynamics; secure internet architectures and middleware; data analysis and meta-modelling; cognitive science, semantic networks, and linguistics; building modelling. I have programmed computers since I was a young teenager. I have used many low-level historical languages and command many modern object-oriented, patch-based, and symbolic computer languages. After applying computer programming to tasks in science from 1988-1999, I developed an interest in web and internet technologies, next-generation computer languages, software engineering methodologies, and web standards - in part through my exposure from 1994-1998 to early web browsers and web technologies at the Deutsches-Elektronen Synchrotron (DESY) particle accelerator institute in Hamburg, Germany, a sibling institute to the CERN particle physics institute, the “home” of the World Wide Web (WWW). At DESY I was also introduced to object-oriented software engineering with C++ and to the graphical engineering technologies and specifications of the Object Management Group (OMG) such as UML. In 2000, I established Webel IT Australia as a Scientific IT Consultancy promoting applications of modern IT to tasks in industry, engineering, commerce, science, and education. My primary object-oriented language is currently Enterprise Java (a.k.a. Jakarta EE) and I also work extensively with: XML Schema for data modelling; C++ for real-time embedded synthesis applications; and with object-oriented PHP, JavaScript, and the CSS and SASS stylesheet languages for web development (in combination with Drupal CMS). I am a graphical UML “evangelist” and have used UML together with many other software engineering technologies and for modelling web architectures and enterprise systems. As a consultant to No Magic Inc. - developers of the popular Java-based MagicDraw UML development tool - I advised industry partners and engineering customers on the use of graphical UML for software engineering, and I headed re-development of the SysML Plugin product for MagicDraw UML. I am likewise an advocate for the use of reusable Design Patterns for software engineering and architecture described in graphical UML. I am an expert in applying UML to model-based requirements analysis, systems analysis, component design, domain and data modelling, code re-factoring, and to migration of Java and XML software systems. I have reverse-engineered and graphically analysed many Java and XML Schema systems, and I am familiar with many modern enterprise architectures and web frameworks. I am the developer and promoter of the Webel Parsing Analysis recipes for UML and SysML.The UML variant is for mapping text to analysis and design elements for implementation of executable Java and XML software components through forward-engineering, and for binding software documentation extracts to reverse-engineered UML models. The SysML variant is for creation of robust SysML models of systems through traceable elicitation of model elements from text extracts from domain source documents. I have supervised strongly requirements-driven and feature-oriented Java software development projects, and I have overseen entire software development processes through analysis and design to implementation and testing, using UML for model-based Java and C++ design and refactoring, freestyle architectural analysis, project tracking, and for documentation. I am experienced with Agile Software Development practices and the JIRA issue tracking system, and I am fluent in popular software repository and versioning technologies such as Git and Subversion for collaborative team-based software development. I have experience with most major Software Development Lifecycles, and I have used graphical UML to support model-based software development. I have also lectured on software engineering practices. 3/13 Résumé: Dr Darren R C Kelly: Model-Based Systems Engineering and Enterprise Software Engineering Post: Webel IT Australia, PO Box 1816, Bondi Junction, NSW 1355, Australia Tel: +61 (2) 9386 0090 Mobile:

  • Oracle's Commitment to the Eclipse Community
    Oracle’s Commitment to the Eclipse Community An Oracle White Paper March 2007 INTRODUCTION Eclipse has gained strong market adoption for core Java development and is adding support for other languages as well. It enjoys great popularity, in part because it’s free, but also due to its extensibility via plug-ins and the strong ecosystem around it. The advent of emerging trends and technologies like Web 2.0 and SOA amplified the need for an integrated and comprehensive Java IDE that provides pre- packaged and tested support for all major Java EE 5 and Web services standards. Oracle’s tools vision is “productivity with choice”. This means making application development for the Oracle platform as easy as possible regardless of what toolset developers employ be it Oracle JDeveloper or Eclipse. Oracle’s JDeveloper provides a great out-of-the box user experience and dramatically increases productivity for building Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) and SOA based applications. For various reasons, some Oracle customers elect to use Eclipse for Java development. We believe those users should get similar productivity that other Oracle users are already enjoying with JDeveloper. That’s why Oracle chose to join the Eclipse Foundation as a Strategic Developer and Board Member, and contribute world class talent to lead a variety of Eclipse projects and address its customers' needs. EVOLVING REQUIREMENTS Three major enterprise computing trends are coming together to form a new platform for application development. These trends are Java EE 5, Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), and Web 2.0. Today, end users expect highly interactive user interfaces with real-time updates and desktop-like capabilities.

  • Enabling Application Lifecycle Development in Jdeveloper
    Enabling Application Lifecycle Development in JDeveloper Susan Duncan Oracle Corporation United Kingdom Keywords: Application Lifecycle Management,ALM, JDeveloper, Team Productivity Center, SCM, Versioning Introduction Application Lifecycle Management has been defined as “The process of delivering software as a continuously repeating cycle of inter-related steps.” It can be described as the management of the lifecycle development practices (requirements, build, test, change control, defect management etc) integrated together through application of process, reporting, traceability and collaboration. The better this integration, the better the software. However, in the past many of these practices worked in isolation - in functional silos that did not lend themselves to collaboration. But collaboration has become increasingly necessary in the software development world where teams work across organizations, time zones, cultures and business functions. Oracle Fusion Middleware encompasses a number of features to facilitate this mode of distributed working where collaboration is paramount including remote deployment and debugging, a shared resource catalog, SCM system integration, built-in testing with JUnit, functional, load and test management with Oracle Application Quality Management Suite and lifecycle management of SOA composites with ClearApp. This paper concentrates on some of the practical ALM features that are available to the application developer using JDeveloper in her day-to-day working environment Versioning One of the most obvious areas of ALM is versioning or source code management. It would be obvious to say that every development team’s process includes SCM. Generally there are two main types of versioning systems: Lock – Modify – Unlock Although a very safe and reliable system this is not necessarily best suited to a distributed development team.

  • How to Communicate with Developers
    How to Communicate with Developers Employer branding, job listings, and emails that resonate with a tech audience Developers are one of the most in-demand groups of employees these days. And guess what, they noticed this as well: Countless approaches by potential employers, sometimes several messages a day through Linkedin, and a few desperate recruiters even cold calling. So those with technical talents are by no means oblivious to the talent shortage. The good news is that they don’t just use this bargaining power to simply negotiate the highest salaries and most outrageous benefits. Instead, developers are intrinsically motivated. They are looking for the right place to work. Your challenge in this noisy jobs market is to clearly communicate what defines your employer brand, what work needs doing, and, ultimately, who might be the right fit for the role. All of this is easier said than done. Because tech recruiting is a complex business, it is easy to not see the forest for the trees. This guide will help you decide where to start or what to fix next. In the first and more general part, we would like you to take a step back. Before we even think about how to package our job opening and approach a candidate with our offer, we look at what information and knowledge you should gather about your tech team and the company at large. Following that, we will take a practical look at how to write and talk about your company and the role, with a special focus on the job listings and a recruiting emails as a first introduction.
