It contains helpful information that can be used during selecting programming language. It introduces multi layer architecture with description and functionality of each layer. It provides description of Model View Controller pattern and how to use it in multi-layer application design. It shows the most powerful Java frameworks that can be applied for each layer and how to connect them in simple way, using Inversion of Control container. It shows power of Spring Framework as business layer, Hibernate as integration layer and ZK Ajax as presentation layer. It proves, that Java combined with applicable libraries can be very powerful tool in good hands. Keywords: CMS, JEE, Spring, Hibernate, AJAX. 1. INTRODUCTION CMS is prepared through a simple-to-use user interface. Usually it is a set of web pages containing The Internet – today is the most powerful and complex forms and modules. popular information media. What was impossible The primary task of the CMS platform is even few years ago is now available by “clicking separation of data content from presentation (the the mouse”.

Physical separation of data concerns Examples: • Presentation (UI) • Application Processing • Data Management Why split into layers? OSI Model Why split into layers? Separation of concerns! A change to one layer can have no bearing on the rest of the model e.g. Fiberoptic instead of Coax at the PHY layer OSI Model How does this apply to mobile? Application designers often want separation of UI and logic! Three tier architecture These software engineering abstractions relate to the MV* architectures that are common in mobile computing systems Model View Controller (MVC) Model View Controller 1 1Krasner 1988 Definitions Model: Models are those components of the system application that actually do the work View: Display aspects of the models Controller: Used to send messages to the model, provide interface between model, views, and UI devices.

  • Methods & Tools
    METHODS & TOOLS Practical knowledge for the software developer, tester and project manager ISSN 1661-402X Spring 2011 (Volume 19 - number 1) www.methodsandtools.com The Salesmen/Developers Ratio at Software Vendors Many of us might think that software is a technological industry. Maybe. But maybe not. If you consider Oracle or Microsoft, I suppose that few of us would consider them as technology leaders, but we will all recognize their financial strength and marketing power. Long lasting organizations in the software industry might have more financial strength than technological capabilities. The recent conflict between Oracle and the creator of Hudson, an open source continuous integration server, is just another episode in the opposition between developers- and salesmen-driven software companies. On one side you have Oracle, for which Hudson is just small project inherited from the Sun buyout and that owns the "Hudson" brand. On the other side, you find Kohsuke Kawaguchi, who created Hudson and wants keep some control on its development. Hudson has been "forked", the open source code being used to start another project. You now have a Jenkins CI project that includes most of the active Hudson contributors and a Hudson CI project backed by Oracle and Sonatype, the commercial company behind the Maven project. Everything is however not black and white. Kohsuke Kawaguchi has joined Cloudbees, a company that has some management and financing coming from ex-JBoss managers, people that know how to make money with open source software. These people are not working hard for the only sake of technology evolution. You can judge the main orientation of a company looking at its salesmen/developers ratios.

  • Network‐Based Approaches for Pathway Level Analysis
    Network-Based Approaches for Pathway UNIT 8.25 Level Analysis Tin Nguyen,1 Cristina Mitrea,2 and Sorin Draghici2,3 1Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Nevada, Reno, Nevada 2Department of Computer Science, Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan 3Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan Identification of impacted pathways is an important problem because it allows us to gain insights into the underlying biology beyond the detection of differ- entially expressed genes. In the past decade, a plethora of methods have been developed for this purpose. The last generation of pathway analysis methods are designed to take into account various aspects of pathway topology in order to increase the accuracy of the findings. Here, we cover 34 such topology-based pathway analysis methods published in the past 13 years. We compare these methods on categories related to implementation, availability, input format, graph models, and statistical approaches used to compute pathway level statis- tics and statistical significance. We also discuss a number of critical challenges that need to be addressed, arising both in methodology and pathway repre- sentation, including inconsistent terminology, data format, lack of meaningful benchmarks, and, more importantly, a systematic bias that is present in most existing methods.
