Abstract

Speaker presented by Java User Group Switzerland

In the current programming culture we have lost the OOP idea of objects 
containing both logic and state, the idea of reuse has largely failed due to 
impractical mechanisms, and combining pieces of code into larger structures 
using AOP has not quite delivered on its promises. Building large-scale software 
also gives us challenges with regard to complexity, enforcing architectural 
rules and codebase explosion. What if we could look at what we have and figure 
out a new way to address these problems, while promoting the idea from domain 
oriented modeling and retaining what works with what we have now? Composite 
Oriented Programing is a new way of dealing with these problems, and this 
presentation will show how the Qi4j implementation on the Java platform will 
enable you to get more done with less work, and in a way that allows you to 
avoid the mentioned problems. It will describe the COP terminology and show 
examples on how to use Qi4j to implement domain oriented models.
