Software Design using Dylan: 

     Who is willing to join such a campaign?

Write an email to comp.lang.dylan 
or             peter.robisch@gmx.net


Goals:   
=====
     (1) Introducing to modern programing styles
     (2) Using Dylan as implementaion language, because
         it separats concerns from the beginning
    
           
Strategy
========

    (1) Publishing papers, which get known to 
        the Nec Researching Index,
    
    (2) Preparing the content for a high informativ 
        Dynamic Language (Dylan) web site.
    


I. Design topics
================

(1) Dylan visiting San Francisco
    How to implement the IBM's San Fransisco Design Patterns to Dylan.
    
    
(2) Communicating Design
    Searching a Modelling Language modern and creative as required for
Dylan.
    (a) Evaluating:
        (1)  Skill driven design
        (2)  Design patterns with Use Case Maps
        (3)  The modelling language Alloy
    
    (a) Explaining
        (1) The representation of roles in conceptual modeling
        (2)  Object + views = components ?
        
II. Evolution topics: Multiparadigma Thinking
=============================================


(1) Constraint Imperative Programming
    Logic is orthogonal to object orientation.
    
    "Logic programming lets you concentrate on modeling the
     relations between objects instead of modeling the objects
themselves"
     Metsker, Building Parser.
 
 
(2) efficient dylan dispatch talk slides 
    Implement into Dylan a support for dispatching on state    
    http://www.ai.mit.edu/~jrb/Projects/dylan-dispatch.ppt

    
    
III. Component topics
=====================

(1) Building Parsers and engines

(2) Graphic Programming

    (a) a simple structured graphics model
    (b) supporting graphics using delegatuion and multi methods
    
 
(3)  TeX's formula layout using Dylan  




IV.  Framework development


(1)  Communication specification for the framework development in Dylan
