Patterns covered so far in class:
Here are the requirements for the online voting system. You are producing a design for this system, using OO design patterns. Prepare your materials on a web page (or several) and add the link to your class webspace by the due date (which is the date of the in-class presentation). As with the other team work, each team will produce a joint product, but each team member will link to that product separately in his/her personal class web space.
You will present your design and give the rationale for it in class in our exam slot, which is 4pm Tuesday April 28. We will have 3 hours to do 9 team presentations, so prepare for a 15 minute talk. Please practice yours and time it so you know it fits the alloted time.
The design should be explained as a collection of class/object diagrams (as the design patterns are expressed in), with interfaces defined at a top level (important methods and fields, but not necessarily full details). If you want to or need to, you can use the other diagrams from you text, such as sequence and timing diagrams. Show where the patterns involved are, list them and explain what part of the system functionality they are providing. Give your rational... why did you choose certain patterns and structures, and reject others? Be prepared to explain your design decisions.
Prepare an in-class presentation... powerpoint, web pages, whatever is fine for the presentation materials. No matter what form you use, please put the presentation materials in your submitted web information.
Do this assignment as a project team.
Each member of the team will submit the solution via their individual class webspace, but the work will be jointly done by pair programming. Put your source code files on the web so I can look at them with a browser.
Networked Observer Exercise
The program description is lengthy, so get it here.
ALTERATION/EXTENSION for STRATEGY Take the code you wrote for the Networked Observer exercise and alter is slightly... really, augment it. Add to the application some code that follows the strategy pattern. Create a parent class that all observers will use for the printing/reporting strategy. Subclass it twice to make these two specific print strategies. Print strategy 1: When the observer decides it should report the state of the subject, it will make a sort of a bar chart. Take the number that the subject returns (lets say it's 56). Divide that by 10 (integer division). Then print that many "*" characters along one line with the number at the end. For the 56 example it will look like this: *****56 56 div 10 is 5, so 5 "*" and then 56. Print strategy 2: When an observer decides it should report the state of the subject it will do something kind of logarithmic. Here are examples: for 9: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8: 9 for 17 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10: 17 for 43 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,20,30,40: 43 for 357 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100,200,300: 357 Baiscally, if N is 10 or under print the integers 1 to N-1, and then a colon and N. If N is 11 to 100 print 1-9, then as many multiples of 10 as will fit up to the number, then colon and N If N is 101 up to 1000, print 1-9, then 10-100 by 10's, then as many multiples of 100 as you can get smaller than N, then colon and N When to change strategies To keep this dynamic, put your strategies in a factory and have each observer ask for a new strategy object every 3 printings. So the Observer will start up with some strategy obtained from the factory, print 3 reports with that strategy and then ask the factory for a new strategy. The strategy factory will alternate inbternally in handing out strategies (no matter which observer is asking)... first it hands out a strategy 1, then next request (from anywhere) gives a strategy 2, then back to 1, etc. This is a global back and forth, so when any one observer asks for a new strategy it might get an object that implements the same one it is currently using... but it wont know that. Basically the Observer knows it is time to get a new strategy, but will not know which one it will get.

Using Proxy and Chain of Responsibility (and almost Flyweight)
The program description is lengthy, so get it here.
Each person will submit the solution done by the team via link on
their class webspace; each team member will
submit the same program code.
Put your source code files on the web so I can look at
them with a browser.
Do this assignment as a team. Develop the work together, then each person will put the work on their individual class assignment web page.
Develop user stories for the online voting system. These user stories will serve as requirements for the design you will produce. Use the issues developed in class discussions as material for the stories, as well the summary I have prepared. You may also use your own ideas on how such a system should behave to fill in where the class discussion was ambiguous, spotty, or absent.
Express the user stories in the format shown in the video clip.
Here is the online voting system description.
Here is the list of issues from class discussion.
Do this coding assignment individually. More or less over break.
Submit the solution via your class assignment webspace.
Put your source code files on the web so I can look at
them with a browser.
This is a Java assignment. Use the code from class discussion as a base. One of the common ways to use factories is for an application to have just one instance (object) for each facory class. This naturally suggests the Singleton pattern.
Code Examplesa) Take the code for NameFactory and make the factory (class containing the factory method) adhere to the Singleton pattern. Alter the main app to demonstrate that an attempt to instantiate a second NameFactory object fails.
b) In the Abstract Factory example, a Garden makes Plants so Garden is a Factory. A GardenMaker makes Gardens, so GardenMaker makes Factories, so it is a Factory Factory. Take the code in for Abstract Factory and make the garden factories adhere to the Singleton pattern. Also then make the Garden Factory Factory (GardenMaker) be a Singleton. Alter the main app to demonstrate that attempts to instantiate these twice fails.

Write in ML a higher-order function called HOF. Make it curried.
HOF takes three arguments -- let's call them p, f, and g. When HOF is executed on some p, f, and g, it will return a function... let's call that returned function R.
Here is how the returned function R should behave:
When we eventually execute function R we will give it two
arguments... the first is a non-negative integer, the second
can be anything. Function "p" will act like a "picker",
selecting which of function "f" or "g" to apply, based on
the first integer argument.
That integer will be passed to "p" as its argument. If p returns a value greater than 1000 (or less than -1000), then R will apply "f" to the second argument. Otherwise, then R will apply "g" to the second argument.
Demonstrate your function by creating some function p, some function f, and some function g, and explain what you expect to happen when you run the function created by your HOF on them. Show some executions to support your explanation. Write these at test cases in ML and include the tests in the ML code you submit.
Use ML to express the axioms you write. Using ML will also allow you to check the behavior to see if you have expressed what you intended.
Using Guttag's hueristic, give consistent and complete algebraic specs for this ADT (class):
LIB (library) new: -> LIB add: LIB x BOOK -> LIB rem: LIB x BOOK -> LIB cko: LIB x BOOK x PERSON -> LIB cki: LIB x BOOK x PERSON -> LIB wait: LIB x BOOK x PERSON -> LIB off: LIB x BOOK x PERSON -> LIB has: LIB x BOOK -> boolean here: LIB x BOOK -> int num: LIB x BOOK -> int new makes a LIB with no books, no wait lists, etc. add puts another copy of a book in the library rem takes a copy out of the library cko allows a person to check out the book cki checks the book back in; if there is a person on wait list it does a cko to that person. wait puts person at the back of a waiting list for a book off takes a person out of the waiting list for a book has tells if a book exists in the Library (even if all copies are checked out here tells how many copies of a book are available for checking out num tells how many copies total of a book exist in the libraryYou can use string for PERSON. Use int for BOOK (like a simplified ISBN).
When picking the canonical constructors, consider the data structures that must be kept internally by the library. Some canonical constructor will be needed to build each of these structures.
Hand in your work via the website you are keeping for the class, the one you sent me the URL for in assignment A3. Do it similar to this web page and this example, meaning make me a web page with a link to the text of each ADT in ML. I need the ML source code to be cut-n-paste'able so I can run the specs.
Email to me a URL for a web page that you will keep for this
class. On this web page please put your name and email adddress.
Then add links for your work as the semester progresses.
The page will include links to your individual work, as well
as to the work you do as a team.
ALSO, add a link for your A1 answer that you emailed to me.
Read the two Guttag papers above on ADTs and algebraic axioms.
Answer this question: What is software design?
I am not looking for pages, but I would like you to give it enough thought that you can answer with a good paragraph or two. Prepare this answer for the next class. Email it to me by the time I have indicated so I can take a look before the next class, and so you will be prepared to discuss this next time.
