La Redoute Uses HP Exstream to Centralise Its Document Automation Requirements
La Redoute has been France's number one mail-order company for a number of years, and is number three in the world. It is a member of Redcats Group, a Group PPR company. La Redoute, France's number one mail-order company, took on the task of reviewing its document production processes. Its objective was to meet its challenging document production deadline and volume requirements. La Redoute chose the HP Exstream software platform. Exstream is the only software platform capable of meeting all of its current requirements of producing millions of invoices, marketing documents and labels.

Managers and developers adopt object-oriented techniques, not for the benefits of the new technology, but for protection against the weaknesses of the old technology. They are usually seeking refuge from the overwhelming complexity and rigidity of first-generation client server technology. Whether they actually find a safe haven depends very much on whether they master the new architecture. The experience it relate in this paper comes from direct participation and first-hand observation of O-O projects at several large insurance companies, two telecommunication giants, and a leading multi-national financial services firm.

There has been a lot of interest among students lately on the details surrounding the CCNA specializations and their relationship with the corresponding CCNP specializations. These specializations were introduced in the summer of 2008. The purpose of this white paper is to put all the related information into one concise reference document.

This report focuses on one of these integrations, the Rational Rhapsody/BigLever Software Gears Bridge. The Rational Rhapsody/Gears Bridge extends the abstraction, comprehension and communication benefits provided by model-driven development (MDD) with SPL capabilities to capitalize on product line commonality and variation. The Rhapsody/Gears Bridge provides SPL extensions for both SysML systems modeling and UML software modeling

One of the great challenges and opportunities in systems and software delivery today is Product Line Engineering - creating, evolving and maintaining a portfolio of closely related products with variations in features and functions. This presentation will highlight the latest advances in applying SysML and UML to product line engineering, illustrating best practices and commercial experiences using SysML, UML and the Rhapsody/Gears Bridge, an integration of Rhapsody into the Gears software product line lifecycle framework.

All are familiar with the growth rate of the public Web. Regardless of the metric used to measure its growth attached networks, servers, users or pages the growth rate continues to exhibit an exponential pattern. In the same vein, the adoption rate of intranet and extranet data warehouses (i.e., Web warehouses) has exhibited a similar pattern, although the pattern has lagged public adoption. While data warehouse and business intelligence vendors have offered Web-enabled versions.

From 1st July 2008 following on from the Energy Saving Regulation in Germany, the Energy Performance Certificate has been compulsory for all residential buildings built up to and including 1965. The Energy Performance Certificate documents the building and technical heating data to enable the energy of different buildings to be compared, therefore BRUNATA started to look for a suitable software solution for creating these documents. BRUNATA Hurth chose HP Exstream software to create Energy Performance Certificates that were compulsory from July 2008.

Object oriented languages support the development of systems to solve many of today's computing problems where both the processing and data is complex. Data can be complex both in type and relationships. Modeling the data as objects is a natural way to represent this real world data. ODBMSs are an easy way to persist application objects, avoiding the overhead of an object to relational mapping. ODBMSs persist objects of any degree of complexity that the object language can define. However through the lifetime of a system processing and data requirements change resulting in changes to the underlying object model. Managing these changes without having to take the application down is a key requirement in many of these systems.

There is incessant pressure to supply reliable systems at reduced cost and increased profitability. Object-oriented development has also made it easier to develop components iteratively in isolation, for example database access procedures can be developed independently from the application or the user interface. Traditional testing methods attempt to improve reliability by debugging the system using a combination of reviews and unit testing followed by independent system and integration testing. The later stages of verification and validation testing (acceptance and pilot programmers) should continue to improve reliability until the system is deemed reliable enough to be implemented.

Java provides a clean object-oriented programming model and allows for inherently system-independent programs. Unfortunately, Java has a limited concurrency model, providing only threads and Remote Method Invocation (RMI). The JR programming language extends Java to provide a rich concurrency model. JR provides dynamic remote virtual machine creation, dynamic remote object creation, remote method invocation, asynchronous communication, rendezvous, and dynamic process creation. JR programs are written in an extended Java and then translated into standard Java programs. The JR run-time support system is also written in standard Java. This paper describes the JR programming language and its implementation.
