Modelling Exercises ​

Modelling exercises serve as a way to practice and develop techniques that will hopefully be applicable to large production applications.

Backlog Modelling Exercise

• Statechart solution

Complexity Metrics ​

Imagine a world where you could say "I'm building x app which has 8/10 interactive complexity, 5/10 data flow complexity..."

• Candidate Complexity Metrics

Statecharts ​

• Where are all the little statecharts?
• The Clustering Problem

Eventcharts ​

A novel notation to overcome the problems with statecharts at scale.

Motivation - A DSL for Events
The origin of Eventchart wiring- The Switchboard Approach to Actor Composition

The History of Reactive Programming ​

• Synchronous Languages - Esterel, Lustre, Signal

What Do We Mean? ​

Commonly-used terms without a common definition

• Business Logic
• Separation of Concerns
• Declarative Code

Misc ​

• Does the Clustering Problem appear in other areas?
• Can we remove double reactivity from GUIs?
