The Design and Implementation of a Metadata Repository

Abstract. We present a tool which handles all the metadata created and used throughout a large-scale enterprise software project. The tool is used to visually create and edit different metadata specification documents, such as data entities, visual forms, queries, interfaces, transactions and so forth, and then automatically generate code from them. This enables a faster development process, as well as the design of a broad technical framework which fully separates the business logic code from technical concerns. The repository uses a unique unified data model and type system, allowing us to define and edit any level of metadata – from meta-metadata models to actual applicative data – using the same tool. This paper describes both the tool's design as well as the development process which it supports and improves.

Safe language support for feature composition through feature-based dispatch

Language support for independent feature development and feature composition is a relatively young research topic, and the precise requirements of a feature composition operator are not yet fully understood. Suppose we are developing a large software system to sup-port a stock management business. The core functionality of such a system is simply adding items to the stock, remov-ing items and retrieving an inventory of the actual stock-or a subset thereof. The essence of the business is based on charging fees for the core services, starting with charging for stocking items. Such a business model requires features for customer (user) management, for tracking the cost of manip-ulating the stock and for authenticating and billing clients that use our services. Furthermore, to avoid planning prob-lems, such as one of our clients running out of stock, we support features that implement different planning and or-dering strategies. Additional features could be: monitoring the availability of certain items in the stock, sending a noti-fication when the availability reaches a certain level and so on. In the context of the example, the need for different kinds of feature composition arises: some features should be ac-tivated only when certain clients use our application, some features must always be composed (eg. the authentication and billing features), other features may be composed dy-namically (to change the ordering strategy, for example), some conflict (you may only select one ordering strategy) and again others are optional (the notification feature can only fully function when the monitoring feature is available, but the composition may still be legal when the notification feature is composed without the monitoring feature). The above examples indicate some of the requirements of a composition operator. In many cases, and especially in the development of large software systems, the use cases for feature-composition can be summarised as follows: there are a number of c

People Living With, Not Dying From Disease: Patient Empowerment Through Anti-Retroviral Therapy and Possibilities for Social Change

In South Africa today, it is estimated that there are 6.5 million people living with HIV/AIDS, at least half a million of whom require urgent treatment. Although the South African government has committed itself to rolling out anti-retroviral therapy through the public healthcare system, progress has been slower than expected. Yet in numerous sites around South Africa, rollout centres have been established successfully, even in the most rural parts of the country. These programmes rely on existing community initiatives, community health workers and volunteers, and positive people themselves to educate, counsel, and monitor ARV patients. This study suggests that this model of care can be extremely empowering for the patient and reconceptualises healthcare as a path to social change, drawing primarily on Madwaleni Hospital in the Eastern Cape and the Edendale community in KwaZulu-Natal.
