Paradigms

Paradigms

1. According to Wikipedia, “A programming paradigm is a fundamental style of computer programming that deals with how solutions to problems must be formulated in a programming language”

2. key paradigms

   • Objectoriented software engineering (OOSE)
     • Object-oriented paradigm (OOP) is a design- and programming-oriented paradigm that emerged in the early 1960s
       • Alan Kay
       • The aim of OOP, therefore, is to represent these objects and their relationships; communication between objects via their inter-relations facilitates the implementation of the intended functionalities.
         • The object-oriented has been completed with the remote method invocation (RMI) mechanism, with the aim of introducing the concept of distribution in the programming model.
       • The Simula-67 language laid the first foundations
       • The 1980s witnessed the proliferation of object-oriented languages: Objective C (early 1980s), C++ (C with class structure) in 1983, Eiffel in 1984, Common Lisp Object System in 1987, etc.
   • Component-based software engineering (CBSE),
     • McIlroy
     • Component-based development appeared in the early 1990s in response to the failure of the object-oriented approach
     • A developer only needs to know what a component includes, and not how it was implemented.
       • In addition, in the component-based approach, a clear distinction is made between the development of a component and that of a system.
   • Agent-oriented software engineering (AOSE)
     • Hewitt
     • In the mid-1990s, collective models called multi-agent systems (MASs) came into existence.
       • In these models, an agent is treated as a self-contained entity
         • entity with certain capabilities that enable it to carry out its services or use the services of another agent through interaction.
           • – Reactive agents, which wait for an event to happen before responding to changes in their environment. – Proactive agents, which take decisions on their own initiative in their environment
             • In the agent model, communication is usually asynchronous.
           • Agents can respond not only to invocations of specific methods, but also to observable events in the environment.
           • Proactive agents can actually question the environment for events and other messages to determine what measures to take.
       • Organization-based multi-agent systems (OMASs) are among the new models
   • Service-oriented software engineering (SOSE)
     • The service-oriented paradigm is a relatively new software development, dating from the early 2000s
       • SOSE comes from requests related to systems that need to be able to withstand increasingly volatile and heterogeneous environments
         • SOA became mainstream with the emergence of standards such as Web services in e-commerce, business to business (B2B) or business to consumer (B2C) based on platforms such as J2EE or NET.
       • The service is a software entity that represents a specific function.
         • A service is an action performed (a function rendered) by a provider for a customer
           • the interaction between the supplier and customer is established via a mediator (which may be a bus) responsible for bringing various participants together.
       • A key element of SOSE is the pattern of service interaction, also known as service-oriented architecture (SOA) that enables a range of services to communicate with each other.
         • SOSE considers an application as a set of services interacting in a accordance with their roles and regardless of their location in order to withstand heterogeneous and loosely coupled software systems.
         • SOA is essentially a collection of services that interact and communicate with each other.

3. top-down approach

   • is to concentrate on the differentiation of conceptual aspects directly related to the paradigms
   • opposed to a bottom-up approach
     • examines their technological differences
