Description: Re-Developing the eVACS-System Using Executable UML



                              Abstract 



With the Object-Oriented Analysis Shlaer/Mellor Method Sally Shlaer and 
Steven Mellor have introduced a way to capture requirements in a way 
that is independent of programming languages, software designs 
and architectures as well as platforms. Since a couple of years 
tools are available which support  this kind of software development, 
which promises to be more efficient, more reliable and less error prone.
I used the BridgePoint Development Suite to analyse the domain of 
the electronic voting and counting system that has been introduced 
for the  elections for the ACT in 2001. 
The analysis resulted in a Shlaer/Mellor Model which was verified 
in a kind of virtual machine and finally automatically compiled 
to executable code. The code has then be combined with an external GUI 
to result in a re-developed eVACS-System.

Malte Stien made his degree in Technical Computer Science at the Technical 
University of Berlin/Germany in 1998. Afterwards, he got the chance to be 
part of a research project at the Charite, the biggest university clinic in
Europe. He worked there for four years researching on different surgical 
robotics applications. He finished his PhD thesis about a graphical 
simulation and monitoring system for surgical robotics tasks in November
2001 and received his degree in April this year. 
During his work he became more  and more interested in and responsible 
for software engineering techniques. Malte Stien came to Australia 
to visit the country and work in a new  environment. 
He is working for the ANU since August.
