CS COLLOQUIUM
An Introduction to the Shared Source Common Language Infrastructure (SSCLI)
Damien Watkins
Monash University and Project42
Wednesday, October 30, 2002
4:00 - 5:00 PM
Engineering Center Classroom 1B06

The Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) is an ECMA standard that describes 
a modern, component based, software architecture.  In this regard the CLI 
is similar in parts to architectures such as COM, CORBA and Java.  The 
Shared Source CLI (SSCLI) is a complete implementation of the CLI in source 
code that can be compiled and executed on Windows XP and FreeBSD. The 
Shared Source license is designed to permit the use of the source code in 
educational environments and it is envisaged that universities may use the 
SSCLI in their curriculum.  This seminar is an introduction to the SSCLI, 
describing the architecture of the CLI, the structure of the source code 
tree that forms the SSCLI and demonstrating the use of some of the tools 
that accompany the distribution.

Short Bio: Damien Watkins is the founder and Managing Director of Project 
42 P/L. Prior to commencing Project 42 Damien lectured at the School of 
Computer Science and Software Engineering and the
Department of Software Development at Monash University. Damien lectured 
both postgraduate and undergraduate subjects, covering the areas of UNIX 
System Call Programming, Windows Programming with C++, Component Based 
Software Development and Distributed Object Oriented Technologies.  Damien 
taught the world's first .NET Framework course at Monash University. He has 
also taught at Uppsala University (Sweden) and KMITNB (Thailand).
Since 1998 Damien has been engaged with Microsoft on the development of the 
.NET Framework under a university early access program called "Project 7." 
Component architectures that provide language interoperability have always 
held a keen interest for Damien. His PhD thesis, titled "Adding Contracts 
to Interface Definition Languages", dealt with improving the quality of 
distributed object oriented architectures, such as DCOM and CORBA. Damien 
has just completed writing a book for Addison Wesley on the .NET Framework .
