This book provides practical guidance on the construction of object-oriented systems using the Booch and OMT methods of software development. Its specific goals are
This book is written for the computer professional as well as for the student. It is suitable for use in professional seminars and individual study as well as in undergraduate and graduate courses. It shows how to
Because this is a case study, the reader should have a general understanding of or be in the process of learning the approach, the specialized terms, and the notation of the Booch and/or OMT methods. This book also assumes some familiarity with basic software engineering concepts.
This book takes a practical approach to teaching the Booch and OMT methods. It uses a case study to show the analysis and design of an application. We chose a course registration system for a university as the problem domain because it is easily understood and not specific to any field of computer science. The reader can concentrate on the specifics of modeling the domain in the Booch and OMT methods, rather than investing time in understanding an unfamiliar problem domain.The problem is treated seriously enough to give the reader practical experience with most of the steps of the Booch and OMT methods and the feeling of solving a real problem, without being so realistic that the reader is bogged down in details. Thus many interesting and perhaps necessary requirements, considerations, and constraints were put aside to produce a simplified, yet useful case study fitting the scope of this book. With the goal of usefulness in mind, the exercises have been crafted to make the methods clear to a practitioner's eye.
The methods are described as a series of sequential steps. This approach gives the new user a framework for developing object-oriented applications and provides advanced techniques for more experienced users. As users become fluent in the methods, they will be able to move back and forth through the steps, and often combine several steps, until the desired result is achieved.
For additional details on the evolving Booch and OMT methods, or on applying them to your application, you should consider the training and mentoring services offered by both the Lockheed Martin Advanced Concepts Center (ACC) and Rational Software Corporation.
Any software development method is best supported by a tool, and this book makes use of the tool Rational Rose 3.0. Each step in either method includes a description of how to use Rational Rose 3.0 to complete the step. This information is presented in separate text boxes provided as an aid to users of Rational Rose 3.0. To obtain a copy of Rational Rose 3.0, contact either of the above companies.
The book is divided into three sections followed by a set of appendices. The first section contains case-study background information that is applicable to both the Booch and OMT methods. The second section contains chapters devoted to the Booch method, and the third section covers the OMT method.
Case-study background
The first chapter discusses information related to the course registration system case study that is used throughout the book.
The Booch Method
Chapter 2 establishes the principles of the Booch method. It summarizes the steps of the method, and discusses the deliverables of each step.
Chapter 3 discusses possible sources of information about the requirements of a system and shows the creation of a context diagram. It also describes the problem domain of the course registration system used throughout the book.
Chapters 4 through 9 describe the steps of analysis in detail. Chapter 4 discusses how to find, define, and document key classes of the domain. Chapter 5 shows how to define the structure and behavior of the system by looking at the use cases of the system. Chapter 6 illustrates the definition of relationships between classes in the system. Chapter 7 discusses the discovery of generalized classes, or superclasses, and of specialized classes, or subclasses. Chapter 8 illustrates the use of Harel state transition diagrams for classes with significant dynamic behavior. Finally, Chapter 9 presents ways to validate an analysis model.
Chapters 10 through 12 describe how an analysis model matures into a design model. Chapter 10 shows how to organize the design into a structured architecture. Chapter 11 details the steps involved in iteration planning. Chapter 12 discusses the use of commercial class libraries during development.
Chapters 13 through 15 describe the evolution of a system under development using an iterative and incremental approach. Chapter 13 discusses building an iteration. Chapter 14 illustrates the steps necessary to build the next iteration. Finally, Chapter 15 details team development procedures.
The OMT Method
Chapter 16 establishes the principles of the OMT method. It summarizes the steps of the method, the models, and the deliverables of each step.
Chapter 17 explains how OMT can help you understand the need for a system and to systematically obtain the outline and form of new systems. Showing how to create context diagrams and high-level use cases, this chapter introduces the problem domain of the course registration system and the operation concepts of the solution approach used throughout the book.
Domain analysis, the systematic exploration of the world, is examined in Chapters 18 through 21. The core modeling approaches of OMT, the class diagram (Chapter 18), associations (Chapter 19), operations and attributes (Chapter 20), and state diagrams (Chapter 21), are also covered.
In Chapters 22 through 25, we further analyze the specific application. Application classes (Chapter 22), such as surrogates, controllers, and views are created, and use cases (Chapter 23) are further explored to capture the specific user-visible requirements of the system. Chapter 24 discusses the discovery of generalized classes, or superclasses, and of specialized classes, or subclasses. In Chapter 25, the functional model is introduced to formally capture lower-level behavior.Chapter 26 discusses techniques to test the analysis.
System architecture and policy are captured using techniques described in Chapter 27.
The details of object design are captured using diagrams such as the object interaction diagrams, as shown in Chapter 28. Chapter 29 discusses the use of commercial class libraries during development. As object design progresses, the details of the objects are specified. Chapter 30 gives an overview of some of the considerations of object design and begins to discuss implementation.
After the discussion in Chapter 30 of implementation, Chapter 31 illustrates the steps necessary to build the next iteration using round-trip engineering. Finally, Chapter 32 details team development procedures.
Appendix A gives a detailed definition of the Booch notation.
Appendix B gives a detailed definition of the OMT notation.
Appendix C shows a sample of the C++ code generated by the Rational Rose 3.0 tool for one class in the course registration system.
Using this book
You can read straight through this manual to obtain the fundamental concepts of the Booch and OMT methods and a sense of how the object-oriented software engineering process works. Using the book along with Rational Rose 3.0 will allow you to work some of the examples and develop a more detailed understanding of the methods.

Robot night at the museum
In the dead of night, four robots went scooting around one of London's most famous museums last week. The four robots were part of an art project called After Dark, which let people explore the Tate Britain building from home, over the web. Those who wanted to guide the robots waited in an online queue until given control for a few minutes. They could direct the wheeled robots using the arrow keys on their computers. The bots were fitted with sensors to detect obstacles and could tilt their head to shine their spotlight-boosted gaze on the various works of art.

Move over Batman. A system designed at MIT allows you to "see" in the dark and through smoke using nothing but sound. To do it, your smartphone emits an inaudible chirp of sound. Two microphones on the phone listen for the echo, and then the procedure is quickly repeated with the phone in a slightly different location. Knowing how far the phone has moved, and how the echoing sound waves differ from the initial chirps, allows the creation of a simple image of any hidden objects.

Absolutely true! Being an Indian how can she say such statements?? Hate mallika! I absolutely agree with Priyanka Chopra.
You go PeeCee!! You rock! Mallika has no stature or knowledge to talk about women in India.
mallaika plz stay at home no wants to hear you..m too offended bu her comments!
Mallika is a Nonsense Girl , How can u say India is Regressive , Did India Stopped u to get into HollyWood or Kollywood , Did our Nation asked u not to be Modern or do not get with Jeans.I thought we need a Mind set in Boys , But it looks Not only Men Mallika and Women like her also Need a Change of Mindset .
@ddFan2012 : Get a Life for God sake and try to put sense of what u are talking
The Chopra girl is no saint. What a joke! Its like the skunk telling the rat you stink!

If a glacier melts and retreats on the mountains or crumbles in the Arctic and there are no witnesses, it is ever really existed?
In 2015, for the first time ever, Alex will live on the tip of an iceberg, carved from a glacier in the North West of Greenland: this is Adrift. Clinging to that piece of drifting ice, Alex will spend up to twelve months to witness the last phase of its long life, while managing with a constantly changing environment. As the iceberg will get smaller and less stable Alex Bellini will have to adapt himself to the new situation. In order to survive for as long as possible, Alex Bellini will have to adapt his lifestyle and habits. This will be crucial to getting people to think, to make parallels with everyday life characterised by a total lack of willingness to change and adapt. Adrift has the purpose of raising awarness and bringing contribution to the long discussed global warming and climate change theories, inspire students all over the World with educational programmes and inspire to live more sustainably.

Stepping off the set of her upcoming comedy "Born to Be King," Kate Hudson took a beat to cover the November 2013 issue of Shape magazine.
If her smile looks extra easy in the newest Ann Taylor holiday collection shots, it's because Kate Hudson surrounded herself with family and friends for the photoshoot.
Photographed by Mikael Jansson, the "Almost Famous" star wears chic black semi-sheer outfits as she poses with her two sons and partner Matt Bellamy's Muse tour manager.
She loves to work her mojo for the camera, and on Tuesday (October 8) Kate Hudson was on fire at a Los Angeles photo shoot.
The "How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days" dame pranced around in a broken mirror-style dress with matching heels, and donned several other ornate ensembles during the course of the day.
She's not in a huge hurry to tie the knot with fiancé Matt Bellamy, but Kate Hudson's son Ryder Robinson is beginning to lose his patience.
During her chat on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," the "Fool's Gold" gal admitted that her 9-year-old boy isn't happy that she hasn't said "I Do" yet.
Putting her starpower to work for a good cause, Kate Hudson spoke at the Clinton Global Initiative meeting in New York City on Wednesday (September 25).
The "Almost Famous" star looked beautiful and vibrant on stage in a cream blouse and black blazer as she joined political leaders, CEOS, and philanthropists to help find solutions to the world's major problems.
She's long been swooning over musicians and this weekend Kate Hudson has plenty to swoon over at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas (September 20).
With her partner Matt Bellamy and his band Muse about to hit the stage, the "Almost Famous" star hit the red carpet in a form-fitting black top, matching skinnies, a W. Britt bracelet and a leather belt.
Making the most of her last day on set, Kate Hudson posed for pics as she wrapped "Wish I Was Here" on Friday (September 6).
The "Almost Famous" star was surrounded by cast and crew as she bid farewell, getting hugs from cast members including director Zach Braff and Josh Gad.
For whatever reason, Kate Hudson was more interested in showing off her gigantic purse—as opposed to her face—on the set of her new movie, "Wish I Was Here" Friday (August 30) in Los Angeles.
Donning a pretty yellow dress, the actress used her tribal print handbag to hide from the pesky paparazzi. (Apparently her oversized sunglasses weren't big enough.)

N.D. dethroned as king sunflower state by S.D.S.D. producer, on N.D. flooding: 'It's not the way we like to see it happen'
That crown has been worn by North Dakota since record-keeping for both states began in 1977. But 2011 flooding and wet weather wiped out acres, and production fell to 766 million pounds. South Dakota farmers produced 777 million pounds.

Originally written on Fox Sports West | Last updated 10/23/12
A 10-year stint in the Angels organization, including the last two as a big league reserve, came to an abrupt end for Bobby Wilson on Monday when the catcher was claimed off waivers by the Toronto Blue Jays, a move that clears the way for Hank Conger to be the Angels' No. 2 catcher. "I wasn't expecting the phone call, and I don't know what to think of it, but it's time to move forward," said Wilson, a solid defensive player who batted .211 in 75 games last season. As a player entering his first year of arbitration, Wilson, who made 487,500 last season, would have cost the Angels a little more than they will pay Conger, a first-round pick in 2006, next season. But a more likely reason for the move is that with starter Chris Iannetta locked up in a three-year, 15.55-million deal this month, Conger, who bats left-handed and has considerably more offensive upside than Wilson, is a better complement to the right-handed-hitting Iannetta.

I actually watch Queer Eye for the Straight Guy sometimes. I think it's funny to watch a group of homosexual stereotypes replace someone's ugly "straight" crap with ugly "gay" crap.
The other thing I watch (for no explainable reason) is chinese TV. Where I live there's a television station that switches, depending on time of day, between Japanese (which I speak), Korean, and Chinese television. I don't understand a word of what they're saying, but it's interesting when it's 4:00 in the morning and there's nothing else on. Besides, asian TV is the only place to find gameshows such as "stand behind your friend and try and stick noodles in his/her mouth with a pair of chopsticks". COMEDY GOLD, I SAY.

I have to admit I become easily entranced by children's television. Some shows, Kipper, for instance, can be hypnotic with their simplistic storylines, soothing visual styles, and pleasant music.

I love Iron Chef! Kyou no teema...Omaradu. Allez Cuisine! It's on the food channel here. The times keep on changing so I never know when it's on.
Hmm...I actually don't watch too much TV anymore...but I do watch Queer Eye sometimes...and uh...The View. Not for the cackling hosts mind you! But for Elisabeth the hottie, I liked seeing her on Survivor so I thought...eh, what the hell. I could watch it with the sound off and I'd be happy

Product description
"The Voyage of the Beagle" is Charles Darwin's account of the momentous voyage which set in motion the current of intellectual events leading to "The Origin of Species". This "Penguin Classics" edition is edited with an introduction and notes by Janet Brown and Michael Neve. When HMS Beagle sailed out of Devonport on 27 December 1831, Charles Darwin was twenty-two and setting off on the voyage of a lifetime. His journal, here reprinted in a shortened form, shows a naturalist making patient observations concerning geology, natural history, people, places and events. Volcanoes in the Galapagos, the Gossamer spider of Patagonia and the Australasian coral reefs - all are to be found in these extraordinary writings. The insights made here were to set in motion the intellectual currents that led to the theory of evolution, and the most controversial book of the "Victorian age: The Origin of Species". This volume reprints Charles Darwin's journal in a shortened form. In their introduction Janet Brown and Michael Neve provide a background to Darwin's thought and work, and this edition also includes notes, maps, appendices and an essay on scientific geology and the Bible by Robert FitzRoy, Darwin's friend and Captain of the Beagle. Charles Darwin (1809-82), a Victorian scientist and naturalist, has become one of the most famous figures of science to date. The advent of "On the Origin of Species" by means of natural selection in 1859 challenged and contradicted all contemporary biological and religious beliefs. If you enjoyed "The Voyage of the Beagle", you might enjoy Darwin's "On the Origin of Species", also available in "Penguin Classics".

Author information
Charles Darwin (1809-82) was an evolutionary scientist, best-known for his controversial and ground-breaking work of non-fiction Origin of Species, and for his theories on the survival of the fittest. M.Neve is based at the Wellcome Trust, UCL. He teaches and researches the history of psychiatry and life sciences.
Editorial reviews
'Classic' is almost too trite a word for this wonderful story in Darwin's own words of his famous career-setting journey of a lifetime. Darwin was 22 years old in 1831 when he accmpanied Captain Robert FitzRoy on a mapping-collecting trip to South America. Darwin returned five years later, having marvelled at the wonders of the natural world and taken copious notes about it which led to books and papers and scientific celebrity. It would be several more decades (1859) before Darwin published the famous theory of natural selection to explain evolution but the seeds were all here in this trip - the finches of the Galapagos, the arguments with Captain FitzRoy, the first glimpse of the astonishing diversity of the tropical rain forest, the geological wonders that spoke to Darwin about the Earth's changes. It is highly readable, a book to give any modern adventurer a hint of the thrill of discovery, a book to dip into and to come back to time and again. (Kirkus UK)

Unforgettable headline
Oh no, who enjoys writing these? But I must say, I've now read many wonderful people's little intro-bio's that have really cracked me up at points, so I'm going to try to return the favor and supply my own little erring-on-entertaining blurb. Some have told me I'm "always positive/optimistic" - to which I take great offense! I had a bit of a Charlie Rose addiction last year (you know, the 1,000 year old pbs talk host? everyone knows him, right?), and he had some guest on who talked about his book which he summed up as explaining how "we're all better off when we're all better off". I guess one of the biggest things that annoys me is when people don't get that. My trade is developing video games.. I love it.. it's always keeping me on my toes and pushing me to do better. I try to stay current in my field, but don't worry about me being one of those fools addicted to some popular/cliche game. I like being under the sun. ;) Pretty big music nerd.. Always looking for something that has an idea I haven't heard before, which is pretty easy to do. My toddler helps provide the necessary chaos in my life... he's the best! So amazing to see what new thing he's picking up each day.. such a new kind of relationship to learn so much from.. I really wasn't going to add a 'looking for' part - I think anyone special can passively make you realize a lot of things you think you wanted weren't that important to you - but I guess I should state that I hope you find yourself highly intelligent, eyes wide open, too busy to waste time, good at enjoying wasting time. Old soul / young at heart? Feet on the ground / head in the clouds? If you're still reading, maybe you should... ??? :) $$$ :O Ahem.. I probably drank too much coffee.

Picture: Danny Masterson Premiere of Morgan Spurlock's 'Mansome' held at The Arclight Theatre Los Angeles, California - 10.05.12
That '70s Show star Danny Masterson has taken up golf after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament during a rough game of hockey.
The funnyman, who played Topher Grace's sidekick Steven Hyde in the long-running TV sitcom, began playing high-contact sports when he was in junior high school and he continued for several years, playing in three different leagues.
But, at the age of 36, Masterson admits he has been forced to abandon his need for speed on the ice and pick up an activity with less potential for physical harm after severely injuring his knee and bursa sacs, which are fluid-filled pouches located between the bone and muscle.
He tells PR.com, "All through Junior High and High School and into my mid-twenties I was obsessed with playing ice hockey. I played in three different leagues, four nights a week. I also played softball and I always had one or two softball leagues.
"Then I actually blew out my knee, tore my Acl and burst my bursa. I couldn't do anything for about six months. I stopped playing hockey after that, kept playing softball, and then started golfing about a year and a half ago. I've probably played about 200 rounds in a year and half."
And Masterson has even persuaded his actress wife Bijou Phillips into joining him on the golf course, adding, "It's pretty f**king fun, man! I took my wife out a few times and she's kind of digging it now, too. She's not a golfer because she's an equestrian, so she's got the horses that she's with every day. But I've gotten her to play three or four times, and she's actually pretty good."

In this course, author and digital imaging expert Tim Grey teaches you how to use the Library module in Adobe Lightroom 4 to manage your images, ensuring that you'll always be able to find any image you need, when you need it. Learn how to make full use of the Import feature, sort and organize your images, add keywords and otherwise identify key images, filter and search images, create backups, and much more. Plus, get lots of tips on configuring the Lightroom interface to suit the way you work, making everything you do faster and easier.
(music playing) Hello, I'm Tim Gray, and I'll be your trainer for this video training title aimed at helping you keep your digital photos managed with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. For about the last 15 years, I've been keeping very busy writing books and magazine articles, leading photography workshops, and speaking at events, all aimed at helping photographers make the most of their images. More recently, I've been producing training titles with the help of Video to Brain, aimed at helping photographers improve their photography and their digital workflow. In this video workshop, I'm going to personally guide you through a full image management workflow in Lightroom.
We'll start off with an overview of Lightroom and some guidance on finding your way around and configuring the various options and settings. Then I'll show you the various methods you can use for bringing images into the Lightroom catalog based on specific workflow scenarios. We'll then take a detailed look at the methods you can use to review your images and identify your favorites, add information about the subject of the photo, keyword you images and much more. Naturally the main reason to organize your photo is to be able to find specific images later. I'll show you how you can apply quick filters for simple situations, as well as how to use advanced filtering for more complicated situations.
You'll even learn how to view your images on a map and how to update the location for photos even if they didn't originally include GPS location information. My aim in this video workshop, isn't just to help you learn how to use Lightroom. Instead I want to help you feel confident in your overall image management workflow. I will feel I've done my best job, if after viewing the lessons in this video workshop, you feel confident in your image management workflow, and you're able to find the photos you need when you need them. So, lets get started together to help you organize your digital photos.

ATHENS, Greece -- We've seen it all during the Olympics,
from alpha to omega. And we've largely kept our opinions to
But not anymore.
From the most enthusiastic fans and infectious chants to the
worst hairdos and attitudes to the most annoyingly overplayed
songs, here's our look at the best and worst of the 2004 Summer
BEST CHANT: The roaring Greek cries of "Hellas, Hellas" -- as
the country is known here -- which echoed everywhere, but were
deafening during the men's basketball game against the United
States. (We also got caught up in the Lithuanians' rhythmic cheer
of "Lie-tu-va.")
WORST BEHAVIOR: Two displays come to mind. The capacity crowd at
Olympic Stadium whistling and booing -- chanting for disgraced Greek
sprinter Kostas Kenteris -- and delaying the start of the 200-meter
final by four minutes. And the gymnastics fans who booed for 10
minutes because they were unhappy with the high-bar scores the
judges gave Russian Alexei Nemov.
BEST SPORTSMANSHIP: U.S. swimmer Michael Phelps for giving up
his spot in the 400-meter medley relay to rival Ian Crocker, which
allowed Crocker to redeem himself for a disappointing swim earlier.
WORST SPORTSMANSHIP: Germany's Judith Arndt, who won the silver
medal in the women's road race, yet made an obscene gesture toward
her nation's cycling federation officials while crossing the finish
line. Arndt said she was upset that they didn't put her close
friend Petra Rossner on the Olympic team. (Misplaced priorities:
Taekwondo referee Zhao Lei, who still counted out Bertrand Gbongou
Liango from the Central African Republic while he was lying
unconscious from a roundhouse kick to the head before being
hospitalized with a concussion.)
BEST HAIR: Australian swimmer Ian Thorpe, whose blond-tipped
bed-head still looked fabulous, even with the gold medal-winner's
wreath on top of it.
WORST HAIR: Australian basketball player C.J. Bruton, whose
braided 'do resembled a cornrow mohawk. (Furry-backed
Roberto Duenas of the Spanish basketball team qualifies for this
category, as well. The 7-foot-3, 302-pound center is the winner of our
"Wookie of the Year" award.)
BEST HORSE NAME: Air Jordan, a German horse in the three-day
event, which includes jumping.
WORST CROWDS: The abysmally low soccer attendance at satellite
venues in Thessaloniki, Heraklio, Volos and Patras -- except when
the Greeks played, and even they didn't sell out most of their
games. At the Ghana-Paraguay game, the announced attendance was
1,119 among 26,200 seats.
BEST FIREWORKS: The climactic show at the opening ceremony in
Olympic Stadium.
WORST FIREWORKS: Chief Olympic organizer Gianna
Angelopoulos-Daskalaki threw a celebration one day later, with a
pyrotechnics show that caused a fire in the nearby wooded area,
burning out of control for nearly an hour.
BEST BARGAIN: The 2-euro Heinekens on tap at the venues and
media villages. (Though the chocolate-coated ice cream bars for 1
euro and 50 cents also were a favorite.)
WORST FOOD: Anything served at the media villages. Breakfast was
especially bleak, consisting of bland cold cuts, tepid omelets and
concrete croissants.
BEST USE OF COSMETICS: American sprinter Gail Devers, who
painted her famous talons blue to match her uniform.
WORST USE OF COSMETICS: The rhythmic gymnasts. We know you're
trying to color coordinate, but seafoam-green eye shadow and silver
hair glitter are never, ever a good look.
BEST FASHION ACCESSORY: British long jumper Jade Johnson's
snazzy red fishnet stockings.
WORST FASHION ACCESSORY: The plastic strap barely holding up
Jamaican Veronica Campbell's top as she ran the anchor leg of the
400-meter relay. Her team won the gold, but her outfit was a
wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen.
BEST FANS: Hard to choose. The mighty, tightly packed Lithuanian
basketball fans, dressed in their country's green, yellow and red,
resembled the produce section at a grocery store. The Japanese, in
matching samurai garb, were vocal and organized at baseball. And
then there was the overweight Brazilian beach volleyball fan in a
green-and-yellow wig, tight yellow Superman costume and blue Speedo
WORST ATTITUDE: U.S. super heavyweight Jason Estrada, who
performed dismally in a quarterfinal loss to Cuba's Michel Lopez
Nunez, then infuriated his coaches by telling reporters it didn't
matter since he's focusing on his upcoming pro career: "If I'm
going to lose, I'm going to lose getting hit as little as possible.
I'd rather not get hit at all."
BEST SONGS AT VENUES: The "Zorba the Greek" theme, which never
grew tiresome. "Miserlou" by Dick Dale. "Are You Gonna Be My
Girl" by Jet. "Music" by Madonna. Barry Manilow's
WORST SONGS AT VENUES: "La Bamba." "Love Shack" by the
B-52's. "Who Let the Dogs Out" by the Baha Men. "Tie Me Kangaroo
Down." Barry Manilow's "Copacabana."
MOST OVERPLAYED SONG: The Venga Boys' "We Like to Party."
Since the games started 2½ weeks ago, it feels like this insanely
catchy electronic ditty has been playing at some sporting event or
soiree every second of every day. (Or maybe it's just stuck in our

The team blog of the Expression Blend and Design
Click here to watch Kenny's MIX 2010 session that covers a lot of the topics that you see in this post.
- Kirupa
In Expression Blend, we've been thinking for a loooong time about how to make it ever easier to create great animated visual effects quickly on top of the Silverlight and WPF runtimes. We've been looking at large-scale animation needs since Blend 2 SP1 and steadily building features to address those needs, and we think we've reached critical mass. With Blend 4, we have a compelling set of technologies that work very well together.
This blog post is a companion to the "Dynamic Layout and Transitions" demo app that we've placed in the Expression Gallery at http://gallery.expression.microsoft.com/en-us/DynamicLayoutTrans. That app shows off the features whose motivations are described here.
Since its inception, Blend has offered keyframed editing of Silverlight and WPF properties via Storyboards. While I won't go into specific details on that here, it forms the basis for all the features described below. Some of these features work directly from Storyboards you create and others create Storyboards behind the scenes on your behalf – and sometimes both.
Let's start by turning the clock back two years. In Expression Blend 2 SP1, we introduced the States Panel, which edits VisualStates and VisualStateGroups for Silverlight 2 (and WPF 3.5 with the WPF Toolkit). This introduced the notion of a "state" as a means of communication between visuals and code, and made it dramatically easier to describe a set of visual changes. Based on input, the control code could decide when to enter what state, and the visuals would decide what changes were present in that state plus how long it took to transition between any pair of states (e.g. you might want most state changes to take 0.25s, but want Pressed state changes to be instantaneous).
This proved to be a very effective tool, but it had limitations. The core VisualStateManager runtime (which we'll call "VSM" from now on) could only do linear interpolations of the values being set. This works great for opacity and transform offsets, but doesn't work well for discrete properties or data that isn't known until runtime. Also, not all animation scenarios are driven by state changes. So we put our thinking caps on about how we could get more scenarios to work in a way that designers could rapidly tool the effects.
In V3, we added four primary enhancements in this area. The first was EasingFunctions, which are critical to making property animations have the right feel. We've got all the classics – quadratics, cubics, bounce, elastic, etc. Plus, you can write your own EasingFunction in C# or VB and apply it to any animation you wish. This is all supported in Silverlight 3 and WPF 4. EasingFunctions can be applied to an individual animation or keyframe, and you can apply a default EasingFunction to your entire state transition.
The second was a GoToStateBehavior on top of Blend's Behaviors engine, which made it easy to program all your state change logic directly in the markup without code. Like all of Blend's Behaviors, you can simply drag it from our Asset Panel onto any elements you choose.
Those two enhancements just made the existing scenarios run better. We also wanted to address new classes of scenario. The first one we tackled was the issue of elements moving in a StackPanel or WrapPanel. Traditionally, these elements have snapped into place as an application changes elements or changes size, and we wanted a smooth transition that users could control. So we introduced the FluidMoveBehavior to make it easy for an element to watch the layout manager for when it moved to a new spot, and smooth out its progress with an animation controlled by one of those EasingFunctions we described earlier. So now it's easy to have your elements animate into place at a speed you choose!
Here's a picture of the feature in action. There's no more room on the first line for the purple rectangle, so it's moving to the beginning of the second row and the other elements are moving to make space. Technically, from a layout perspective, the elements in motion are actually at their destinations already – but by adding the appropriate transforms on top, we make the change look smooth from the visual perspective that users care about.
The fourth enhancement we made was the most challenging for us. We noticed that many times, customers wanted different states in their control to have different layouts entirely, but still respond to active layout changes in the application. For example, one layout might have a set of task panes visible outside the working area, and another might have one or more of these panes hidden. Customers wanted to describe these different layouts with states to get a good separation between their visuals and their business logic, but the properties that needed to change between these states weren't properties that could be smoothly interpolated. For example, how do you interpolate between Visibility.Visible and Visibility.Collapsed?
What we learned was that in cases like these, users weren't satisfied with the direct property animations that our system provided – they just wanted it to "look right", and making it "look right" required that we animate a morph of the change rather than the change itself. So we wrote an engine that would take a layout snapshot before the state change, take another layout snapshot after the state change, and create a smooth morph between the start and end positions, employing the duration and EasingFunction of the user's choosing. We dubbed this "FluidLayout", and you can turn it on here:
Just click that little button, and all your layout changes in that VisualStateGroup will be animated between states even when it seems impossible. We'll even simulate a Visibility change by means of an opacity simulation. Note that you'll have more success if you click this before you start making layout changes – otherwise, when you move an object, it'll create translate/scale animations that don't respect layout, because that's the best that the standard VSM can do.
It's hard to do justice to this feature in a picture, but here's my best attempt. In this example, the Timeline Pane is in the process of shrinking to the leftmost column, which I configured by changing the Pane's Grid.ColumnSpan property in a state. Similarly, I changed the RowSpan of the pink rectangle, and it is in the process of growing taller as a result.
In Blend 4, we've managed to take these themes even farther, and have three more toys for designers to play with. Let's start with animating things in and out of lists. In V3, you could apply a FluidMoveBehavior to your ListBox, and the other items would dutifully make room for your new item or close up the space. But there wasn't any easy way to effectively control the item that was itself being added or removed; if you were clever, you could rig up some events to make an element animate on entry, and you had to be really really clever (and pollute your data model in unfortunate ways) to make an element animate on exit. We worked closely with the Silverlight team to produce a solution here that you can tool effectively, and it's called LayoutStates. To find them, first edit the ItemContainerStyle:
And then, note these three new VisualStates in the States Panel:
You can use these states to model what an element looks like just before it's loaded, what it looks like after it's been loaded, and what it looks like just before it's unloaded. Silverlight will then animate the state changes for you at the appropriate times, as your items are added to or removed from the list. Remember to add a FluidMoveBehavior to the ItemsPanel template (note its presence in the Edit Additional Templates submenu, a couple of pictures above), and set AppliesTo = Children, to get the other elements to move out of the way. Note that if your ItemsPanel is a VirtualizingStackPanel, your ListBox should have VirtualizingStackPanel.VirtualizationMode set to Standard, or you should learn one of the other new tricks below.
Here's an example of this in action – the middle item is just entering the list.
The next feature we added is another in the vein of simulation. In V3, we added FluidLayout to VSM in order to get a smooth and realistic morph between two states, but it got us to thinking about the other sorts of morphs we could perform. Enter TransitionEffects. Whereas transition effects in video editing provide a pixel-based transition from one video clip to another, Blend's TransitionEffects provide a pixel-based transition from one state to another. In Blend, a TransitionEffect is a PixelShader that has an animatable Progress property. We are shipping several of these in our SDK, and if you know HLSL you can write your own. Here's how you set one up:
As configured here, all state changes in the LayoutStates group will perform a "Smooth Swirl Grid" pixel-based TransitionEffect, taking one second and with a cubic ease. You can of course set a different transition for any individual state change if desired. Some of the TransitionEffects have properties to further customize them; for example, Smooth Swirl Grid lets you control the level of subdivision and the intensity of the twisting effect, but those properties are under the combo dropdown in the picture. Here's a screenshot of that TransitionEffect in action:
The final feature we added is something that we've been trying to wrap our minds around for five years. We've noticed that in a lot of applications, visuals will move from one part of the application to another even though the visuals are often generated from data. In a true MVVM design where the data model should know nothing about the visuals, it's extremely challenging to get these kinds of effects.
What we've done is train the visuals to learn more about the data model – specifically, to train FluidMoveBehavior to associate positions with data instead of with visuals. This needs a little bit of explanation, but is remarkably easy to use – you can create an animated list-detail example from scratch in about two minutes.
Here's a picture of such an app:
What we want is for the large chair in the details view to appear to grow out of the small chair in the master list. All we have to do is locate the Image element in the ItemTemplate for the ListBox, and give it a FluidMoveTagSetBehavior that will register it with the FluidMove system. That looks like this:
Note that the Tag property indicates that element will be tagged according to its DataContext, which is the model item behind the visuals. Next, there's a FluidMoveBehavior on the detail Image, which looks like this:
The other half of the connection is made with the InitialTag field that is set to DataContext. This means that when the detail element appears, it will consider the registered position of its DataContext to be the place it will appear to come from. And that's the whole thing! Here's a screenshot of that app in action; note that in this case I set the FluidMoveBehavior on the entire Grid, so that the details would animate along with the image.
There's an awful lot happening behind the scenes, but we've managed to boil this complex scenario to these two simple properties. This system can even be used to animate objects from one list to another list.
If I had included all of our future investigations in this area, this blog post would be twice as long as it is already. We're working hard to address more and more scenarios in the simplest ways possible. Rest assured that you'll be hearing about even more improvements someday in the not too distant future!

Kenny Young Architect, Expression Blend
Hi Kenny,
Thanks for your response. Sorry for not being clear, I'll try again...
My test example has the following... a listbox showing a databound list of images and an image control that is bound to the listbox that shows the selected image.
I want to know if it is possible to add a fade transition to the image control that would fade out the current image -and then fade in the new.
I've had a look at the sample code you mentioned and the slide control looks like a item container -I'm not sure how I would the TransitionContentControl to work with an image control (would you be able to show/email a small example?)
Regarding the 'LayoutState' - I see what you mean there. I just thought that it would be possible to add this group to other controls -but your suggestion on using a TransiionContentControl is probably the way to go.
The fade on data change is something that is admittedly hard to do right now, but definitely cool. We've been thinking about it, and I have a prototype that is in too rough a shape to distribute; if I get time to polish it, I'll blog a followup.
Fantastic -I'll keep my eyes out for it.
I made a very simple WPF test in Blend 4. When I run the app, anywhere I click on the listbox crashes the app. If I remove the FluidMoveSetTagBehavior behavior from the itemtemplate, it doesn't crash, but, of course, there is no motion.
Any advice is appreciated.
You may download the solution here:
Congratulations Brad, you've found a bug! :-) We'll look into fixing this, but thankfully the workaround is very simple.
Your sample has this markup:
<DataTemplate x:Key="ItemTemplate">
<Image Source="{Binding Image}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="64" Width="64">
<ei:FluidMoveSetTagBehavior Tag="DataContext"/>
The issue is that the element with the FluidMoveSetTagBehavior has to have a more traditional parent. Just make this change and things will start to work:
<Image Source="{Binding Image}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="64" Width="64">
<ei:FluidMoveSetTagBehavior Tag="DataContext"/>
Thanks for the feedback!
Is the LayoutStates group available for Windows Phone 7 applications? I tried it in my WP7 application and it didn't work. Maybe I did something wrong.
Good question MH. You didn't do anything wrong, it's an oversight on our part and LayoutStates shouldn't be advertised in this scenario. We're aware of the issue and things will improve.
If the slideshow has only 2 pages, clicking fast twice on the top arrow (i.e. the second click happens before the first sliding animation ended) leads to a crash in TransitionContentControl.SetContent:
contentPresenter.Content = content;
--> Value does not fall within the expected range.
The correct URL for the MIX10 presentation mentioned at the header note in the article is: channel9.msdn.com/.../CL55
Nicely done!
Unfortunately it doesn't work for me. I tried it with your project and I experimented the same.
What I did:
I downloaded the file.
Opened with VS2010
Changed to .Net 4.0 and Silverlight 5
Complied - no problem.
When I run, I get no animation.
After that I opened it in Blend (for Silverlight 5) and I can't see any settings for LayoutStates...maybe I lost it during the -> SL5 conversion??? I don't know...
Ok, I tried to reproduce what you did but if I set default transition to 1s and I set any fx, I don't get any animation. I tried to set fx transitions to AfterLoad as well...but I got the same.
Do you have any idea?
So no examples then.. just bragging about features nobody knows how to use. Typical of an MSDN blog.
could you change Blog post to point or provide a link to the source sample.
Thank you in advance.

Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo Concept breaks cover [video]
Previews the styling of second-gen Panamera.
At the beginning of last month we talked about Porsche's intention of bringing to the Paris Motor Show a Panamera-inspired concept wagon and now we have the real deal. It's called the Panamera Sport Turismo Concept and aims to be a rival for the Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake, while adopting the styling we'll see in the new generation of the Panamera.
Noticing the "e-Hybrid" badge on the front door, chances are that Porsche plans a plug-in hybrid variant for the second-gen Panamera. The attractive headlights are not entirely new, as we've seen a similar design in recent models wearing the Porsche badge, such as the 918 Spyder and the new Boxster.
More details to follow soon…

I'll state the obvious - This car needs a liftback to revive the 928. The front already looks awesome.

This sure looks a whole lot better. It reminds me a bit of the 2006 audi roadjet. But I still can't see how porsche would make a car like a e class, the cayun or something. The panamera is almost the same size. Better do a 4door panamera convertible

Yes, this time it looks like it should be. Nice

Really like it has a much more muscular stance than the current version...like the new front headlights the rear is an improvement...the rear lights do remind me of the saab 9 5 but the interior is awesome...i really loved the 918 interior so nice to see its style in the main stream

This looks great! It's what the Panamera should have been from the start.

I alwas had something to complain about the Panamera but there is something special about it. This concept though looks special and so gorgeous. Just do it Porsche.

The design i beautiful, but it seem that nobody comments the interior which is the best I've seen so far.
Sep 26, 2012 1:16 pm
I am assuming that since its a concept the interior will not look like that for the production model.

I'm really glad they finally mended the previously hideous rear of the Panamera. It's very encouraging for the next gen !

Cannot recall when a Porsche equivalent looked better than Mercedes
