Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng): Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) is the new graphical subsystem of the Microsoft .NET Framework.
The underlying concepts, as well as the programming model, are quite different from previous Microsoft technologies, and best practices and suitable architectures are still evolving.
This thesis evaluates the applicability of traditional view-oriented design patterns to WPF.
A strategy for communicating pattern information to developers is also devised.

The patterns being evaluated are Model-View-Controller, Model-View-Presenter, Presentation-Abstraction-Control, and the variations Presentation Model, Supervising Controller, and Passive View.
Two patterns that are specifically conceived for WPF, Model-View-ViewModel and DataModel-View-ViewModel, are also included and compared to the traditional patterns.

The patterns are evaluated in a series of interviews with software architects, resulting in Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) being deemed as the most suitable pattern for achieving maintainability in WPF applications.
The conclusion is tested by implementing a part of a real-world application using MVVM, and performing a code review on the implementation.

The code review confirms that MVVM is one of the most suitable patterns for WPF applications.
Four variants of MVVM taking on characteristics of the traditional patterns are identified.
A survey together with the interviews concludes that to communicate a pattern to developers, a short text describing the pattern, together with a reference implementation and simple diagrams are needed.
An introductory interactive presentation session and the concept of a pattern mentor are also suggested.
