The CHOOSE executive board is pleased to invite you to a presentation by Lukas Renggli (netstyle.ch) on 'Seaside: Building Complex Web Applications Simply'. This event is free for all SI-CHOOSE members, even the drinks after the talk! Non-CHOOSE members are encouraged to fill out the membership application form (http://www.s-i.ch/si-appl.html) before attending the meeting. If you want to know more about CHOOSE and the events which CHOOSE organises, please visit http://www.choose.s-i.ch/. NOTE: registration for this event is required. Please fill out the registration form at the end of this e-mail. Seaside: Building Complex Web Applications Simply ====================================== 20 April 2004 at 17h30 Institut fuer Wirtschaftsinformatik (IWI), Universitaet Bern, Engehaldenstrasse 8, 3012 Bern, Hoersaal 001 Travel instructions: http://www.iam.unibe.ch/~scg/Resources/Maps/ Abstract ====== Seaside is a framework for developing sophisticated web applications in Smalltalk. In this talk I will present some of its unique features, such as its approach to session management: unlike servlet models that require a separate handler for each page or request, Seaside models an entire user session as a continuous piece of code, with natural, linear control flow. Furthermore I will create a small web-application as a demo together with the audience and present a complex production web-site that has been built using Seaside. Seaside: http://beta4.com/seaside2/ Speaker ====== Lukas Renggli (netstyle.ch) is specialist in the development of web applications and content management systems. He is expert in Zope and web solutions, the designer of SmallWiki, a content management application entirely based on objects. Lukas Renggli is currently working for netstyle.ch. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- REGISTRATION ------------ Please DO NOT reply to this e-mail!

[choose] Initial Software Project Cost Estimation -- Mon Apr 5 -- Uni Bern
by Igor Metz 22 Feb '04

22 Feb '04

The CHOOSE executive board is pleased to invite you to a presentation by Simon Moser (The SEE Group) on 'Initial Software Project Cost Estimation'. This event is free for all SI-CHOOSE members, even the drinks after the talk! Non-CHOOSE members are encouraged to fill out the membership application form (http://www.s-i.ch/si-appl.html) before attending the meeting. If you want to know more about CHOOSE and the events which CHOOSE organises, please visit http://www.choose.s-i.ch/ NOTE: registration for this event is required. Please fill out the registration form at the end of this e-mail. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Initial Software Project Cost Estimation ======================================== Monday, April 5, 2004 @ 17h30 - 19h00 Institut fuer Wirtschaftsinformatik (IWI), Universitaet Bern, Engehaldenstrasse 8, 3012 Bern, Hoersaal 001 Travel instructions: http://www.iam.unibe.ch/~scg/Resources/Maps/ Speaker ------- Dr. Simon Moser Agenda ------ 17h30 - 18h30 Talk and Q/A Afterwards you are invited to a refreshment. Abstract ======== Software projects are notoriously difficult to schedule and estimate. This is true for new development as well as for the integration and adaptation of standard software or components. While reasonably precise estimates may be based on models of the business requirements (using UML or equivalent modelling languages), the process of establishing such models is itself a difficult undertaking and . painfully costly. A possibly useful alternative is offerd with Pre-UML based estimation of the System Meter Method. Although still not able to come up with good estimates from the project's name alone, its modelling requirements are modest. The precision of those estimates ranges from +/-20% to +/-35% at a 2-Sigma confidence level. Bio === Simon Moser is an expert in cost estimation and is the originator of the System Meter. He defended his PhD thesis on Measurement and Estimation of Software and Software Processes in 1996 at the University of Bern. He is currently Chair of the SEE Group, which specializes in Software Engineering and Estimation. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- REGISTRATION ------------ Please DO NOT reply to this e-mail!

[choose] Integrationsbroker konkret -- Tue Mar 16 -- Uni Bern
by Igor Metz 22 Feb '04

22 Feb '04

The CHOOSE executive board is pleased to invite you to a presentation by Bernhard Rytz (ELCA) on 'Integrationsbroker konkret'. This event is free for all SI-CHOOSE members, even the drinks after the talk! Non-CHOOSE members are encouraged to fill out the membership application form (http://www.s-i.ch/si-appl.html) before attending the meeting. If you want to know more about CHOOSE and the events which CHOOSE organises, please visit http://www.iam.unibe.ch/CHOOSE. NOTE: registration for this event is required. Please fill out the registration form at the end of this e-mail. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Integrationsbroker konkret ========================== Tuesday, March 16, 2004 @ 17h00 Institut für Wirtschaftsinformatik (IWI), Universität Bern, Engehaldenstrasse 8, 3012 Bern, Hörsaal 002 Travel instructions: http://www.iam.unibe.ch/~scg/Resources/Maps/ Speaker ------- Berhard Rytz, ELCA SA Agenda ------ 17h00 - 18h00 Talk and Q/A Afterwards you are invited to a refreshment. Abstract ======== Integrationsbroker und EAI-Werkzeuge versprechen Unterstützung in allen technischen Belangen der Integration heterogener Systeme. Der Umfang dieser Werkzeuge, die Dominanz des Marketings und fehlende Vergleichsmöglichkeiten erschweren jedoch die Beurteilung der Eignung für ein gegebenes Problem. Dies ist einer der Gründe, weshalb in den Unternehmen immer noch viele Integrationsaufgaben mit ad-hoc Mitteln gelöst werden und weshalb der Einsatz (resp. Nicht-Einsatz) eines Integrationsbrokers manchmal zur Glaubensfrage wird. Wir präsentieren ein einfaches Referenzmodell zur Beurteilung von Integrationsbrokern und erklären typische Integrationsszenarien. Im Sinne eines einfachen Benchmarking werden wir zeigen, wie verschiedene Integrationsbroker in diesen Szenarien zum Einsatz kommen, was die Werkzeuge effektiv können und mit welchen Herausforderungen zu rechnen ist. Der Vortrag wird in deutscher Sprache gehalten! Bio === Bernhard Rytz arbeitet als Architekt und Projektleiter für die Firma ELCA (www.elca.ch), einen führenden Schweizer IT-Dienstleister mit über 300 Ingenieuren. Herr Rytz hat sich seit 8 Jahren auf verteilte Systeme und Integrationsprojekte spezialisiert. In diesem Gebiet hat er mehrere grosse Firmen im Finanz- und Telekombereich dabei unterstützt, bestehende Systeme zu modernisieren, Legacy-Systeme zu integrieren und systematische Integrationsplattformen zu definieren. Zur Zeit untersucht er vertieft Integrationslösungen im Portalbereich. Im Nebenamt unterrichtet Bernhard Rytz seit 1997 an der FH Solothurn "object-oriented software engineering". Seine Ausbildung absolvierte er an der Carnegie Mellon University und der ETH Lausanne, welche er mit einem Dipl. Ing. Informatik ETH abschloss. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- REGISTRATION ------------ Please DO NOT reply to this e-mail!
