Title: Software engineering research: just imagine if we didn't
ignore reality
Abstract:
Software is, of course, crucial to society, and thus we must continue
to improve our ability to effectively engineer software and software-
intensive systems. Software is also heavily criticized -- both
internally and externally -- for high costs, for high project failure
rates, for not improving at the rate of hardware, etc. But are these
and related criticisms indeed accurate -- even when backed by data --
and, even if they are, in what ways will they lead us towards our goal
of more effectively engineering software? Reframing questions like
these is the primary objective of the talk.

Informieren Sie sich durch hochkarätige Experten/innen aus der Industrie und den Hochschulen
über Konzepte und Anwendung der Agilen Softwareentwicklung und wie
sie in die Praxis umgesetzt werden kann und diskutieren Sie mit ihnen diese und weitere
brennende Themen und Fragestellungen zum Software Engineering aus Ihrer Praxis.
Die internationalen Experten Ralph Johnson (Patterns), Kevlin Henney (Pattern-oriented Software
Architecture), Nicolai Josuttis (SOA), Jutta Eckstein (Agile Software Entwicklung im Grossen)
und Software Engineering Professoren der Schweizer Fachhochschulen informieren in Vorträgen
und Workshops über neueste Trends und Best Practices.
Geniessen Sie einen gemeinsamen Abend mit den Experten am "Talk-And-Dine"-Abend, an dem sich
alle Teilnehmer in ungezwungener Atmosphäre mit den anwesenden Keynote-Speakers und Professoren
untereinander austauschen können.
