Abstract: Mach’s schön. Am besten so schön und einfach wie das iPhone. So oder so ähnlich lauten oft die Vorgaben für die Gestaltung von digitalen Produkten. Dabei ist unklar, was Schönheit in diesem Zusammenhang bedeutet. Ist es das, was der Projektleiter schön findet? Oder ist es das, was die Anwender schön finden sollen? Dieser Vortrag vermittelt Einblicke, welche Faktoren die Schönheit bzw. Attraktivität eine Software oder eines Gerätes ausmachen. Sie lernen die Methoden des User Centered Design kennen, die verwendet werden können, um Produkte so attraktiv zu gestalten, dass sie am Markt erfolgreich sind. Speaker: Ulf Schubert ist Teamleiter User Experience Design und Standards bei DATEV eG in Nürnberg. Zu seinen Aufgabenbereichen gehören u.a. die anwenderorientierte Oberflächengestaltung und die User Experience der DATEV-Produkte. Zuvor arbeitete er mehrere Jahre als Usability Consultant und User Experience Designer u.a. bei SirValUse Consulting in Hamburg. Er berichtet in seinem User Experience Blog über Neuigkeiten der Branche und den Erfahrungen aus seiner täglichen Arbeit (www.ux-blog.de). Test-Driven Development (TDD) is a small-scale process for software development which embraces design, programming and unit testing in a unified approach. TDD is one of the key practices of Agile development. This seminar teaches FAU students and personnel basic and advanced techniques for practicing TDD and discusses the usefulness of TDD in different contexts. Friends of the Open Source Research Group are also invited. Teaching language is German unless requested otherwise. Topics covered are: Continue reading Upcoming Class: Test-Driven Development with Johannes Link (One Time Only!) FAU students are already getting excited about Christa Schwanninger’s upcoming talk on Product Line Engineering in our Software Architecture class. The talk is free and open to the public!

Thank you, Wolfgang, for your continued help!
Continue reading Wolfgang Mauerer on Statistics in Nailing your Thesis The Information Systems folks in Nuremberg were able to arrange for a screening of the PHD movie (yes, PHD, not Ph.D. but still on target :-) on Dec 14, 2011. Check out their information. Below, for your enjoyment, the original movie trailer. Grad students of FAU, rejoice!

Abstract: Most products and solutions in industry are not built from scratch but reuse assets they share with a family of similar products. This is done to achieve some economic benefit, e.g. save cost, shorten time to market or ensure compatibility between products of a family. Product Line Engineering (PLE) is a common approach to address a business with a family of related software products. Instead of having separated development projects for each product in the family, products are built using a shared set of core assets, such as reference architectures and common infrastructure and domain-specific components. In PLE business considerations heavily shape architecture decisions. This talk introduces Product Line Engineering and describes the effect of business and scoping decisions on architecture decisions. Speaker: Christa Schwanninger is working as a System Architect at Siemens AG, Drive Technologies in Erlangen, and is responsible for implementing product line engineering techniques for several platforms. Until recently she worked for Siemens Corporate Technology as a researcher and consultant for software architecture topics for more than 14 years. She was actively involved in the development of systems for the telecommunication, automotive, automation and medical engineering domain. She led a team of researchers and consultants responsible for product line engineering, system architecture and architecture reviews and still coordinates a Siemens wide PLE community. Christa has given tutorials and presentations on patterns, aspect-oriented software development and product lines within Siemens and externally at conferences like OOP and OOPSLA. This semester, we are looking at a fantastic line-up of industry speakers. Look forward with us to listening to:
All talks are open and free to the public. More information will be provided two weeks in advance of the talk. Today we discussed JP Morgan Chase’s presentation of “technology in banking” at Stanford’s EE380 class. Discussion notes from the blackboard below, as usual. Also, in the lower part of the blackboard, the power law result of a recent paper on the distribution of coupling relationships in Java. Continue reading ARCH-TALK BB Notes 2011-11-21 The chair of Geograhpy studies at LMU published an entrepreneurship ranking of German universities, see this PDF. FAU’s total score is in the top third, place 21, up from place 34 two years earlier. I’m not entirely sure how to interpret it, but one thing about FAU stands out: On the dimension of Entrepreneurship education, it scores bottom third, hurting its overall score. I’m not sure this is a fair assessment, or maybe if it is, the question of why needs to be asked. That the recent EXIST IV funding round directed all money to Munich, Bavaria’s capital, rather than some to Nuremberg, Bavaria’s second largest city, is not going to help. But if entrepreneurship education needs improvement, the OSR Group is doing its part. With FIRM, PROD, and AMOS we are offering three entrepreneurship related classes to students. In particular the AMOS lab course has spawned the Mydosis startup, which recently received seed stage funding of about EUR 100K. We are now working on the successor, Free Seas Ahoy! while still supporting Mydosis. From my (professorial) perspective, the ranking results support my current approach: Rather than trying to be a broad platform for many startups, I’m hands-on with exactly one startup per year. |
