Tutorial - Composition-Oriented Software Engineering
 Jan Bosch VP, Engineering Process, Intuit Inc., Mountainview, CA, USA |
Title Composition-Oriented Software Engineering Details 9.00am to 12.30pm, Abstract Large scale software development, as found in software product lines, software ecosystems and in global software development, tends to result in slow iteration cycles, large teams and complex quality issues. With the increasing complexity of large systems, the coordination cost becomes prohibitively expensive. This is due to the fact that software development organizations tend to take an overly integration-oriented approach to software development. The tutorial addresses this concern by first analyzing the problems resulting from integration-oriented software development and then presenting an integral alternative approach addressing architectural, process and organizational dimensions that, when combined, develop an organization’s ability to deliver large scale software systems against significantly improved cost and time investments. Biography Jan Bosch is VP, Engineering Process at Intuit Inc. Earlier, he was head of the Software and Application Technologies Laboratory at Nokia Research Center, Finland. Before joining Nokia, he headed the software engineering research group at the University of Groningen, The Netherlands, where he holds a professorship in software engineering. He received a MSc degree from the University of Twente, The Netherlands, and a PhD degree from Lund University, Sweden. His research activities include software architecture design, software product families, software variability management and component-oriented programming. He is the author of a book "Design and Use of Software Architectures: Adopting and Evolving a Product Line Approach" published by Pearson Education (Addison-Wesley & ACM Press), (co-)editor of several books and volumes in, among others, the Springer LNCS series and (co-)author of a significant number of research articles. He is editor for Science of Computer Programming, has been guest editor for journal issues, chaired several conferences as general and program chair, served on many program committees and organized numerous workshops. As a consultant, as a professor and as an employee, Jan has worked with and for many companies on strategic reuse in general and software product lines specifically, including Philips, Thales Naval Netherlands, Robert Bosch GmbH, Siemens, Nokia, Ericsson, Tellabs, Avaya, Tieto Enator and Det Norska Veritas. Around software product lines, he has published on, advised and implemented specific techniques and methods around, among others, software architecture, software variability management, the link to business strategy, organizational models, assessment frameworks, adoption frameworks and quality attributes. More information about his background can be found at his website: www.janbosch.com. When not working, Jan divides his time between his family, a spouse and three young boys, reading science fiction and sports, preferably long distance running, swimming, biking and horseback riding. |
