(Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this
Call for Participation) "Hardware: those parts of the system
you can kick. Software: those
parts of the system you can merely curse" (anon). ChiliPLoP2005 Hot Topic - Call for
Participation At
the coming ChiliPLoP (March 22-25) we are going to hold a Hot Topic on the
subject of Design for
Maintainability - Maintainability by Design We
believe that maintainability is the next evolutionary step of software design:
With the technological advances and the expansion of computer literacy today�s
customers and end users set their expectations higher then the previous
generations. Customers want the product to meet their needs, wants and passions
throughout its useful life. This next evolutionary phase, focused on making the
useful product maintainable throughout its life cycle is the center of our Hot
Topic workshop. Our hot topic will explore
questions such as: -
How can we improve maintainability? -
What would you change in the design of a product so it could get better support,
once deployed? -
How can we help the people who work on product development to become more
familiar with the deployment environment � the users, the ecosystem they live
in, their needs, wants and pains? -
How should we work with various disciplines (e.g. marketing, documentation,
training, quality assurance and product design) throughout product development
so we can provide better solutions to maintainability issues?
-
How can we improve feedback throughout the various phases in the product
development process? We'll be glad to see you
there! Amir & Ofra * You
