New video: From informal architecture diagrams to flexible blended models
News

Architects commonly use informal diagrams for the early design and communication of software systems. Due to their notational freedom and effectiveness for communication, informal diagrams are often preferred over models with a fixed syntax and semantics as defined by a modeling language. But precisely because of this lack of established semantics, these diagrams are of limited use in later development stages for analysis tasks such as consistency checking or change

New video: Changing software-intensive business with ecosystems
Lunch seminars

  Speaker: Dr. Sami Hyrynsalmi, Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology LUT in Lahti, Finland During the last decade, ecosystems become a new standard way of working for businesses. Instead of working alone, companies are working together in loose networks for adding their strengths together. Yet, ecosystems still pose a number of open questions. This presentation takes a look on two rather different cases. The first part covers the ‘ecosystem health’ metaphor,
