Tutorial
1.1: The
polychronous MoCC and its use
as semantic backbone for embedded systems
This tutorial shall
briefly review formalisms based on the synchronous paradigm (Simulink,
Statemate, the synchronous languages) and introduce the Signal language
as one instance of the polychronous paradigm. Polychrony offers
parallelism and concurrency. The associated composition operation is
simplest possible, mathematically: regard a program as a set of
stateful equations and interpret parallel composition as systems of
such equations. (Examples of stateful equations are differential or
difference equations).

Tutorial 2.1: Planning, Estimating
and Learning in an Agile Project
One of the key activities within agile development is
continuous planning. Using short feedback cycles the whole team will be
able to improve the estimates and help the customer to understand what
his or her requirements really are. This will make the planning more
and more precise over time and allows for strategic software
development and risk reduction. After a short presentation,
participants will experience how this can be done in practice. This
simulation will illustrate agile estimation methods, the concept of
(development) velocity and as well continuous Learning via
retrospectives.

Tutorial 3.1: Web 2.0 - Business
Model and Technologies
Part 1: Web
2.0, an overview
Presenting Web 2.0. Web 2.0 is not just a technology. Sociology and new
business models are playing an important part in Web 2.0. This section
will give a shallow overview of the various facets of Web 2.0 and
will set the stage for the next sections.
Part 2: The client side -
AJAX and Mashups
AJAX is an important building block of the Web 2.0 applications. In
this part we will delve into AJAX:
How its work, How did it improve the usability of web applications,
Shortcomings, Frameworks, Future trends
Part 3: The server side -
REST, ATOM and JSON
REST forms the basis for most server side work in Web 2.0. Moreover,
the pure REST is only part of a large family of conventions known as
REST. This part will present REST, with its most known variants and
will present the ATOM Publishing Protocol as an incarnation of REST.
