| When Hard Realtime Matters: Software for Complex Mechatronic Systems |  Klas Nilsson Dept of Computer Science, Lund |
Working as an associate professor at the Department of Computer Science, Klas Nilsson is involved in several research projects and is teaching in Real-Time
Programming. That is also the subject for his research which includes Robot Control Systems and related software technologies. He cares about implementation and
industrially relevant test cases. For instance, the Laboratory for Application Languages and the Real-Time Garbage Collector developed within his group have been used for
programming and real-time control of industrial robots from ABB. These robots that they use are available at the Dept. of Automatic Control, in the Robotics and Real-Time
Laboratory which he takes care of as part of ongoing research projects financed by ARTES and NUTEK. Klas Nilsson’s background is from Mechanical Engineering at LTH but with extra courses in mathematics, control theory, computer technology (hardware), and software technology (programming). He worked six years at ABB Robotics Products with development of motion control systems. Needing more control theory, he went back to Lund for graduate studies at the Department of Automatic Control. Taking a problem-oriented approach to improve the control of industrial robots, the research brought him more into the field of computer science. After finishing his Ph.D. thesis, he went back to ABB Robotics Products where he worked with new software principles for robot programming. Being settled in southern Sweden, however, he is now back in Lund at the Department of Computer Science. |

| Experiences with nearshoring to Russia | "This presentation about experiences on nearshoring software product development activities to Russia will cover some good practices as well as challenges in building the relationship. Aim of the presentation is to share the experiences and provide some insight to what we have learned during the process." |  Joni Lehtomäki Solid Information Technology |
Joni Lehtomäki is working in Solid Information Technology in Finland as General Manager and Vice President of Product Development. His professional experiences include managing several outsourcing and nearshoring cases. |
| Requirements Engineering in platform subcontracting | "When dealing with software intensive systems in complex value chains companies soon realize that their requirement processes span over several organisational borders. This makes the classical challenge of making trade-off among quality requirements even harder. This talk provides experiences in requirements engineering at Sony Ericsson with cross-organisational requirements engineering in a product line context and presents a novel method called QUPER that supports effective roadmapping of quality requirements in platform development." |  Björn Regnell Dept of Computer Science, Lund |
Björn Regnell is professor in Software Engineering at Lund University and is also part time senior researcher at the CTO Office at Sony Ericsson. He has published more than 60 research papers with a main focus on market-driven requirements engineering, and his research is conducted in close cooperation with industry. |
| Presentation, demo and discussion of Merlin Handbook | "The Merlin project has developed a collaboration handbook, called MerlinHandbook, a tool supporting collaborative software development. The internet-based handbook provides concrete solutions to support collaboration in practice; they are collected from a large number of experiences from industrial companies. Also, literature resources are included to guarantee a solid methodological basis for decision making. MerlinHandbook covers various collaboration modes and describes solutions to success in the critical activities of collaborative product development project. This presentation will introduce the handbook and give an overview of it’s contents." |  Päivi Parviainen VTT Finland |
Mrs. Päivi Parviainen received her M.Sc. in Information processing science from the University of Oulu, 1996. She is currently working as a Senior Research Scientist in the Software development innovations Team at VTT in Oulu, Finland. She has experience in software process improvement, measurement, software reuse, software development tools and their integration, systems and software requirements engineering and global software development practices, for example. Currently she is in research exchange in Eindhoven, the Netherlands (since September 2005). |
| Presentation and discussion of Merlin Toolchain | "Industrial experiences show that the impact of tools on embedded development is increasing in view of the increasing functionality, complexity of systems,
and the trend towards collaborative development. The state-of-the-art of software development tools shows, however, that tools are in general poorly integrated or
poorly integrable, leading to laborious manual intervention and consequent introduction of errors. In the Merlin project a ToolChain has been developed for distributed collaborative embedded system development, focusing on integrability of existing tools. In this presentation an overview will be given of the concept and results of the ToolChain development, and the experiences so far." |

| SCM Metrics — or Metrics for SCM? | &SCM people have for years supplied metrics data to the rest of the software organization because we sit on the repository, which is a literal gold mine of
data waiting to be mined. Various parts of the organization have used these metrics to measure their efficiency and the effect of changes, to plan and schedule resources,
and to monitor processes. We believe it is about time SCM started using this gold mine of data themselves to pull out metrics to provide the same benefits for the people, processes and tools that SCM is responsible for.
It turns out to be easier said than done, and this presentation is the tale of our odyssey through metrics theory and techniques, literature overview of previous work

| Real 3D Graphics — presentation & demo CANCELLED! |
"In this talk, I will present some of the underlying techniques for real three-dimensional displays. Both lenticular displays and displays based on parallax barriers. While these give a true three-dimensional experience for the human viewer without needing to wear any special glasses or other peripherals. The problem is that the bandwidth usage and amount of computations to generate an image can increase between 2 and 100 times. We will present some possible solutions to this." |  Tomas Akenine-Möller Dept of Computer Science, Lund |

| Computer vision, geometric problems and polynomial equations | "Understanding of the interplay between camera position, scene structure and images have been studied by artists, photographers, and researchers within surveying, photogrammetry and computer vision. Algorithms that solve for scene structure and camera motion using images are used today in such diverse areas as special effects for movies, navigation of autonomous vehicles, software for calibration of industrial robots and crime scene investigations. In this talk I will give a short history of these so called structure and motion problem and give a examples of our current research in this area." |  Karl Åström Dept of Mathematics, Lund |

| Utveckling av informationssystem |
"Digitala bibliotek (Digital Libraries) är en framväxande, tvärvetenskaplig forskningsdisciplin som behandlar elektroniska biblioteks- och
informationstjänster via datornätverk. Den omfattar frågeställningar kring hur man snabbt finner relevant information i den explosivt
växande mängden av elektroniskt tillgängliga informationsresurser. Några metoder kommer att exemplifieras med hur man bygger en vertikal (eller ämnesspecifik) sökmaskin. Metoderna är bl.a. utvecklade i EU-projektet ALVIS — Superpeer Semantic Search Engine och i Combine som är ett ett öppet, fritt system för ämnes-specifik Web-crawling." |

| Framtidens programvaruforskning | "Att prediktera framtiden inom datorutveckling är dömt att misslyckas. Tänk bara på det berömda citatet av en IBM-chef om antalet datorer. Men här finns möjlighet att påverka framtiden. Tre professorer vid LTH presenterar vad de vill forska på. Vad är relevant och intressant för er?" |  Krzysztof Kuchcinski Dept of Computer Science, Lund
|
Krzysztof Kuchcinski is a professor of Computer Science at the Department of Computer Science, Lund University. He received the MSc and PhD degrees in computer
engineering and computer science from Gdansk University of Technology, Poland, in 1977 and 1984, respectively. He currently leads the ESDlab (Embedded Systems Design
Laboratory). His research interests concentrate on design methods for embedded systems at the architectural level, and in particular, on embedded system analysis and
synthesis, hardware/software co-design, and design modeling and evaluation. In his research he uses extensively constraint programming methods and the JaCoP solver
specially developed in his group to solve embedded system design problems. Prof. Kuchcinski is a co-author of the book on "System Synthesis with VHDL". He is the
editor-in-chief of Journal of Systems Architecture and a program committee member for several leading conferences on electronic design and design automation. Dr. Per Runeson is a professor in software engineering at Lund University, Sweden, and is the academic leader of the Software Engineering Research Group. He has a special researcher position from the Swedish National Research Foundation 2005-2010. His research interests include methods to facilitate, measure and manage various aspects of software quality, especially testing and inspection methods as well as agile methods. The research has a strong empirical focus including cooperation with major companies. He received a PhD from Lund University in 1998 and has five years of industrial experience as a consulting expert in software engineering. Prof. Runeson is ranked 12th worldwide in R. Glass ranking of SSE research scholars. He is a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Empirical Software Engineering and several program committees. Professor Karl-Erik Årzén's research is concentrated in two fields: real-time control systems and industrial process automation. He has also made research contributions in control of combustion engines and in fuzzy control. Within real-time control systems the work has been concentrated in three fields: integrated control and real-time scheduling, control and computing co-design tools, and domain-specific languages for control applications. The work on integrated control and real-time scheduling has been focused on developing control design and implementation methods that take limited computing and communication resources into account. This type of implementation-aware temporally robust control is particularly relevant for embedded control systems. The work on co-design tools have resulted in the Jitterbug and TrueTime tools which are available for public download. A series of graphical domainspecific "small" languages (Grafchart, High-level Grafchart, JGrafchart) have been developed for supervisory-level control applications of a sequential and state-machine based nature. Årzén has a very good international position within the field. He has been chairman or vicechairman of the relevant technical committees within the field and is regularly a member of the program committee for real-time and embedded system conferences. He has a leading role within the EU IST FP6 NoE ARTIST2 on design of embedded systems and is responsible for Lund's participation in the EU IST FP6 integrated project RUNES (Reconfigurable Ubiquitous Networked Embedded Systems. |
