Presented by Adriana Vlasan at the Stages User Forum North American 2012, many discussions we had on this topic. A major benefit of using Stages are user optimized views of the process.
This document describes the revitalization of a Smalltalk-based ERP system called Component Studio. It discusses how the company Georg Heeg AG helped a client transition their legacy Cobol ERP with a character UI to a new system built in Smalltalk called Component Studio. Component Studio used an object-oriented framework approach with reusable business and technical components. Example components included sales, procurement, production planning and control. The document also provides examples of how Component Studio was implemented at a client company called Trelleborg ETM GmbH, including highlights like rapid order entry and integrated production order information.
The document discusses using Rhomobile, an open source mobile application development platform, to build apps that access SAP backend systems. It provides an overview of Rhomobile's components like Rhodes and RhoConnect, demonstrates connecting to SAP workflows via a REST service, and shows building a mobile app to approve purchase requisitions from SAP. The presentation evaluates Rhomobile positively but notes documentation and backend integration require some manual effort.
The document discusses prototyping and how it fits into lean startup principles. It defines a prototype as an incomplete version of a product, built quickly to test key features. Prototypes allow companies to build products, learn from customers, and measure results in rapid iteration. This fits the lean model of minimizing time in a build-measure-learn feedback loop. The document advocates testing hypotheses with users and being agile through multiple prototype iterations to solve customer problems rather than just delivering features.
We usually think of agility for software development — agility allows a small team to produce valuable software.
However, this is not the only place for agility. In this talk Dan discusses the «layering» of agility in a software- focused organization.
This layering starts at the bottom, with Agile Software Development (the writing of quality code), and ends at the top, with Agile Portfolio Management (the management of Projects, Programs, and Products for the good of the Organization).
In this (non-technical, yet entertaining) talk Dan develops a big picture showing how all the pieces fit together in a logical model.
The document discusses a case study of Freenet using the Camunda Fox platform to orchestrate several backend systems in long-running processes. The goals were to reduce costs compared to the previous individual solution and meet a fixed go-live date. Camunda Fox was chosen for its support of agile methodology, business-compatible BPMN 2.0 modeling, process monitoring and control capabilities, and integration with open source tools like JBoss and Git. Testing was a key part of ensuring transparency and reducing risks to meet the go-live deadline.
Estimating packaged software - Eric van der Vliet - NESMA najaarsbijeenkomst ...Nesma
The document proposes a generic framework for estimating the cost of implementing packaged software. It presents a model with size-dependent and size-independent cost drivers for the realization stage of implementation. The framework aims to standardize cost estimation and allow comparisons across different vendors and implementation partners. Next steps include expanding the model to cover the full implementation lifecycle and maintenance stages.

MINT-Composer – A Toolchain for the Model-based Specification of Post-WIMP In...Sebastian Feuerstack
With the introduction of new modes to control user interfaces like speech, gesture and multi-touch Post-WIMP interfaces increasingly substitute classical WIMP (windows, icons, menus, pointer) user interfaces.
In this paper, we describe a toolchain of three connected tools to design and monitor custom Post-WIMP interactors using model-based user interface design (MBUID) methods. We use state charts and mappings as the basic modeling technique. Different to other MBUID approaches our models are get created to specify the behavior of existing widgets. These models are then used to attach further control modes and connect interactors using mappings.
We explain the toolchain by an interactive music sheet web application that can be controlled by head movements to turn the sheets.
This document summarizes a presentation on SMW+ (Semantic MediaWiki Plus), an extension of Semantic MediaWiki. The presentation covered an overview of SMW+, hands-on sessions in basic authoring and tagging, and modeling ontologies. It discussed features like the WYSIWYG editor, faceted search, and the data and query interfaces. The audience participated in modeling an ontology on a whiteboard, populating it with data using forms, and querying the data. The goal was to introduce the semantic capabilities of SMW+ and have the participants practice basic and advanced authoring and tagging.

Content needs to be written differently when you primary delivery is on smart phones or tablets. Shorter sentence structure and reduced word count, as well as principles from SEO are recommended.
Unfortunately, most of us don't write this way; we write until we fill up a laptop or computer screen. Also, our eyes can "remember" more on a sheet of paper or large screen than we can in transient "thumb fuls" of smart phone paragraphs.
Try the exercises developed by Maxwell Hoffmann of Adobe, and you will be surprised at how easy it is to "think different / write diffe
