SOLID & ISERN - Dieter’s questions 1/2SOLID & ISERN - Dieter’s questions 1/2
• What you intend to do with ISERN members?– Industrial experiments, case studies– Sharing industrial experiences, packaging results– Joint projects & publishing
• Joint EU proposals• Other joint projects
– Provide ESE challenges in a fast growing SME environment• Often similar to fast growing units in large companies
– Controlled introduction of new technology (SOLID, ISERN coaching, Application provider)
– Exhange of personnel
SOLID & ISERN - Dieter’s questions 2/2SOLID & ISERN - Dieter’s questions 2/2
• What benefits we see from ISERN for SOLID?– Technology transfer– Using the expertise of other members in coaching– Networking with top SE researchers– Exchanging experiences with other industrial
members
