Track: Lightning Talks & Interviews
Every session sonsists of 2 or 3 short sessions.
Friday
Green code
Green computing is always about energy efficient servers, hardware without hazardous materials and other things that appeal to hardware buffs. Cloud computing is fun, but what else can us programmers do to help the environment?
In this talk, Anders shows us how to be eco-friendly through writing better code and smarter business logic.
Anders Norås
Anders is a seasoned software developer and speaker. EJBs drove him to Microsoft .NET back in 2002. He made a name for himself in the .NET community using his Java-experiences to get a head start. Today he is a polyglot combining the best of all worlds to build better software. He has given talks on many conferences and user group meetings and is known for talks with few slides and lots of code. Anders lives in Norway where he works as the Chief Technology Evangelist for Objectware.
Go declarative! Beyond parsers and visitors for external DSLs
State-of-the-art tools for implementing external domain-specific languages include LL or LR parser generators and programming on abstract syntax trees using the visitor pattern. While these tools help substantially, there are tools that take you further. In this lightning talk we will give you some highlights of new research tools based on object-oriented declarative programming.
Görel Hedin
Görel Hedin is an associate professor at Lund University, Sweden. Her research interests include generative techniques, compilers and language tools, object-oriented languages and design, and agile methodologies.

Arduino as catalyst
Building technology for leisure can be become a profitable business.
How can this philosophy blend with the open-source discourse?
What happens when we look beyond software and start to think about bringing new physical tools into play?
This lecture is an introduction to the story of Arduino and bunch of business models growing around it.

Modelling a Database in 15 Minutes with Oslo
This demo only session will start with brainstorming an idea for a data model. The data model will then be defined using the Oslo “M” modelling language. Constraints and relations will be added to the model before it is compiled and used to create a working SQL Server Database. The presentation will also highlight many features of the “M” modelling language and how it can be used in real world scenarios to model databases and applications.

SOA Manifesto – background and result
The Agile Manifesto has become a leading star for agile software developers mainly due to the facts that it was written by thought leaders and in a format that really highlights some dilemmas that we often have to deal with. SOA has matured over the latest years and therefore a group of highly accomplished SOA practitioners saw it fit to create a SOA Manifesto using the format of the Agile Manifesto. The SOA Manifesto was recently worked out at the 2nd International SOA Symposium in Rotterdam
