Title of Keynote: Agile and Agile Testing in the Industry

Abstract

Without question, generally agile has transformed the software industry in a good way. In agile, getting the testing done is the job of everyone in the team. Yes, testers do execute test. Developers do too. Hence, what are the common key characteristics can be emulated the same in your team or organization in order to implement a successful agile team/organisation? We will go through if ?Agile & Agile testing? is the key of everything in getting the software at the highest quality and how this work in practice? Next, what are my observation as of now in term of 'Agile' & 'Agile testing' penetration in Malaysia itself. What do we do really well and what are areas for improvement?

Keynote speaker 2 : Assoc. Prof. Dr Wan Mohd Nasir Wan Kadir

Wan Mohd Nasir Wan Kadir is an Associate Professor in Software Engineering (SE) Dept., Faculty of Computing, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). He received his BSc. from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, MSc. from UMIST, and Ph.D. in the field of Software Engineering from The University of Manchester.

Title of Keynote: Issues and Challenges in Service-Oriented Software Engineering

Abstract

A highly dynamic and flexible software is extremely needed to support the increasing complexity of business environment. Service-oriented software (SOS) is one of the widely accepted solutions in addressing this issue. SOS is developed by composing a set of loosely coupled reusable services, mostly from heterogeneous operating environment. However, the different nature of SOS, such as the dynamic discovery and binding of software services during runtime, and the large number of the available services and their combinations, introduces new challenges to the traditional software engineering approaches. This talk examines the issues and challenges related to service-oriented software engineering (SOSE). It starts with a brief introduction of SOS and followed by examining the current SOSE development and evaluation approaches. It highlights the research issues, challenges, and opportunities in terms of the capability of existing modeling and evaluation approaches in addressing important aspects of SOS such as engineering of services and their composition.
