Update for BKCASE Workshop VI Part V: Implementation Examples John Brackett, Aaron Chia, Heidi Davidz, Kevin Forsberg, Richard Freeman, Tom Hilburn, Alex Lee, Alice Squires

Workshop VI Deliverables & Expectations Deliverables for Workshop –Adjudication of SEBoK.25 comments and flag major issues for discussion –Outline of Part including topics and authors –Major terminology required for each Part –Some primary references Initial materials submitted to the core team April 1 –Part team leads expected to brief progress at Workshop VI (each team has 30 minutes)

Purpose The purpose of SEBoK – Guide to the body of knowledge – Not duplicating the body of knowledge, so not copying over the case studies in their entirety The purpose of Part V – Illustrate the topics from the other parts – Examples which other part authors reference – Help with the development of SE courses – GRCSE will also use the matrix mapping topics to examples

Adjudication of 0.25 Adjudication complete Key themes: – Suggestions to delete case studies – Suggestions to keep case studies – Recommendations for specific cases – Need expanded breadth of applications – Structural issues

Part V Topic Outline with Authors Full author team to contribute to each section Outline – Introduction – Matrix – Case Studies Description of case study Relating the example to SEBoK topics via the matrix Link to the case study material – Vignettes Description of something that happened Relating the example to SEBoK topics via the matrix Link to source material (if applicable)

Issues for Discussion Team decided to use both full case studies and more informal vignettes to cover more breadth in applications Only real examples used, no notional cases Need part topic outlines so we can populate the matrix linking case studies to SEBoK topics Prefer to build links between other parts and examples as part teams develop material Want examples to be available for other part teams while they do their writing Need agreement from author team on number and breadth of case studies and vignettes Cases available on Sakai for authors to reference
