40 participants at Dr. Dan Csontos’ Workshop, PhD-students, and PhDs, all enthusiastic. Good discussions on how to get your paper through the editor’s gate with elegantly formulated cover letters. If that does not work – appeal if necessary. Moreover we discussed how to write informative titles, smart abstracts, and well structured papers and obtain the “flow” in the paper.  As well as strategies for getting out mostly of the research and publish with high impacts and finally to get your paper understood by the reader.

DSV/SU Crew on SIREN (Swedish Network for RE)

We (Janis, Jelena, Constantinos and Iyad)  have come back from SIREN (Jonköping 12-13 May) with great impressions. The seminar jointed a number of Swedish universities doing research in the Requirements Engineering discipline (Lund, Blekinge, Jonköping, Linköping, Skövde, Malmö, DSV/Stockholms Universitet, KTH, Chalmers). Also there were industrial participants from Volvo, SAAB, Ericsson and Qtema. Both the given presentations and the discussions were of a high quality and fruitful. Our crew presented two PhD research efforts, one on modelling Business Strategy for aligning with RE (Constantinos), and the other related to an integration of RE with MDD (Iyad). For them we got a very positive feddback, from both the academy and the industrial particpants.

Janis, Jelena, Constantinos and Iyad will spend 12-13 May attending the annual seminar of SIREN in Jonköping. On the seminar, we will present our ongoing research and results in the areas of the alignment between business strategy and RE (Constantinos), as well as in the integration of RE with Model-Driven Development (Iyad)

Research proposal submitted to SSF encompassing 19 MSEK

Health Informatics, Information Systems, Risk and Decision Analysis, SYSLAB

Professor Henrik Boström and associate professor Lars Asker from System Analysis and associate professor Hercules Dalianis from IT for Health submitted a research proposal with the title High-Performance Data Mining for Drug Effect Detection to SSF (Strategiska stiftelsen) encompassing 19 MSEK and 5 years. University of Borås is co-applicant. Stakeholders are Astra Zeneca,  Karolinska University Hospital and Karolinska Institutet,  TakeCare – Compugroup Medical as well as Hjärt- och Lungsjukas Riksförbund. The aim of the project is to detect adverse drug reactions based on models and data repositories within the pharmaceutical industry but also on “real” data such as electronic patient records and registries of prescribed drugs, and in the form of globally collected individual case safety reports. The detection will be carried using various data and text mining methods implemented in a parallel computing system for fast and efficient processing. The outcome of the project will be faster drug development, less adverse drug reactions and better treatment of patients.

A workshop on value modeling and business ontologies
