    1st DSV-PhD Workshop on Computer and Systems Sciences

    Last Friday, November 27th, 2009, DSV's Director of Postgraduate Studies, Anne Håkansson, and the DSV PhD Student Board (phds.dsv.su.se), hosted the 1st DSV-PhD Workshop on Computer and Systems Sciences.

    The main objective was to bring together all PhD students within DSV and allow them to interact and present their work to each other stirring discussions and hopefully future collaborations.

    Lunch seminar on Design Science

    Today I had the chance to share with colleagues at SYSLAB my experience of the ERCIS Design Science summer school, which I attended at the end of August (ercis-phd-summer-school-design). I covered key points from literature intending to provide a broader scope of Design Science than what is covered by Hevner et. al. 2004 (the most well known paper on Design Science research). Furthemore, I briefly covered all main aspects of the area as tackled during the summer school. These could be summarized into a set of questions and open issues:

    • What is and what is not design science research?
    • What are the philosophical assumptions of design science?
    • What is an artifact in design science?
    • What is the/a design science research process?
    • What is a design science theory?

    • Open issues: the relation of a kernel theory and design science theory, epistemology in design theory, utility, how to codify design theory, etc.

    Here is the presentation
    (literature references used, coming from the ERCIS Design Science summer school, are listed in the slides).

    ERCIS PhD Summer School "Design Science"

    Last week I attended the 1st PhD summer school on”Design Science” organized by the European Research Center for Information Systems (ERCIS) on a sailing boat in the Netherlands.

    Along with another 12 PhD students and the two chairs of the summer school, Prof. Karlheinz Kautz (Copenhagen Business School, Denmark) and Dr.Dr. Björn Niehaves (ERCIS, University of Münster, Germany) we spent the week with seminars on foundation papers of “Design Science” (e.g. Hevner et. al. 2004, March & Smith 1995, Simon 1981, etc.) and its applicability.

    Our discussions and theme of the paper analysis evolved around 5 questions and a set of open issues:
    • What is and what is not design science research?
    • What are the philosophical assumptions of design science?
    • What is an artifact in design science?
    • What is the/a design science research process?
    • What is a design science theory?
    • Open issues: the relation of a kernel theory and design science theory, epistemology in design theory, utility, how to codify design theory, etc.

    It was a pleasure attending the seminars that brought up different views of the papers examined; putting on the table more questions on Design Science to be answered. It was a valuable experience especially for someone like me trying to clarify my research topic and research methods.

    More information about the summer school should be soon available via ERCIS: www.ercis.de

    REVVA 2 presentation

    As a member of the technical team representing the Swedish Defense Research Agency (FOI), Today, I had the opportunity to present the outcome of the work done within the REVVA 2 consortium. Under the auspices of the Simulation Interoperability Standards Organization (SISO), the project was focused on developing a generic and comprehensive Verification, Validation & Acceptance (VV&A) methodology for modeling and simulation (M&S) products. The outcome is meant to be submitted as an internationally recognized standard and recommended practice for the application of VV&A, the Generic Methodology for Verification, Validation and Acceptance (GM-VV).

    The GM-VV provides a generic framework to efficiently develop an argument to justify why identified models, simulations, underlying data, outcomes and capabilities are believed to be acceptable for deployment in the target (intended) operational (use) context. This argument is intended to support stakeholders in their acceptance decision-making process on the utilization the aforementioned M&S artifacts to satisfy their business goals. The methodology provides this support throughout the whole life-cycle of these (M&S) artifacts (development, employment and (re)use). More importantly, the GM-VV defines the required information and argumentation mechanisms that allow well-balanced and risk informed arguments for acceptance decision making with various levels of formality.

    The presentation can be found here:2009.04.08 REVVA2 for SYSLAB.pdf, while the full document set (the GM-VV Handbook, the GM-VV RPG and the GM-VV Reference Manual) can be found at SISO's product development group webpage.

    New group for PhD students

    A new group is launched today for SYSLAB's PhD students. The group is meant to host communication(e.g. the weekly lunch meetings as well as presentations held there, etc.) between the lab's PhD students.
  • March 29, 02:37 PM

    Verification, Validation & Accreditation of Modeling & Simulation

    I would like to thank you for inviting me to this social network.

    Currently I'm taking my first baby steps as a researcher, since i have just joined the group. I have recently completed my Master Thesis (EMIS program) working on Modeling & Simulation (M&S) and more specifically on proposing a tailoring method for Verification, Validation Accreditation of M&S products.
    My future research will evolve on the same area and i will be working closely with the Swedish Defense Research Agency (FOI).

    Greece today, “reaping what it has sown”

    “You reap what you sow“? or maybe “crime and punishment“? I wonder which applies for Greece nowadays and I guess, the answer is both. Today’s article from The Guardian gives an overview of  the country’s affairs, a different perspective from the Greece today post, but similar view. I copied two vivid parts below, while the complete article can be found here.

    Greece is reaping what it has sown


    When Greeks boast of destabilising the eurozone while living like there’s no tomorrow, it’s hard to be sympathetic to their plight

    …a great majority own their home or received one mortgage-free, use the latest mobile phone, drive a nice car and get help from family whether it’s cash for multiple university degrees, vacations, furniture or shopping. Without rent or a mortgage, why are people unable to live comfortably on an average salary of €14,437 for salaried workers and €11,873 for pensioners? It is easy to guess, when citizens boast of single handedly destabilising the eurozone and living like there’s no tomorrow, as if these were accomplishments.

    …

    And if “people are rich, the state is poor”, as Greeks so often say, why protest? Why portray Greece to the worldwide community as a nation of illogical if uncaring citizens that bring further ruin to their economy by discouraging desperately needed tourism and foreign investors, and irking the remaining 75% of countrymen who still go to work and do not have jobs for life? No doubt protesting is a right, but fairness is impossible to achieve. Unions are no better than politicians when using the word solidarity and just as complicit in bringing Greece to crisis with demands based not on justice but egocentric self-interest.

    Περί Ελλήνων, Αφροδίτης και άλλων άστρων (λ.χ. της Μερτσεντές)

    Δανείζομαι από την ανάρτηση του παυσίφωνου που μου άρεσε εξ’ολοκλήρου:

    “Είναι δυνατόν να είσαι τόσο απύθμενα ηλίθιος;“, προφανές που αναφέρεται ο ποιητής!
    … ”Γραφικέ ελληνάρα, δεν είσαι τίποτα περισσότερο από μαγκιά, κλανιά και κώλο φινιστρίνι.“

    καθώς και από τους Times που όλοι γουσταρίζουμε (me likes the nyt post too):

    “When an analyst in the Financial Times suggested that Germany was going to bail out Greece after all, a German reader commented, “So what you’re saying is give them your money to spend in your shop.” But isn’t that just what the Chinese do when they buy U.S. Treasury bonds?“

    Καλό μήνα!
