York Doctoral Symposium 2013

This week we had a local York Doctoral Symposium (YDS) which has been taking part in The University of York since 6 years ago. It was a very nice event in which several works in the form of full papers and extended abstracts in different areas of Computer Science and Electronics were presented, and despite the fact of being a local symposium it received several works not only from The University of York colleagues, but also from other UK Universities, even one paper from a German one !!

Regarding my interests (better said area of knowledge, because there were other very interesting topics) there were only a couple of papers related to Model-Driven Engineering: one of them presented by one colleague in the Enterprise Systems group, Athanasios Zolotas, related to DSLs for Web Application Development Processes; and a second one presented by me :), from which I must confess that I received an unexpected surprise at the end of the night...

2º MoskittDay/EclipseDay

Hi Everybody,

Long time has passed since my last blog's entry (I know I was not able to keep my monthly entry frequency >.< ). However, I have decided to take these reports again. I'll try to make short entries so that keeping an acceptable rate of publications doesn't turn into a tedious task.

This time I want to mention the great conference I had last week in Valencia. The 2º MoskittDay/EclipseDay was a pleasant event to meet old friends and new one who I have been mailing since several months ago. Moskitt is an open source project sponsored by the Conselleria de Infraestructuras y transportes which tries to build a model-driven tool to aid the development of software applications.
