Keynote speech by Martin Haunschmid: Security is as bad as it was 20 years ago
Martin Haunschmid's keynote speech clearly shows how important it is to consider cybersecurity at an early stage of development.
Innovation in the tool market: Why is it so difficult?
Innovation in the tool market for products is low, at least compared to software tools. Will this change soon?
Digital disruption at ReConf 2025: my personal contribution and outlook
ReConf 2025 is all about digital disruption. I will be there with a presentation on AI in requirements engineering.
Trends and debates: Highlights of ReConf 2024
The big trend at ReConf 2024 was AI. Other highlights included debates on MBSE and news on ReqIF.
Aligning requirements and system model with AI
With AI, we can create MBSE models from text and compare requirements and system models. But there are still problems.
ReConf again at last!
ReConf is the largest conference on requirements management in Germany. I have attended the event almost every year since 2007, mostly as a speaker. ReConf usually takes place in March. The year before last, it coincided directly with the start of the coronavirus pandemic, which is why ReConf 2020 was unfortunately canceled at short notice. However, after several postponements, it will take place on...
My 4 contributions to the ReConf 2020
ReConf is one of the best-known conferences in Germany on the subject of requirements management, which is an important part of systems engineering. Once again this year, I will be attending ReConf not only as a participant but also as a lecturer with several contributions.
Requirement means: "Shut up!" - Keynote by Jeff Patton
Every year again - yesterday marked the end of the 18th ReConf in Munich, which has become the meeting place for people interested in RE in German-speaking countries. This year's theme was "Beyond RE", to which I contributed with two presentations and a workshop. Unfortunately, due to my professional commitments, I didn't have too much time to attend many of the...
See you next week at ReConf?
It's that time again: Next week, ReConf will take place in Munich, the place where the German requirements community has been meeting for 17 years. I'll be there this year with a workshop and two talks, it's not too late to register. By the way: I have access to discount codes. If you are interested, please contact...
Dealing better with changes in systems engineering
It is becoming increasingly difficult to deal with change as we are confronted with more and more change. We therefore need a new paradigm for dealing with change. I recently presented the idea of a toolbox for dealing with change. Of course, dealing with change is nothing new, and many organizations have established processes to...
What we can expect in 2019: complexity and change
The world of systems engineering has been changing for a while now. Change will accelerate even further in 2019 and will be one of the dominant themes we encounter on many levels: From the transformation of entire organizations, to a better way of dealing with change. Among other things, change is being driven by the exponentially increasing complexity...
A toolbox for dealing with changes
Acceleration in product development is a real challenge for systems engineering. Traditionally, stability has been emphasized there, not agility. However, increasing complexity and tougher competition make it vital to be able to handle change well. This was recognized as early as 2001 when the agile manifesto for software development was drawn up, and...
