Procom@MdH?

• A model-driven code generation utility for the embedded system, modeled using ProCom model.

• Part of ongoing research in the University for the Progress project

• Developed at MdH

Experiences and Challenges

Experiences and Challenges• Communication strategies

– In face-to-face meetings• Slow Conversation speed• Team members availability

– Online Meetings• Preferred text chat over voice

chat• More online meetings rather than face-to-face meetings

– Emphasis on use of latest communication technologies

Experiences and Challenges

• Skype

• Google Groups

• Online meetings @ www.gotomeeting.com
