On December 14, we (CHOOSE - the Swiss Group for Object-Oriented Systems and Environments) organize our annual CHOOSE Forum. The CHOOSE Forum is a one day event that brings together academics and practitioners to bring the latest developments in software engineering.

This year, the topic is Models vs. Services, and the lineup of speakers is as impressive as it ever was:

• Jean Bézivin (University of Nantes, France)
  Should we resurrect software engineering?
• Cesare Pautasso (University of Lugano, Switzerland)
  Executable Modeling of Software Architectures
• Lukas Renggli (Google, Switzerland)
  Practical Models in Practice
• Markus Völter (itemis AG, Germany)
  Modeling and Programming: isn’t it all the same?
• Carl Worms & Ksenia Wahler (Credit Suisse, Switzerland)
  Services and Models in a large IT system

Book it while it’s hot. The early registration ends on December 1.
