Bio:
Michael Kircher is currently working as Senior Software Engineer at
Siemens AG Corporate Technology in Munich, Germany. His main fields of
interest include distributed and real-time object computing, software
architectures, design patterns, and eXtreme programming.
He is also an active member of the Centre for Distributed Object
Computing at Washington University in Saint Louis where he is involved
in the development of the Real-Time CORBA implementation TAO
(The ACE ORB).
During the last years he published at numerous conferences
on topics such as patterns, open-source, software architectures
for distributed systems, and extreme programming. Further, he
jointly organized several workshops at conferences such as
OOPSLA and EuroPLoP.
In his current work he is involved in the development of UMTS base
stations. He is project lead responsible for the distribution
architecture and the integration of CORBA middleware.
When away from his notebook he loves to enjoy nature, on foot, by
bike, or hunting accompanied by his dog. On nice summer evenings he
enjoys tasty Italian food on the patio of his favorite restaurant.
eXtreme Programming in Open-Source and Distributed Environments
Abstract
eXtreme Programming proved its applicability to small projects, there
is no doubt about this. The question is: How does it adapt and scale,
if it scales at all?
This talk discusses the experiences the author gained in membership of
large, open-source framework developments, as well as in distributed
development teams applying XP practices.
Projects with such properties have special needs. For example the
roles of customer and business are blurred if you are doing framework
development, as no ultimate customer is available. How can you adapt
XP to overcome this?
Doing development with a distributed team gets especially hard, as the
close physical proximity which XP assumes, is lost? How can you still
apply XP in such an environment?
These and other questions will be answered in this talk.
