Prof. Stephen Fickas Keynote: "Mobile and Agile: Why Can't They Get Along?"
Prof. Stephen Fickas delivered the keynote address at the 20th IEEE International Requirements Engineering Conference, held earlier this fall in Chicago. His talk addresses the challenge of applying incremental, agile requirements engineering methods to mobile applications because of the difficulty of frequent field-testing for the latter. The talk describes Dr. Fickas’ current approach to this roadblock: the use of simulation technology to support frequent, incremental changes without field-testing, through the use of relatively cheap and simple game engines.
