Lecture ' Liquid Software: Where’s the Tofu? ' by Tommi Mikkonen

On September 18, 2018, the lecture 'Liquid Software: Where’s the Tofu?' by Tommi Mikkonen, Professor of software systems at University of Helsinki, Finland, will be held at HSE.

Abstract:

The next mobile software engineering challenge to be addressed is to design and deploy Web applications to make coherent use of all devices. As users nowadays operate multiple personal computers, smart phones, tablets, and computing devices embedded into home appliances or cars, the architecture of current Web applications needs to be redesigned to enable what we call Liquid Software. Such software not only can take full advantage of the computing, storage and communication resources available on all devices owned by the end user, but also can seamlessly and dynamically migrate from one device to another continuously following the user attention and usage context. In this talk we address the Liquid Software concept and survey to which extent and how current Web technologies can support its novel requirements.
