As a sponsor of the Software-Centric Systems Conference we proudly support the leading software engineering conference in Europe. At SC2 professionals and decision makers share best practices in the crucial and strategic discipline of complex software development. Facilitating the exchange of knowledge and experiences, the conference helps them with the use of technology, to drive innovation and to provide insight in emerging trends. Through an inspiring program of structured and informal networking they can share ideas on how to make the software engineering process more reliable and more efficient, in order to improve the time-to-market and time-to-value.

Our partner ‘Settels Savenije & Friedrich’ is constantly monitoring the needs of its course participants and thinking about ways to help them achieve their personal action plan goals.

We are happy to announce that our leadership and soft skills portfolio will be expanded with two new courses.

How to succesfully perform in the Dutch high tech culture
Learn the soft skills and right mindset you need to to be effective in the Dutch tech culture. A two day practical bootcamp that will give you all the insights, practical soft skills and confidence you need to propeller your career.

Leadership skills for architects and other technical leaders
As a technical leader you will need to steer the technical direction of both the project and company. If you don’t, then who will? This involves convincing stakeholders, influencing without power and personal leadership. All of this you learn in a 5 day training especially designed for architects, head engineers and (technical) project leads who want to improve their leadership.

The complete descriptions and course data will become available in September.

Energy consumption becomes more and more an issue. Experience shows that energy consumption can be reduced by several orders of magnitude.

The High Tech Institute and T2Prof cordially invite you to attend one of the introductory sessions on Ultra low power for Internet of Things. MSEE Herman Roebbers (Altran) will explain how you significantly can reduce the energy consumption of your design.

After a short presentation on mechanisms for reducing energy consumption, Herman will demonstrate how to measure and reduce the energy consumption. He will illustrate how the concepts discussed can be applied in concrete situations dependent on available hardware and software.

Finally Herman will indicate which topics are addressed in the 2-day hands-on workshop and what you know and can do having attended the course.

There will also be time for discussion on energy reduction issues raised by you.

More information on the introductory session
Thursday September 28, 17:00 – 18:30 hrs in Nijmegen
Thursday October 5, 17:00 – 18:30 hrs in Eindhoven

If you are interested in attending one of the introductory sessions, please send an e-mail to our office manager Linda van Hoeij, containing your name, company name, phone number and preferred location of the session: training@hightechinstitute.nl

Design patterns and emergent architecture focuses on the application of design patterns to satisfy non-functional requirements and to obtain a software architecture that can withstand software evolution in an emergent manner.

The basic idea that permeates the course is that non-functional improvements are made by transforming and refactoring a software application using patterns. An important aspect is the shaping of component interfaces in a way that makes integration easier by guaranteeing backwards compatibility with existing client code.

The program offers a healthy mix of theory and exercises. In the exercises the participants must select a pattern to improve an existing design on a particular non-functional aspect. Typically, such aspects are scalability, reuse, extensibility and portability. The last half day of the course addresses various architectural patterns from Buschmann et al. and shows how these architectures can be realized using the design patterns by making stepwise transformations.

The trainers Onno van Roosmalen and Martijn Ceelen have recently updated this training to fit with scrum and other agile processes.

Participant should have insight in object-oriented techniques, have a working knowledge of a common object oriented programming language (C++, Java, C#), have knowledge of syntax and semantics of most-used UML modeling concepts.

The course requires the capability to abstract from details in the source code using UML class diagrams. Regularly example program-fragments will be shown. The course is accompanied with source code in Java as well as the executables related to the case studies.

Our partner ‘Settels Savenije & Friedrich’ specialises in courses and master classes in soft skills and leadership designed for technology professionals. Their understanding of the world of technology, innovation and knowledge of how technology professionals learn, makes their trainings highly practical and effective. This is how they help the biggest high tech companies in the Brainport area to develop their architect communities.

If you like to experience how they work or just like to have an inspiring afternoon, please be welcome to their afternoon sessions on important development topics. Check our invite.

Knowledge session:
Technical leadership in innovation: the role of the architect.

• What is the role of the architect?
• How to get to the best (technical) choices for the company and the client?
• How can the tech senior involve stakeholders with different backgrounds and can he transform resistance into buy-in?

Come to this 1½ hour knowledge session and learn and experience.

19th of October 15:00 – 17:30 hrs.

Als wereldleider in de markt voor chipmachines bepaalt ASML de hartslag van de wereldwijde informatietechnologie. Hoe kwam een piepkleine firma uit een Brabants dorp na jaren van tegenslagen tot zo’n weergaloze prestatie? Die turbulente route naar succes is nu beschreven door onafhankelijk techniekjournalist René Raaijmakers. Hij sprak daarvoor met ruim honderd mensen binnen en buiten de onderneming, uit alle lagen van de organisatie.

Het boek over de ontstaansgeschiedenis van ASML verschijnt in twee versies. De geldmachine – De turbulente jeugd van ASML is de managementeditie van het verhaal. Deze geschiedenis beslaat de pioniersjaren vanaf 1970 (de periode waarin de waferstepper wordt ontwikkeld) tot en met 1996, het jaar waarin ASML echt doorbreekt.

De uitgebreidere versie heet De architecten van ASML. Dit boek gaat dieper in op de technische aspecten van deze wonderbaarlijke historie. De architecten van ASML is technisch-populair: deze editie is ook goed leesbaar voor niet-technici met belangstelling voor techniek.

Alle informatie in De geldmachine – De turbulente jeugd van ASML staat ook in De architecten van ASML.

Beide edities van het boek over de geschiedenis van ASML zijn verkrijgbaar vanaf 15 juni 2017. De voorverkoop is reeds gestart. Kijk hiervoor op www.techwatchbooks.nl.
