What he said: You think, you chose, we work. You are the best in your bussiness, so OLIVANOVA The Programming Machine will seamlessly help you to specify, model and design your rigth software solution and silently will generate the target code.
 
Óscar Pastor Prof. Dr. Óscar Pastor opastor@dsic.upv.es
Departamento de Sistemas Informáticos y Computación
Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, Spain.
SAB President

Bio: PhD in 1992. Former researcher in HP Labs, currently professor at the Technical University of Valencia. Author of over 100 research papers in conference proceedings, journals and books, received numerous research grants from public institutions and private industry. Research activities in object-oriented conceptual modelling, requirements engineering, information systems and model-based software production.
Leader of the inital project behind CARE Technologies, undertaken since 1996 by the Technical University of Valencia and Consoft S.A., that has originated an advanced CARE tool that produces a final software product starting from a Conceptual Schema where the system requirements are captured.

Research area: Object-Oriented Methodologies, Conceptual Modeling, Web Modeling, Web Quality Metrics.

What he said: With the OLIVANOVA The Programming Machine approach, Model-based Code Generation is no longer just a dream: it is now a viable reality.
 
Jean Vanderdonckt Prof. Jean Vanderdonckt vanderdonckt@isys.ucl.ac.be
Université catholique de Louvain (UCL)
School of Management (IAG)
Information Systems Unit (ISYS)
Belgian Lab. of Computer-Human Interaction (BCHI)

Bio: J. Vanderdonckt holds a master in mathematics, an aggregation in sciences, a master in computer sciences, and a Ph.D. in Computer Science, all from University Notre-Dame de la Paix. He is currently professor of computer science at School of Management, University of Louvain-la-Neuve (Belgium) where he is leading the Belgian Laboratory of Computer-Human Interaction (BCHI). He is the author or co-author of more than 100 scientific papers and 10 books in Human-Computer Interaction. In this domain, he launched the inivitiative on Computer-Aided Design of User Interfaces and Tools for Working with Guidelines. BCHI is currently running 10 research/development projects at the regional level (e.g., First, Initiative, CGT), federal level (e.g. SSTC), european level (e.g. IST V), and international level (e.g., with INRIA, CAST). He is also co-editor in chief of the Kluwer International Book Series on HCI.

Research area: User Interfaces, Model Based approach to UI development, father of the AIO/CIO (Abstract/Concrete Interaction Object) concept.

What he said: For the first time, I saw a development environment that combines both cutting-edge modelling capabilities and smart code generation for multiple computing platforms at the same time: It is OLIVANOVA The Programming Machine. Even more it produces usable user interfaces in a very short amount of time, demonstrating excellent presentations and dialogs.
 
Roel Wieringa Prof. Dr. Roel Wieringa roelw@cs.utwente.nl
Universiteit Twente, Holland.

Bio: Professor of Information Systems at the University of Twente.
His research interests lie in methods for software system requirements engineering and architecture design, and in the application of these methods to distribute information systems, varying from groupware to workflow and e-commerce systems. His research includes the development of advanced tools to support design methods, including tools to simulate and explore possible system designs. He has published books and over 50 papers on software design methods.

Research area: Requirements, Software Engineering, Groupware, Workflows, e-Commerce.

What he said: CARE is a young company that has implemented the state of the art in requirements engineering support and object-oriented model execution software. Their approach is very thorough as it is based on both scientific research and on extensive experience in applying the technology.
OLIVANOVA The Programming Machine allows the software engineer to maintain a tight link between user requirements and software specification, enabling the generation of high-quality software in a short time. It allows the software engineer to concentrate on the tasks that are critical for succesful software development.
 
Stephen W. Liddle Prof. Dr. Stephen W. Liddle liddle@byu.edu
Brigham Young University ,USA.

Bio: Interim Director of Kevin and Debra Rollins Center for eBusiness and Associate Professor of Information Systems in the School of Accountancy and Information Systems of Marriott School at Brigham Young University (USA).

Research area: Object-Oriented Modeling and Implementation, E-Business, and Data Extraction.

What he said: The hardest problems in software development are in the modeling, not the implementation, of systems. OLIVANOVA The Programming Machine puts "first things first", letting professionals focus their energy on the more important aspects of systems development. CARE Technologies S.A. has produced a high quality, exciting tool that has real potential to make a strong impact.
