I wish to attend the symposiumbecause I want to gain new insights through discussions with other
participants and want to contribute an industry perspective to the symposium.
I have worked as a project manager with several software projects designing and implementing configurators. One configurator is employed in the client’s day-to-day work, another one is currently under
development for some other client.
Myongoing configurator project is based on constraint solving techniques and the prototype system
COCOS.I was the coordinator of the COCOSproject, which was run by Siemens Austria jointly with
the University of Technology Vienna. The work of COCOS
is documented in several articles including
the references [3] and [8] cited in the submitted paper.
Benefitting from my experience with real-world configurator projects, I am confident to contribute
substantially to discussions at the workshop.
