Dear all,

You are cordially invited to the first talk in our renewed PEM Talk
series. Since SEN1 has recently gained a lot of new members, the format
of the talks is changed to increase the internal communication of our
group. Every session will now consist of an informal talk by 1 or 2
group members about their current work, followed by other 'managerial'
announcements/discussions. There will be a session every Thursday from
10am to 11am. Of course, we also still organize occasional talks by
external visitors.

The first talk will be given by Jurgen Vinju, and is titled:

"Maintenance Complexity: a new metric"

Abstract:
In our next paper we study the difference in maintainability between
the Visitor design pattern and the Interpreter design pattern for the
design of interpreters for programming languages.
Existing metrics for maintainability do not suffice. We'll get into
that. The new metric does provide insight. The goal of this talk is to
solicit feedback on the concept of this new metric to identify all of
its strengths and weaknesses.

Time: Thursday 13 January, 10am
Location: Room L016, CWI

I hope to see you all there!

Best regards,
Bas Basten
