World-Café

The World-Café is the core of the workshop. The purpose of it is to facilitate brainstorming and discussions among the participants.

Participants discussing in front of a board.

It works as follows:

  • The participants are divided into groups. Separate groups will exist for remote participants.
  • Each group visits each station where a specific topic is discussed. A station has a moderator which helps to moderate the discussions and keep track of what is being said for summing it up later.
  • Ideas and suggestions are written down on a board which is visible for the following groups so they can comment and add to it.


Reports summarising the discussions will be written and distributed after the workshop.

Topics 1. Round

The World-Café topics are:

  • Experience with Matlab Middle Layer or similar tools
  • Software architecture for pyAML
  • Configuration and data management for pyAML
  • pyAML specification
  • Collaboration organisation

 

In preparation for the discussions a list of questions has been prepared for each topic.

1. Experience with Matlab Middle Layer or similar tools

  • What would make the worst middle layer possible?
  • What would make the new middle layer a great tool?
