Abstract (Example for a workshop): Participative Software Engineering & Transformative Technologies/robotic

The workshop provides insight into the field of “participative software engineering”.  The new technologies associated with transformative technologies provide for instance software and tools that promote knowledge processing, collaborative work, sharing and interactive communication in socio-technical networks. The presentation provides an overview of the debate of participative software engineering and the concept of participation (for example in the field of robotic). Using the example of transformative technologies, it demonstrates how criteria for success of innovation and equality in the relevant educational and business contexts can be materialized.

How to work with transformative technologies in different contexts is the aim of the workshop. You need just a laptop with an internet access to join this workshop.
