Lean Green Belt
Wed, Jul 31, 2013 @ 09:00 AM - 05:00 PM
Executive Education
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: TBA,
Talk Title: Lean Green Belt
Abstract: Course Overview
This three-day course provides an in-depth understanding of lean enterprise principles and how to apply them within your organization. Your lean journey begins with a series of interactive simulations that demonstrate how each lean concept is applied and its impact on the process. Mapping the process flow and identifying the activities that add value from the customer's perspective is the cornerstone of this class. The class is then given a scenario and the students simulate the conversion from traditional to lean in a practical hands-on environment. The course also provides a structure for how to manage a lean process for continuous improvement. Participants will learn how to structure their organizations to support and continuously improve a lean process. Participants will also fully understand how to implement 5S within their plants and how to begin reducing setup time using the SMED process.

Two course delivery options are available for participants: on campus and online with interactivity:
On-Campus: Course is held in state-of-the-art facilities on the University of Southern California campus, located in downtown Los Angeles. Participants attending on campus will have the option to commute to the course or stay at one of the many hotels located in the area.
Overview of on-campus option:
The ability to interact with faculty and peers in person.
Access to hard copy course materials.
Ability to logon and view archived course information - up to 7 days after the course has been offered. This includes course documents and streaming video of the lectures.
If there is a conflict during any on-campus course dates, on-campus participants can elect to be an online/interactive student.
Parking, refreshments and lunch are provided for on-campus participants â⬓ unless otherwise specified.
Online with Interactivity: Course delivery is completely online and real-time, enabling interaction with the instructor and fellow participants. Participants have the flexibility of completing the course from a distance utilizing USC's Distance Education Network technology. Students are required to be online for the entirety of each day's session.
Overview of online (interactive):
Virtually participate in the course live â⬓ with the ability to either ask questions by phone or type questions via the ââ¬Åchatââ¬Â function to the entire class.
WebEx technologies provide the option to call into the class and view the entire lecture/materials on a personal computer, or to participate on a computer without having to utilize a phone line.
Ability to logon and view archived course information up to 7 days after the course has been offered. This includes course documents and streaming video of the lectures.
Continuing Education Units

CS Colloquium: Alexander Egyed: Consistency and the Impact of Changes during Model-Driven Engineering
Wed, Jul 31, 2013 @ 02:30 PM - 04:30 PM
Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Alexander Egyed, Johannes Kepler University (JKU)
Talk Title: Consistency and the Impact of Changes during Model-Driven Engineering
Series: CS Colloquium
Abstract: To be held in KAP 156.
Design models describe different viewpoints of a software system - separating functionality, from structure, behavior, or usage. While these models are meant to be separate in their description, they are nonetheless related by manifold dependencies. After all, they describe the same system. Yet, this network of dependencies is also the most significant obstacle to model-driven engineering. It is the root cause for failure to propagate changes correctly and completely. Although change propagation as a whole is a daunting challenge to tackle, this talk suggests an approach for addressing this problem in context of model-driven engineering where incorrect or incomplete changes are detectable in form of the inconsistencies they cause. Understanding the impact of a model change is thus analogous to the detection and repairing of inconsistencies introduced by these changes.
Biography: Prof. Dr. Alexander Egyed is a Professor at the Johannes Kepler University (JKU), Austria and Head of the Institute for Software Systems Engineering (SSE). He received his Doctorate degree from the University of Southern California, USA under the mentorship of Dr. Barry Boehm in 2000 and, before joining the JKU in 2008, he worked as a Research Scientist for Teknowledge Corporation, USA (2000-2007) and then as a Research Fellow at the University College London, UK (2007-2008). He is most recognized for his work on software and systems modeling - particularly on consistency (=i.e., correctness and completeness) and traceability of models (i.e., where is information coming from, where is it being used?). Dr. Egyedââ¬â¢s work has been supported by research grants from Austria, Canada, European Union, UK, and USA and his work has been published at over a hundred refereed scientific books, journals, conferences, and workshops, with over 3000 citations to date. He was recognized as the 10th best scholar in software engineering in Communications of the ACM, was named an IBM Research Faculty Fellow in recognition to his contributions to consistency checking, received a Recognition of Service Award from the ACM, a Best Paper Award from COMPSAC, and an Outstanding Achievement Award from the USC. He has given many invited talks including four keynotes, served on scientific panels and countless program committees, and has served as program (co-) chair, steering committee member, and editorial board member of SoSyM and other journals. He is a member of the IEEE, IEEE Computer Society, ACM, and ACM SIGSOFT.
