A Discussion with Anthony Anjorin and Hsiang-Shang Ko

Anthony Anjorin and Hsiang-Shang Ko

Hosted by Daniel Shea

Summary

Listen to this interview of Anthony Anjorin, a lead software architect at Zühlke Engineering, Germany; and also, Hsiang-Shang Ko, assistant research fellow, Institute of Information Science, Academia Sinica, Taiwan. We talk about their paper Benchmarking bidirectional transformations: Theory, implementation, application, and assessment (Software and Systems Modeling).

Anthony Anjorin : "I really believe in the method called peer instruction in teaching. The basic idea is that experts, who deal with focused topics over long periods, are not necessarily best suited to explaining a thing simply and in just a few sentences. So, in this paper, we took this method into the drafting process. The first three coauthors did nearly all of the writing, while the other six coauthors provided their solutions — which, of course, was crucial, so that we could claim that each solution was provided by an expert person in that area. But nonetheless, it remained for the first three coauthors to do the writing, and that meant, they interviewed the experts and discussed with them so as to become able to write about those solutions themselves — even though they are non-experts. Then, in final round of revision, the solution experts reviewed the texts, providing the writers with the feedback, the comments, and the recommendations they needed to revise the text and make it final."
