During the last 12 and 13 of November a new FAST Face2Face developers meeting took place in SAP headquarters in Zurich. Several hot topics were discussed in three parallel sessions:
Tomorrow, 24/11/2009, the Workshop on User-generated Services (UGS2009) will take place at ICSOC2009 in Stockholm, Sweden. The workshop extends the notion of user-generated content, which is at the heart of the Web2.0 paradigm, to services. Can end users be empowered not only to contribute content to the Web, but to define their own, personalised working environment, creating and adapting functionality and services to their own needs?The workshop is co-organised and sponsored by the FAST project, and among others features two presentations by FAST members. Also, there will be an invited talk on the Open Alliance for Service Front Ends, for which FAST was one of the founding members.
The FAST project online user evaluation has finished. This evaluation has been fully satisfactory. Most of the evaluators defined FAST as a good or excellent tool. Besides, they have provided a set of recommendations and new features proposal that will be analysed by the FAST team.
The FAST Project plenary meeting was held last week of September, at Kassel University. The main topics analysed during the meeting were the situation and results of the work-packages of the project, the preparation of the User evaluation stage and the summary of the improvements to be included in the deliverables to be released by the end of February 2010
