Conference paper shines a light on the murky area of embedded software variant management - managing the process of developing multiple similar-but-different software systems

Mark Dalgarno of Cambridge-based Software Acumen has been invited to speak at the 3rd BCS Configuration Management Specialist Group Conference to take place in Oxford on 15th and 16th May 2007. Dalgarno's paper, co-authored with Danilo Beuche of pure-systems, is titled 'Configuration management: an anti-pattern for implementing variability?' and shines a light on the murky area of embedded software variant management - managing the process of developing multiple similar-but-different software systems.

Dalgarno contends that most organisations fail to manage their variants efficiently due to a heavy reliance solely on their configuration management system.

Adopting a more comprehensive variant management approach can yield better results.

The conference will bring together managers and practitioners working in change, configuration and release management.

Presentations by practitioners and world leaders in the field will cover a wide variety of configuration-management-related topics.
