Toward Meaningful Industrial--Academic Partnerships

At the Ready-Set-Transfer panel at the 2014 IEEE International Requirements Engineering Conference, researchers presented their projects to a team of industrial judges, explaining the industrial motivation and describing how they had evaluated their idea's adoption readiness. The projects included FlexiSketch, a collaborative-whiteboard sketching tool; the Collaborative Creativity Canvas, which replaces requirements negotiation with a lively cocreation process; and Archie, which detects and visualizes architectural decisions in code.
