This often can be related to agile cultures clashing with nonagile cultures, thus leading agile and non-agile value systems into conflict. This paper is a result of my research regarding patterns of value based conflicts of agile software development projects. The patterns shall help to identify aforementioned conflicts and provide a short-term approach to aim for short-term improvements and a long-term approach, to address the value conflicts themselfes when using Agile approaches.","PeriodicalId":384476,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 16th European Conference on Pattern Languages of Programs","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128446777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As of today, most trainings focus on teaching methods and tools, where the soft skills are left to be trained by some pedagogical training that itself often focus on the introduction of methods as well, but does not apply soft skills to the actual setting in which they will occur in normal day life. This pattern introduces a guideline for a training format as a solution to train soft skills in the participants' specific setup. The introduced format is flexible in that way, that its execution can be adjusted to specific backgrounds by using the storytelling approach.","PeriodicalId":384476,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 16th European Conference on Pattern Languages of Programs","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126255831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It must be possible to deal with exceptions occurring during workflow execution or changes in the workflow context. To enable this, workflow flexibility has to be taken into account during design time as well as during runtime. This paper presents an approach based on a combination of BPMN workflow models, rules, events, and so called workflow adaptation patterns. Workflow adaptation patterns describe the adaptations available for a specific situation.","PeriodicalId":384476,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 16th European Conference on Pattern Languages of Programs","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125393201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bauer, Peter Baumgartner","doi":"10.1145/2396716.2396722","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1145/2396716.2396722","url":null,"abstract":"Like a shop window facing the street and displaying delicate or valuable articles, an electronic portfolio showcase required skills of students and demonstrates that they understand how to apply their prowess. However, the work with electronic portfolios is complex and demanding. Compared to experts, novice users -- teachers as well as students -- face a number of challenges when they try to draw on the experience of others, especially when they want to implement e-portfolios in their university or college courses and when they try to create their first own e-portfolio views respectively. Even for experts on e-portfolios it is sometimes hard to explain how to best use e-portfolios for learning purposes. There are a few guidelines which help with the basics, but what is missing is a common language for describing e-portfolio practice. This paper, making use of Christopher Alexander's work on patterns and pattern languages, and drawing on pedagogical design patterns which already exist, presents the author's first steps towards a pattern language for working with e-portfolios in higher education combining different theoretical and practical approaches and, particularly, own experiences of e-portfolio use.","PeriodicalId":384476,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 16th European Conference on Pattern Languages of Programs","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132567870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
