The panelists are people who have learned agile methodologies on the job, in an academic classroom, and from a commercial trainer. They comment on their experience, what worked, why, what failed, why and what they would have preferred to receive in their formal education as students.

The possibility is described of doubling the number of readout channels in the detector without increasing the electronics needed to amplify channel signals. This suggests that it should be possible, ...

The objective of this panel is to, at just past the mid-point of the first century of computing, debate whether this pre-eminent role of programming languages will continue straightforwardly in the second half-century, if radically new styles of programming languages will emerge and dominate, or if programming languages will rece...
