Group research strategy meeting ended with us all facing in the same direction! 🤓👍

[Bashar Nuseibeh @BNuseibeh]

Great to wind down a productive year for our @OU_SEAD group @OUComputing @OpenUniversity with our annual research strategy away day meeting at appropriately named Friends House in London, followed by a festive meal in a Great Nepalese restaurant. Bring it on 2020!

Doing Something About University Finances
a ‘manifesto’ for change ... you asked! https://t.co/G5lvAentQ9

[Anthony Finkelstein @profserious]

Very few people seem to understand university finances and, distressingly, this includes many academics and most policymakers. This is an attempt to condense the key points you need to know. https://t.co/gxJOEXfSuc

@BNuseibeh gave the opening keynote address at #seams2025 in Ottawa this morning.

He spoke about the social context in which adaptive systems are developed and used, and issues of morality, ethics, values & responsibility that shape that context.

It's not too late to consider nominating someone or a team for a Real Academy of Engineering award this year. The deadline is 11 Feb 2025.

It's a really pleasure to serve on the awards committee that will select the winners.

How lucky 🍀 I am to be the Session Chair of the session where @BNuseibeh is presenting his work with Faeq Alrimawi about Meta-modelling Kindness @modelsconf #modelsconf24 #Kindness

[Bashar Nuseibeh @BNuseibeh]

If you’re interested in #kindComputing & #responsibleSoftwareEngineering, pls check out our paper: “Meta-modelling kindness”

Ever thought of adding some #kindness features to your software?

Kindness can benefit the giver, the receiver & the observer.

But it’s very context dependent, including on many psycho-social factors.

But #kindComputing applications also have much in common...
