About
The FOSD meeting is an informal meeting designed to bring together researchers working on feature-oriented software development (FOSD). It has been in 2009 when it started, and has since evolved and expanded in what now is an international event for researchers in FOSD area. Since 2014, the meeting is held in English enabling it to become even more an international event. More details about FOSD and previous FOSD meetings can be found at http://fosd.net. For the FOSD2016 Workshop, please visit FOSD'16 WORKSHOP
The format of the FOSD meeting consists of presentations from each participant (approx. 20 min), young researchers (graduate and undergraduate students) together with other researchers, present their research, provide and get feedback from others, engage into discussions and establish new collaborations. It is also welcomed to discuss new directions, early ideas as well as finished work. The key part is to encourage discussions, to receive feedback and to create a network for new collaborations.
Every year there is an informal competition, FOSD Cool Wall, where everyone votes for the coolest name of a tool that has been presented during the meeting.
Abstract information FOSD does not require any paper submission and does not have proceedings, though we do expect an abstract about the research that is conducted and an e-mail address of the participant. The deadline for the abstract is February 1, 2016. Please submit abstract to: scas at itu dot dk.

25/05 at 9AM in AUD 4 Kernel Software Variability - From a kernel developer's perspective
Jesper Brouer, Red Hat @JesperBrouer
Today the Linux kernel runs on almost any hardware. This involves a very high degree of compile time variability. This talk is about the practical challenges that kernel developers face on a daily basis, when dealing with this variability for supporting hardware they never even heard about. The talk will also cover how the kernel community currently deals with these challenges, where the kbuild test robot is currently our best line of defense.
Bio:
Jesper Dangaard Brouer is a principal kernel engineer at Red Hat. He works from the comfort of his home outside Copenhagen. He has been involved in the kernel networking layer for almost 10 years, and recently moved into the memory subsystem. His primary work revolves around performance and scalability.
Hotel and ITU Location
Here is some information and Google Maps routes on how to reach the hotel from the airport and then to the venue place.
Cabinn metro hotel from the airport
Airport to hotel map
To reach the Cabinn metro hotel you need to take the train from track 2 towards Central Station (København H - "Hovedbanegården" in Danish) and get off at "Ørestad" station. Check the monitors on the platform for train information and station stops
to be sure the train stops at "Ørestad" station. Once you get off at "Ørestad" station, you need to walk
down the Ørestads Boulevard along the big building on the left (Fields), and turn left on Arne Jacobsens Alle at the intersection of the streets. Walk for a few minutes until you reach your hotel on the left side.
For using the train, you need to buy a 2-zone ticket. Tickets can be bought at the machines in the airport or at the DSB information desk. There are no tickets machines on the train platforms, so be sure
to get your ticket before going to the track 2 platform. For more general information about tickets, see below.
If you wish to take a taxi, you can pay with a credit card and most drivers speak English. However, they are rather expensive.
Reaching ITU by metro
Hotel to ITU map
To reach ITU from airport, take the metro towards "Vanløse". Get off at station "Christianshavn" and switch the lines. Take the metro towards "Vestamager" and get off at "DR Byen". Then walk towards the water kanal that is between
two big buildings. After passing the big building on the right (DR - the national television), you will reach ITU on the right side.
You will need to buy a 3-zone ticket for the trip.
To reach ITU from Cabinn Metro Hotel, you need to walk to "Ørestad" metro station and take the metro towards "Vanløse".
You need to get off at DR Byen station (3rd station from starting point) and walk in the direction of the metro for 5 minutes along the water kanal, until you reach ITU on the right side.
The total time from the hotel to ITU should be around 20-30 minutes. The metro runs 24h and in rush hour comes every 3 minutes.
Getting back to hotel from ITU or city center
ITU to Hotel map
From city center take the metro towards "Vestamager". From ITU you will need to walk to "DR Byen" metro station and take the metro towards the same "Vestamager" station. Get off at Ørestad station. Once you got off at "Ørestad" station, you need to walk
down the Ørestads Boulevard along the big building on the left (Fields), and turn left on Arne Jacobsens Alle at the intersection of the streets. Walk for a few minutes until you reach your hotel on the left side.
Tickets
A 2-zone ticket costs 24 DKK, is valid for one hour for two zones and can be used on the bus, metro or train. ITU is in zone 1 and Ørestad is in zone 3. You need to buy a 2 zone ticket to get to ITU.
In every station there are ticket machines which accept major credit cards. Some machines also accept Danish kroner coins.
An alternative is to buy a 24/72 hour transportation pass that is valid in 4 zones. The 24 hour costs 80 DKK and the 72 costs 200 DKK. Each station has a map with the zones. Reaching city centre either from the hotel or from ITU requires a 2-zone ticket.
Please be aware that traveling without a ticket results in a fine of 750 DKK (approx. 100 euro).
Social events
We will have two social events (that you will find out about after the first lunch) that we hope you will enjoy. These will include some walking around, and they should be great fun!
As the Danish weather is impredictible, please bring with you a rain jacket and good walking shoes, preferably waterproof. Short rains are common, even in the summer.
Also you should be aware that it is not that warm in Copenhagen,
so be sure to check the weather forecast and temperature forecast before heading up to Denmark.
