Software Product Lines in Philips Healthcare: Past, Present and Future of Architecture, Culture and Organization in a Large SPL Initiative
Mr. Luc Koch
Abstract

Philips Healthcare’s journey into Software Product Lines is reaching it’s 10th anniversary, and thus various initiatives are becoming more articulated, understood, and valued. The talk will address a little past, a lot of present time, some future, but most of all our experiences in that period, presented in a lightweight and low-fat flavor, with remarkable observations on architecture, culture, organization, business and processes. All this will be illustrated with real life examples from our own experiences.

Bio

Mr. Luc Koch joined Philips Healthcare in 1995, after an 11 year long career in Cap Gemini where he worked as consultant and interim manager in the domain of Embedded Systems/Software, Factory Automation and Computer Integrated Manufacturing.

Joining Philips Healthcare, he soon was chartered to set up a software reuse program across the company, which led to a successful platform for medical imaging, used in almost all products of the company. Under his leadership, this platform has evolved over time (including all aspects on architecture, organization, business and processes) from pure component based to its current SOA based future, architecture and usage.
