Abstract.A software product is software that is built for nobody in particular but is sold multiple times. A software product is typically highly customizable, or adaptable, to particular use contexts; moreover, such a software product can typically be thought of as a common kernel plus a number of customizations, one for each use context. A successful software product will be used for many years, and hence the kernel must evolve to accommodate changing demands and environments. The subject of this paper is the conflict between the customizations made for each use context and the evolution of the kernel over time. As a case study we consider Microsoft Dynamics AX and Dynamics NAV, highly customizable enterprise resource planning (ERP) software systems, for which upgrades are traditionally costly. We study the challenges related to the customization/evolution conflict and present some software engineering approaches, programming language constructs and software tools that attempt to address these problems, and discuss whether they could be brought to bear on the conflict.

Yvonne Botma, School of Nursing (99) AbstractStudents bridge the theory-practice gap when they apply in practice what they have learned in class. A conceptual framework was developed that can serve as foundation to design for learning transfer at modular level. The framework is based on an adopted and adapted systemic model of transfer of learning, existing learning theories, constructive alignment, and the elements of effective learning opportunities. A convergent consensus-seeking process, which is typical of a qualitative approach, was used for expert review. The final conceptual framework consists of two principles: establishing a community of learning and the primacy of a learning outcome. The four steps entail: 1) activation of existing knowledge; 2) engaging with new information; 3) demonstrating competence; and 4) application in the real world. It is envisaged that by applying the framework educators in health care will design for transfer of learning, resulting in quality of care and optimal patient outcomes.
