Industry-as-Laboratory Applied in Practice: The Boderc Project

abstract Many academical methods never reach industrial application. Colin Potts has observed this for software engineering methods. He proposed a new research approach: Industry-as-Laboratory. New methods are applied and verified in an industrial context.

The Embedded Systems Institute (ESI) has adopted this approach to research embedded systems creation methods. The Boderc project, which started at the end of 2002, is the first ESI project to apply this method. In this article we discuss the Boderc project, the Industry-as-Laboratory approach, the experiences, and the lessons learned.
