Curating Model Problems for Software Designing

Software Engineering 2025-03-11 v1

Abstract

Many disciplines use standard examples for education and to share and compare research results. The examples are rich enough to study from multiple points of view; they are often called model problems. Software design lacks such a community resource. We propose an activity for Designing 2025 in which participants improve some existing model problem descriptions and initiate new ones -- with a focus on use in software design education, plus potential utility in research.
