Curating Model Problems for Software Designing

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.
