About
Kruchten Engineering Services Ltd. (KESL) was founded in 2003, when I (Philippe Kruchten) left IBM, shortly after its acquisition of Rational Software. KESL had initially 2 employees: Nicolas Kruchten and Michael Trautmansdorff, two engineering graduates from U of T, and some associates such as Leslee Probasco and Björn Gustafsson. As of the beginning of 2009, I am now alone in KESL. Nicolas is now at Plotly in Montréal. See nicolas.kruchten.com.
Besides my life as an academic at the University of British Columbia (see below), I still offer consulting and training services through KESL, and continue to write and speak on software architecture, on the software development process, or more generally on engineering and the engineering profession.

I am now a professor emeritus of software engineering, in the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of British Columbia, in Vancouver, where I once held an NSERC Chair in Design Engineering. I used to teach software engineering, more specifically software project management, and two interdisciplinary project courses on innovation, entrepreneurship, system engineering. I also did some very modest research in software architecture and software processes, with a handful of graduate students, and many collaborators around the world.

Dear Philippe,
Good afternoon.
I am looking for the slides of Software Architecture: A Mature Discipline?
My response ‘Good Enough’ Architecture” vs “Science of Systems Architecting”
https://medium.com/@gmh_upsa/good-enough-architecture-vs-science-of-systems-architecting-7646f296c688 can be the reason after the fact why I got interested in your presentation and liked it.
Best regards,
José Antonio
José, thanks. slides are up in the talk tab.
You are welcome, Philippe about my message. Thank you about the video and slides of your talk.
