Enthusiastic day – Fuckup-Night

Every success is accompanied by failures; this is the only way to make progress, and few areas show this more clearly than space travel, where development is taking place at the limits of what is possible. The presentation will deal with impressive software errors that have been made by the rocket scientists of NASA, ESA, DLR and Co. over the last decades: Only these errors and their consequences for missions in space travel drive the continuous improvement of technology, especially software. In addition to the increasing avoidance of errors, new classes of errors are also emerging: Errors are part of everyday life and the more consciously we deal with them, the more we learn from them.

Carina Haupt heads the Software Engineering group in the Intelligent and Distributed Systems department at DLR. She supports scientists* in developing software and process-based solutions for their everyday problems.
Her research topics are software engineering in a scientific context, open source and knowledge and data management. Haupt is a founding member of the deRSE e.V. association, conference chair of the deRSE19 conference and has been involved in the organization of several open source and Python community conferences in Germany in recent years.
