Our choices as consumers are governed by various factors. At the restaurant one of them is the appearance of the person serving us - if the person has a look that is perceived as healthy, we choose the healthy options from the menu. These are the findings from a study made by researchers Poja Shams and Anders Gustafsson. The health trend is growing and we are becoming increasingly aware of what kind of food we should consume to maintain good health.

TheComputer Science department at Karlstads university co-organizes the SAEroCon workshop at the European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA) in Cavtat, Croatia, 7 – 11 september.   Software is often developed and maintained for a very long time. The more complex a software system is and the longer it evolves, the more likely the structure and behavior of the system will diverge from the originally intended design.
