Application Architecture (

I keep hearing, services (as in SOA) are about edges. If that´s the case, what are these edges connecting? There are no edges without vertices. At this point, I don´t yet want to speculate about what the vertices or "bubbles" in the picture are. But I...
Some time has past since my previous posting , which separated the Software Universe as a basic framework for software design from Software Cells as a pragmatic prescription as to how to structure Application level holons in general. In the meantime I...
After I did my previous posting on the "Big Picture" , I felt qualms as to whether my vision was a little bit too grant. Does the world really need my view on software? Isn´t there already UML covering almost everything you need to know in terms of modelling...
With my previous postings on the holarchy of the Software Cells model , on how software layers fit in , and what to do with infrastructural concerns in place, I guess it´s time for a little wrap-up. Software Cells seem to be no less than an attempt to...
Ok, with software layers finally embraced and infrastructure integrated , I can no longer avoid the tricky topic of connections in the Software Cells model. I´d say they are the hardest and maybe the most important part of the picture. Let me start by...
After I had written my previous posting about the Software Cell dimensions I kinda felt a little bit ashamed for my software layer bashing ;-) So what I now want to try is get back on board all those who left in dismay. Here´s my message for you: If you...
In a previous posting I already tackled the topic of infrastructure. But I feel, it needs some more thoughts. At the beginning of my journey into Software Cells was an uneasyness about the term "application". It seemed, developers were not all too clear...
Software Cells started out in the concrete and tried to make small to medium scale software architecture more tangible. Software Cells thus were a bottom-up approach. But as it turns out, now I also find them usefull on a more conceptual and general level...
After I put Software Cells into perspective with other architectural models, several people approached me with the question "Now, then, what are Software Cells for?" followed with some problem scenario. And I can tell you, those scenarios made me sweat...
In my previous posting I added the missing pieces to the Software Cell puzzle: communication technologies like .NET Remoting, MSMQ, but also ADO.NET. Now you know all the basic structures of any software: At the heart of your solution always is processing...
