New home for the IASA
The IASA site has now moved to www.iasahome.org and with this we've launched the new UK chapter's portal. If you're UK based and not a member then the question has to be why not? The main focus for the next year will be to create more UK city-based chapters so if you're interested then drop me a line.
In the we are honoured to welcome Mark Collins-Coppe of Ratio who has kindly agreed to join us to discuss the use of ARM for large scale applications that have been successfully employed on three large enterprise application developments in the last few years (two in the finance sector, and one in on-line auctioning).

ARM yourself for Enterprise Application Development: Part 1
Mark Collins-Coppe, Ratio
If you've been involved in large scale software development for any length of time, you'll surely recognise the following symptoms of application architecture and design decay:
- cut'n'paste repetative code
- code duplication
- chaotic package structure
- everyone keeps treading on everyone else's toes
- automated testing is difficult
- bug fixing is difficult
- the whole application seems to be unstable
The architectural reference model (ARM) is made up of five architectural stata (Interface, Application, Domain, Infrastructure and Platform). The overriding purpose of the ARM is to provide a clear set of rules for large scale application decomposition, that encourage separation of concerns, maximises re-use of code (primarily) within the application and (secondarily) across applications, that leads to good code factoring without duplication, and increases application stability in the face of changing requirements. |
