Glad to hear that a cold-hearted Architect can get something out of being in a room full of developers that doesn't need Ibuprofen to fix :)

Generic mechanisms are one of those things that the software world seems to have been striving to perfect forever. In code we have a bunch of ways of doing it, including language level generics (templates), object orientation etc. Though in architecture we really seem to have focussed on just one: The Pattern (and maybe Ontologies - though I'm not quite so comfortable with that idea, since they seem to be much more about knowledge structure).

Could it be said that modelling languages like UML provide us with enough facilities to achieve generic, reusable architectural "building blocks" - or is something else required?
