Uses of pattern language in the urban century

http://blog.jonudell.net/2010/02/15/uses-of-pattern-language-in-the-urban-century/

Jon Udell: I’ve long been familiar with the idea of software patterns. But I didn’t connect it to its roots in the architectural writings of Christopher Alexander until I recently listened to Kent Beck’s keynote at the 2008 Rails conference. Kent was deeply influenced by The Timeless Way of Building. That book wasn’t available in my local library. But the companion volume, A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction, was. It’s been a revelation to read it for the first time, more than thirty years after it was published, through lenses formed by my experience with software and networks.

15 Rules for Rebuilding the World

http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/12.03/play.html

When architect Christopher Alexander released his 1977 manifesto A Pattern Language, he argued that good architecture is simply a matter of applying core principles. The book garnered a small but fanatical following and inspired a movement in software: Programmers, tired of reinventing the wheel, began compiling libraries of solutions for common coding problems. In recent years, the pattern method has influenced interface designers, usability engineers, and game developers like Will Wright. Now Alexander, 67, has a new treatise. Written over the course of three decades, The Nature of Order: An Essay on the Art of Building and the Nature of the Universe (Center for Environmental Structure) is polemical, ambitious, and contrarian. "I didn't set out to write a book about the universe," he says. "I just wanted to heal architecture." The four-volume set outlines the properties that Alexander believes underlie beauty in art, nature, and great buildings. Because his ideas fill 2,150 pages, here's the abridged version.

Toward a Pattern Language for Service-Oriented Architecture and Integration, Part 1: Build a service ecosystem

http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/ws-soa-soi/

As the IT industry matures, we will witness the emergence of more and more successful designs and implementations of Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA). We will also encounter challenges that appear to be recurring in slightly different forms but fundamentally have the same underlying problems. We also tend to repeat solutions with slight variations. To address this, the following patterns have arisen in the context of projects involving Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Service-Oriented Integration (SOI). These projects have focused on the migration, modeling, design, and implementation of Service-Oriented Architecture and in the loosely-coupled integration enabled through services, which is termed Service-Oriented Integration. In this series, we will share these patterns and experiences related to their use. We will provide guidance on how to use them in combination to help solve commonly encountered problems in the migration, modeling, design, and implementation of SOA and SOI.

Describing the Enterprise Architectural Space

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnpag/html/entarch.asp

David Trowbridge, Ward Cunningham, Matt Evans, Larry Brader, Microsoft Platform Architecture Guidance; Paul Slater, Wadeware. This document presents an organizing table that describes the enterprise architectural space, shows relationships among artifacts in the space, and demonstrates how different roles in your enterprise view enterprise architecture. This document also demonstrates how pattern authors can use the organizing table to organize existing patterns and to identify areas where patterns are not currently documented.
