Accidental Complexity • Redundant Information • Same System may be fully described in a more succinct manner • Ability to easily re-factor enables Accidental Complexity to be driven out over time FITE Club (London) www.paremus.com April 2010 Copyright © 2010 Paremus Ltd.

Necessary Complexity When all accidental complexity is stripped away - we are left with necessary complexity... •The actual ‘structure’ of the System •Adaptive Systems are by necessity more complex than non- adaptive Systems Strategies for dealing with necessary complexity? •Abstraction •Perhaps a change Perspective / Representation FITE Club (London) www.paremus.com April 2010 Copyright © 2010 Paremus Ltd.

Abstraction & Virtualisation Virtualisation - Emulates the characteristics of an entity Abstraction - Masks the complexity of the entity (physical or virtual), providing a simplified description Abstraction and Virtualisation are orthogonal & complementary concerns • As system complexity increases - stop attempting a microscopic description use emergent macroscopic characteristics • Boundaries - Where/when does it makes sense to change point of view? • Several such boundaries may exist! • Manage via emergent macroscopic properties and operational complexity should dramatically reduce • Conversely virtualisation ‘strategies’ never decrease operational complexity Source - Richard Nicholson - Paremus https://adaptevolve.paremus.com/?p=18 FITE Club (London) www.paremus.com April 2010 Copyright © 2010 Paremus Ltd.

Cloud 3. Robust & Recovery Oriented A system accident is an "unanticipated interaction of multiple failures" in a complex system. This complexity can either be technological or organizational, and often has elements of both. (Normal Accidents - Perrow 1984) Complex Systems tend to suffer correlated & cascading failures!

Development The Service Fabric does not mandate any particular IoC framework.

System Architecture - Communication Service Fabric does not enforce any particular architectural ‘form’ • Messaging middleware / protocols are the concerns of each System; via choice of bindings and infrastructure components • SEDA, ESB, Broker, P2P patterns are all possible • Low latency, batch grid, order matching & transactional message based Systems may be concurrently supported on the same Fabric FITE Club (London) www.paremus.com April 2010 Copyright © 2009 Paremus Ltd.

System Architecture - Data / Caching Service Fabric does not enforce an particular data model. A true No-SQL Platform as a Service (PaaS): • Unstructured data processing - Hadoop • Key / Value - Voldemort • Column - Cassandra • Graph Database - Neo • Relational - Derby, MySQL FITE Club (London) www.paremus.com April 2010 Copyright © 2009 Paremus Ltd.

A self-configuring PaaS Service Fabric - ‘I need to deploy a Servlet containers for this WAR based service!’ EAR EAR war Avoid middleware lock-in. Avoid bending you business systems to the dictates of monolithic middleware.
