This document provides an overview of the Agile Software Architecture course offered by NISI in 2017. The course consists of 8 sessions covering topics like agile architecture, architectural decision making, quality attributes, feedback and monitoring, and architecture evolution. It is taught by professors from Utrecht University and industry architects. The goal is to help architects think more strategically and discuss real-world cases. Participants come from various roles and companies in consulting, transportation, ERP, public sector and healthcare. They hope to improve their skills and address challenges regarding privacy, security and agility. More information can be found on the course website or by contacting the lead instructor, Slinger Jansen.
An examination at the nexus of agile delivery and architecture, including a hypothesis that Architecture-as-a-Product vs. Information Systems Change-as-a-Product is a key determinant how the agile mindset applies to the practice of architecture.
The presentation concludes with a review of the subject as covered in select industry sources, in particular The Open Group's Open Agile Architecture standard.
Presented to the Perth Solutioniser School Meetup on the 14th of April, 2021.
Help me move away from Oracle! (RMOUG Training Days 2022, February 2022)Lucas Jellema
Organizations with decades of investment in Oracle technology sometimes (and increasingly) express a wish to move away from Oracle. In this session, we will first explore where the desire to move away from Oracle might come from. Then we describe what the term Oracle represents -- more than 2.000 products on all layers in the technology stack and in different business areas. Finally, we map out what the 'moving away from' consists of: defining where you 'move to' and subsequently actually going there.
It will become clear why you should give considerable thought about dropping Oracle, or any other vendors' technology, when you're not pleased with your current IT situation. You need to focus on the actual problems and objectives and define the suitable roadmap to fit your real needs. It turns out that the quest is usually for modernization and flexibility - and Oracle can very well be a part of that future.

Facilitating continuous delivery in a FinTech world with Salt, Jenkins, Nexus...Chocolatey Software
Michel Buczynski, DevOps Coach at TD Securities: Most of the developments in FinTech are hybrid, they rely of both legacy and modern or more agile technologies. We will show how Chocolatey Business Edition can become the centerpiece of a CD pipeline. We will explain in detail how to integrate Chocolatey with Jenkins, Nexus, SaltStack to deploy micro-services both on legacy and cloud platform. We will show how the Chocolatey Agent (Self-Service Installer) with the help of Nexus repos, permit a secure continuous deployment of custom desktop applications on users' workstations and make the use of Citrix XenApp servers almost obsolete. Show how the Package Builder, Synchronizer, Downloader and Internalize simplify the day to day operation of developers.
Dutch Oracle Architects Platform - Reviewing Oracle OpenWorld 2017 and New Tr...Lucas Jellema
Not since the rise of Service Oriented Architecture (and the supporting Fusion Middleware technology) over a decade ago have we seen so much rapid change in terms of application and infrastructure architecture. Cloud, Microservices and DevOps are perhaps the most explicit examples – but many other developments in technology, architecture and even the industry at large have an impact on how enterprises consider and employ IT – such as machine learning, IoT, blockchain.
In this session for (infrastructure, solution, application, enterprise, security, data) architects – we will present the main stories, roadmaps and technologies from Oracle OpenWorld 2017 (and JavaOne) that influence, shape and enable architecture. We will brainstorm together on the consequences of the new directions outlined by Oracle – and coming our way from other quarters. We are seeing a a lot of change. New opportunities arise – that may become challenges or threats if we fail to recognize and embrace the change in time. This session will help us all to get a better handle on the winds in enterprise IT in general and in Oracle land in particular.
Among the topics we will present and discuss are:
- The Only Way is Up – the inevitable and imminent move from on premises to the cloud, and upwards in the stack – from IaaS to SaaS
- Security and Ops in a hybrid landscape (multiple clouds & on premises, multiple technologies & interaction channels)
- Autonomous Database – what, when, how
- Oracle’s cloud strategy, High PaaS and Low PaaS, Open [source] technology (star of the show: Apache Kafka) and the commodization of the traditional Oracle platform
- Container and Cloud Native at Oracle Cloud (Docker, Kubernetes Container Platform, Wercker, Istio Service Mesh, CNCF)
- Serverless
- Java Reborn – for microservices and cloud, modularized (highlights from the JavaOne conference)
- Disruptive: Blockchain, IoT, Machine Learning

Meeting Strict Documentation Requirements in AgileTechWell
Teams in many organizations are still expected to produce and maintain significant amounts of documentation. This is generally the case in Federal, state, and local governments where systems must comply with SOX, HIPPA, NAIC, FDA, or SEC directives. In recent years, Agile has made substantial inroads into government and other heavily regulated environments. However, some successful projects have been criticized for failing to generate the expected documentation. Maintaining traditional documentation is a labor-intensive activity that threatens to substantially impair an agile team’s ability to deliver valuable software. Can anything be done to solve this conundrum? Craeg Strong reviews the documentation typically required in heavily regulated environments and discusses specific techniques for reducing, replacing, generating, or “slimming” document deliverables. Craeg reviews specific tools and practices with “before” and “after” snapshots and describes their cost vs. benefit. Gain insights for breaking down one of the last big barriers to significant agile adoption in government and other highly regulated environments.

Cloud Native, Cloud First and Hybrid: How Different Organizations are Approac...Amazon Web Services
The advent of highly scalable, easy-to-deploy technology is transforming both private and public entities – but it’s not a one-size-fits-all approach. Each organization has its own cloud journey to share. Some start with pilot projects, while others jump into mission-critical programs. Adopting the cloud doesn’t mean starting over – it’s about enhancing your existing infrastructure. In this session, learn firsthand from MTCnovo and United Kingdom Data Archive (UKDA) share on how they are using the cloud to build on their existing technologies and learning valuable lessons along the way.
Speaker:
Nathan Cunningham, Associate Director, Big Data, UK Data Archive
Simone Hume, Business Development Manager, Amazon Web Services
Chris Martin, CTO, MTCnovo
Jonathan Snowball, CIO, MTCnovo
SharePoint Migration-What you need to knowOliver Wirkus
A migration to SharePoint is not an easy task and requires extensive and thorough planning to ensure success. This session walks you through all the necessary planning activities and provides established best-practices and recommendation to ensure, your migration planning and migration are efficient and successful.
Develop an Enterprise-wide Cloud Adoption Strategy – Chris MerriganAmazon Web Services
Taking a cloud first approach requires a different approach than you probably had to consider for your initial few workloads in the cloud. You’ll be deploying hybrid environments, and that means taking a broad view of your IT strategy, architecture, and organisational design. In this session, we cover how the CAF framework offers practical guidance and comprehensive guidelines to enterprise organisations, particularly around roles, governance, and efficiency.
How Uber Reduced AWS Costs 15% in 30 DaysDevOps.com
The business climate is brutal. You need to reduce cloud infrastructure costs right now, but without cratering cloud performance or DevOps momentum. In this session, Uber and nOps share the strategies and automation used to reduce AWS costs by 15% in 30 days. Plus, they’ll cover the essential 20% of cost-optimization strategies that can yield 80% of your low-hanging savings. How?
Start with the top five cloud services driving cost. Amazon EC2, Amazon S3, and Amazon RDS are probably on your list.
Eliminate waste, like zombie instances. Are you running automation that’s not deleting instances?
Are you over engineering and not provisioning optimally – changing instance types is easy.
Data storage strategies can deliver savings, like moving unused Amazon EFS volumes and S3 to Glacier.
Depending on your workloads, Amazon EC2 Reserved Instances, Amazon EC2 Spot instances, and AWS Savings Plans can deliver savings with good planning.
These roles will benefit most from this session: software engineering or DevOps lead/manager; chief architect; solutions architect; cloud infrastructure or ops lead/manager.
It’s All About Adoption: How Gilead Sciences Forged a Path to Accelerate ValueScout RFP
Driving change is all about putting the right pieces together in the right order to achieve your long-term goals. But in a rapidly changing environment, how do you get everyone marching in the same direction? This scenario is played out in the extreme in the pharmaceutical and life sciences industry: tasked not only with creating world-changing (and life-changing) treatments, they also have to navigate a complex path to market. Hear how Gilead Sciences and Blackline Group built and executed a plan with Scout’s full platform to deliver immediate results (and measure that success).
A Journey to Enterprise Agility: Migrating 15 Atlassian Instances to Data CenterAtlassian
How do you coordinate the work of thousands of users, balance the need for teams to innovate, optimize performance, and comply with reporting standards and industry regulations?
At Johnson & Johnson we were faced with such a challenge. With 15 Atlassian application instances and tens of thousands of users, we needed to find a viable way to manage applications and our users efficiently. Come hear about our journey—the challenges, best practices, lessons learned, and ROI during one of the largest data transformation migrations we've ever embarked on.
What serverless means for enterprise appsSumit Sarkar
There’s a new approach to app development ripe with misconceptions and more buzzwords to translate to business sponsors. Industry analysts call it serverless, but it’s also known as backend as a service (BaaS), function as a service (FaaS), cloud-native architectures, or microservices—just to name a few. Whatever you call it, this approach is giving developers new freedom to focus on frontend functionality and deliver better, more innovative user experiences and ultimately establish value faster. Let’s discuss the pros and cons of serverless in enterprise architectures.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

• Software product management and architecture
• Agility in Architecture Design
• Openness in Architecture
• Collaboration in Architecture Design
24. Motivation for Architecture
• Software systems are rapidly and continuously growing in size and complexity
• Techniques and tools for developing and maintaining such systems typically play catch-up
• To deal with this problem, many approaches exploit abstraction
– Ignore all but the details of the system most relevant to a task (e.g., developing the user interface
or system-level testing)
– This greatly simplifies the model of the system
– Apply techniques and tools on the simplified model
– Incrementally reintroduce information to complete the “picture”
• Software architecture is such an approach
– Applicable to the task of software design
25. What is Architecture?
• A high-level model of a thing
– Describes critical aspects of the thing
– Understandable to many stakeholders
• architects, engineers, workers, managers, customers
– Allows evaluation of the thing’s properties before it is built
– Provides well understood tools and techniques for constructing the thing
from its blueprint
• Which aspects of a software system are architecturally relevant?
• How should they be represented most effectively to enable
stakeholders to understand, reason, and communicate about a system
before it is built?
• What tools and techniques are useful for implementing an architecture
in a manner that preserves its properties?
27. Architecture: Our Definition
• An abstraction for a software part (system, program, package, class) that
focuses on uses, structure, issues, and risks
• Uses: How users (people and other software) interact with a part and how the
part responds
• Structure: The collection of parts and their interactions and dependencies
• Issues: Things that developers are concerned about, like complexity for a large
system, ease of use, robustness
• Risks: Potential for unwanted results, often related to performance, safety, and
financial and security threats
28. Intent
• When we develop software, we want our software to have an
architecture developed explicitly, not accidentally.
• Its purpose is to allow us to think critically about a product we are
developing before committing to code.
• For large systems an architecture may be represented by a, possibly
large, document.
• For smaller systems and programs it may be presented on a web page
or small collection of diagrams and notes, bound together in some form
of accessible container.
29. Architecture Level
• Systems:
– We usually think of an architecture as describing some large, distributed system.
• Packages:
– But packages also have architectures: uses, users, structure, and issues.
– Package structure relates to the package’s classes and how they interact.
• Classes
– Even a class has an architecture defined by its methods, data structures,
and how they interact.
30. The organization of the Model-View-Controller
Chapter 6 Architectural design 30
32. What Is Software Architecture?
• The architecture of a software system captures major features and design ideas for
a software development project.
• Describes relationship of users with the system
• Describes structure and organizing principles of the system
– Major partitions within the system and their interfaces
– Responsibilities of, and resources needed by, each partition
– Design concepts: data structures, algorithms, data flows that help developers understand
and implement their piece of the system
• Identifies major threads of execution
• Identifies critical timelines and risk areas
– A timeline is a time-based budget for critical threads.
– A risk area identifies objectives and requirements that will be difficult to meet under the
current architectural and design concept or susceptibility to threats.
33. Architectural Concerns
• Goals: Main objectives of the system
• Uses: How people and other software will interact with the system
• Tasks: Activities for a system and its major partitions
• Partitions: Subsystems, packages, and classes that make up the
system; responsibilities
• Interactions: The relationships and data flows between partitions, and
assumptions that partitions have about each other
• Events: Any occurrence that affects system activities
• Views: Appearance of the system to users and its designers
• Performance: Efficient use of computer resources—processor cycles,
network bandwidth, memory
37. Architectural design
• An early stage of the system design process.
• Represents the link between specification and design
processes.
• Often carried out in parallel with some specification activities.
• It involves identifying major system components and their
communications.
38. Architectural abstraction
• Architecture in the small is concerned with the architecture of
individual programs. At this level, we are concerned with the
way that an individual program is decomposed into
components.
• Architecture in the large is concerned with the architecture of
complex enterprise systems that include other systems,
programs, and program components. These enterprise systems
are distributed over different computers, which may be owned
and managed by different companies.
39. Advantages of explicit architecture
• Stakeholder communication
– Architecture may be used as a focus of discussion by system
stakeholders.
• System analysis
– Means that analysis of whether the system can meet its non-
functional requirements is possible.
• Large-scale reuse
– The architecture may be reusable across a range of systems
– Product-line architectures may be developed.
40. The architecture of a language processing
system
Chapter 6 Architectural design 40
41. Architectural design decisions
• Architectural design is a creative process so the process differs
depending on the type of system being developed.
• However, a number of common decisions span all design
processes and these decisions affect the non-functional
characteristics of the system.
42. Architectural design decisions
• Is there a generic application architecture that can be used?
• How will the system be distributed?
• What architectural styles are appropriate?
• What approach will be used to structure the system?
• How will the system be decomposed into modules?
• What control strategy should be used?
• How will the architectural design be evaluated?
• How should the architecture be documented?
43. Architecture reuse
• Systems in the same domain often have similar architectures
that reflect domain concepts.
• Application product lines are built around a core architecture
with variants that satisfy particular customer requirements.
• The architecture of a system may be designed around one of
more architectural patterns or ‘styles’.
– These capture the essence of an architecture and can be instantiated
in different ways.
45. Overview
A framework for architectural knowledge management
(domain models, rule engine, and visualization components)
- Automatic annotation of architectural-significant elements
- Population & recommendation of architecture alternatives and software
solutions to realize architectural design decisions
- Extract architectural decisions (focus on technical decisions) from issue
management system
- Classify them as either structural, behavioral, or banned decisions
- Extract – who raised the concern, who took the decision and when was
the decision made from the issue management system (what is implicit)
- Build user profiles based on the above information
Use the AKM model, user model, and a set of simple heuristics to predict
the possible architectural decisions that will be taken by an architect
47. • Existing work on ADD models do not consider user preferences, project
context, and heuristics to support the decision making process
• AIM
• Extract who took the decision, how long did it take to implement, complexity of tasks
involved based on source code changes
• Extract a decision makers’ preferences related to technologies and types of issues
handled to build user profiles.
• RESULT
• Combining user profiles with the ADD model should support the
recommendation of
• Who should be responsible to address a specific concern?
• What is the cost of addressing a specific concern?
Who did what, and when?
• Who did what and when?
• Use issue management system as the main input source
• Focus on a specific domain (e.g. analytics domain) and
system (e.g. component-based)
?
