The document defines software architecture as the structure of software elements, their observable characteristics, and relationships between them. It is influenced by technical, business, and social factors. The architecture includes elements like programs, classes, packages, modules, functions, methods, components, servers, files, libraries, and databases. It describes relationships between elements like decomposition, uses, layers, classes, client-server, process, concurrency, shared data, deployment, and implementation. The architecture is important for communication, early design decisions, and transferring system qualities and requirements. Software processes involve creating business cases, requirements, selecting/documenting architectures, analysis, implementation, and ensuring conformity. Key attributes of a good architecture include communication, early decisions,

Run-time Monitoring-based Evaluation and Communication Integrity Validation o...Ana Nicolaescu
Architecture descriptions greatly contribute to the understanding, evaluation and evolution of software but despite this, up-to-date software architecture views are rarely available. Typically only initial descriptions of the static view are created
but during the development and evolution process the software drifts away from its description. Methods and corresponding tool support for reconstructing and evaluating the current architecture views have been developed and proposed, but they usually
address the reconstruction of static and dynamic views separately. Especially the dynamic views are usually bloated with low-level information (e.g. object interactions) making the understanding and evaluation of the behavior very intricate. To overcome this,
we presented ARAMIS, a general architecture for building toolbased approaches that support the architecture-centric evolution and evaluation of software systems with a strong focus on their behavior. This work presents ARAMIS-CICE, an instantiation
of ARAMIS. Its goal is to automatically test if the run-time interactions between architecture units match the architecture description. Furthermore, ARAMIS-CICE characterizes the intercepted behavior using two newly-defined architecture metrics.
We present the fundamental concepts of ARAMIS-CICE: its meta-model, metrics and implementation. We then discuss the results of a two-folded evaluation. The evaluation shows very promising results.
Investing in the future means defining a requirements management process and having a tool framework that will allow the investment in requirements definition to be managed as an asset.

Cloud initiatives are beginning to dominate enterprise IT roadmaps. Successful adoption of Cloud and the subsequent governance challenges warrant a Cloud reference architecture that is applied consistently across the enterprise. This presentation will answer questions such as what exactly a Cloud is, why you need it, what changes it will bring to the enterprise, and what the key capabilities of a Cloud infrastructure are - using Oracle's Cloud Reference Architecture, which is part of the IT Strategies from Oracle (ITSO) Cloud Enterprise Technology Strategy (ETS).

Geometric’s PLM Implementation services provide the necessary framework for an organization ensuring that product information is available at the right time for the right function. We help customers to manage enterprise assets, standardize processes and ensure reusability while facilitating process adherence, collaboration and long term sustainability.
How can a company’s applications be scalable and have high availability? To achieve this, along with developing the applications, you must also have an infrastructure that can support them. For example, you may need to add servers or increase the capacities of existing ones, have redundant hardware, add logic to the application to handle distributed computing, and add mechanisms to handle failover. You have to do this even if an application is in high demand for only short periods of time. Life becomes even more complicated (and expensive) when you start to consider issues such as network latency and security boundaries.
The cloud offers a solution to this dilemma. The cloud is made up of interconnected servers located in various data centers. However, you see what appears to be a centralized location that someone else hosts and manages. By shifting the responsibility of maintaining an infrastructure to someone else, you’re free to concentrate on what matters most: the application. If the cloud has data centers in different geographical areas, you can move your content closer to the people who are using it most. If an application is heavily used in Asia, have an instance running in a data center located there. This kind of flexibility may not be available to you if you have to own all the hardware. Another advantage to the cloud is that it’s a “pay as you go” proposition. If you don’t need it, you don’t have to pay for it. When demand is high, you can scale up, and when demand is low, you can scale back.
Yes, by moving applications to the cloud, you’re giving up some control and autonomy, but you’re also going to benefit from reduced costs, increased flexibility, and scalable computation and storage. This guide shows you how to do this.
Who This Book Is For
This book is the first volume in a series about Windows Azure. It demonstrates how you can adapt an existing, on-premises ASP.NET application to one that operates in the cloud. The book is intended for any architect, developer, or information technology (IT) professional who designs, builds, or operates applications and services that are appropriate for the cloud. Although applications do not need to be based on the Microsoft Windows operating system to work in Windows Azure or written using a .NET language, this book is written for people who work with Windows-based systems. You should be familiar with the Microsoft .NET Framework, Microsoft Visual Studio, ASP.NET, and Microsoft Visual C#.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
