Architecture Buzzword Bingo

  • Article

So I had to deliver a Keynote about architecture at the EMEA Patterns and Practises summit here in the UK this morning. It’s always a challenge to talk about architecture in general rather than specifics and I also wanted to tie it down to specific tools and hence Team System. In the end I came up with the following agenda:

* IT Issues

* Complexity

* Cost

* Agility

* IP

* Frameworks and EA

* Architecture

* Patterns

* Modelling (MDA, UML)

* Technology

* Tools

* DSLs and AOP

* PLF’s and Software Factories

* Platform

* SOA

* Utility and Grid

* IT Process

* SDLC

* Team System

* Operations

* DSI and SDM

On looking at the list it occurred that it was a huge number of TLA’s and buzzwords, indeed it was pretty well all the buzzwords that are out there in IT today. So the question is did I miss any?

Anyway it was a fun talk to give.

    What about breaking down Cost into:

    TCO
    Start up
    Maintainence

    Also, under IT Process / Operations:

    SLAs

    Yes, but they are all old buzzwords!
