The first Global Architecture Summit was a great success, attracting a large number of people from across Europe and beyond. I participated in a number of panels on how to measure the effectiveness of architectural practices and the future of software architecture as a discipline and an activity. Great event to be part of. Looking…

ACCU 2019 was another great event in this venerable UK conference series, well done to Russell Winder and the team who ran it this year. I was lucky enough to be able to present a talk on how security principles help development teams to make good decisions about the security of their systems.

I ran a session, with Andy Longshaw and Nick Rozanski, on technical debt at the BCS SPA 2019 conference in June, which went well. So well in fact that we are planning some sort of follow up workshop later in the year. In the meantime, the slides and session outputs are here.

This paper was presented at ECSA 2017 and is the result of an observation that a common difficulty for new architects is knowing where to focus their effort to maximise their effectiveness. This led us to wonder whether successful experienced architects have reusable heuristics or guidelines that they follow to help them prioritise their work.…

An IEEE Software Pragmatic Architect column that discusses the role of architecture in optimising energy efficiency of large scale applications and suggests some relevant architecture principles based on a case study at a large Internet firm.

In this IEEE Software Pragmatic Architect column I explore the idea that a software architect should continue to code and explores the benefits and problems of encouraging this practice.

An IEEE Software Pragmatic Architect column that discusses how the software industry has changed in five quite distinct generations and how software architecture has changed in response to the challenges of each era and will continue to change in future eras.

An IEEE Software Pragmatic Architect column explaining why architecture principles are such a powerful and effective way of communicating architectural ideas and constraints.
