01 / ABOUT THIS SESSION

Architecture is often defined as “hard to change”. Within software architecture, an architecture pattern is a reusable solution to a commonly occurring problem in software architecture within a specific context. Architecture anti-patterns are their diabolical counterparts—wherein they sound good in theory, but in practice lead to negative consequences. And given that they affect both the architectural characteristics and the structural design of the system, are incredibly expensive and have far-reaching consequences.

This session explores various architecture patterns, how one can easily fall into anti-patterns, and how one can avoid the antipatterns. We will do qualitative analysis of various architecture patterns and anti-patterns, and introduce fitness functions govern against anti-patterns.
