This has been a fascinating issue to put together, Eugenio Pace partly because of the different perspectives that many people in our Javed Sikander profession bring to the table, but also because of the passion involved in Philip Teale defi ning what is still a very emerging profession.

  • Dynamic Software Architectures
    Dynamic Software Architectures A Style-Based Modeling and Refinement Technique with Graph Transformations DISSERTATION in Computer Science submitted to the Faculty of Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, and Mathematics University of Paderborn by Sebastian Th¨one in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of doctor rerum naturalium (Dr. rer. nat.) Paderborn, October 2005 ii Abstract A good architectural design allows to capture the overall complexity of large, distributed systems at a higher level of abstraction. This is especially im- portant for reconfigurable systems where the architectural configuration is subject to (constant) changes at runtime. When designing such a dynamic architecture, the software architect has to bring the functional business re- quirements and the available communication and reconfiguration mechanisms of the intended target platform in line. As it is a complex task to incorporate these often diverging requirements into the architectural model, we propose a stepwise approach similar to the MDA initiative. We start with a platform-independent model capturing the business requirements and add platform-specific details in a later step. For each level of platform abstraction and associated platform, we define an ar- chitectural style which describes the characteristics of the platform. This way, conformance to the architectural style entails consistency between model and the underlying platform. Besides run-time configurations of components and connections, archi- tectural models also comprise the description of processes that control the communication and reconfiguration behavior. To provide operational seman- tics, we formalize architectural models as graphs and architectural styles as graph transformation systems. UML is added as high-level modeling language on top, and profiles are used to adapt UML to certain architectural styles.

The result is that there are many people to thank, both here and in the chapter notes at the end of the book. First, the person other than me who worked the hardest, my wife, Anne. No project like this could be done without a strong partner. Anne was all that and more. Her constant support and understanding made this possible, and the price was significant, from all the Sundays taking care of the kids while I worked at Starbucks to the lost evenings, absent vacations, nights out not taken, and other costs of an all-consuming project.

The last 3 years have seen considerable growth for this program, supported in part by our expansion with specific regional and country programs to better represent our diverse global audience and the growing use of mobile. This celebration of, by equal measures, strategy, execution, creativity and results for individual campaigns allows us to recognize the leaders and innovators who put mobile at the heart of what they do to drive closer consumer engagement. Just as importantly, it also allows us to develop a unique and invaluable resource for the industry and our members. By curating each of the finalist submissions into case studies, the MMA continue to build a Case Study Hub that provides inspiration and benchmarks for all our members and the wider industry. Having a unique resource with this much depth allows us to constantly update what it means to be successful with mobile. By providing a stage for those willing to continuously push the envelope and show the industry what’s possible, the Hub serves as a beacon for the rest of the industry, who are figuring out how to get there – as quickly as possible. If you haven’t yet checked out the Case Study Hub, I’d encourage you to do so.

Given the opportunity to network with other industry leaders at an intimate event like this, unsurprising that it has always been well attended and received. But this year saw a marked difference in response, with tickets selling out close to two months before the event. It’s a simple point, but one worth repeating, we are seeing a shift in the way brands are approaching mobile. As budgets get re-allocated, the opportunity for technology and media partners increases, potentially quite dramatically. Unsurprising then, that we have seen a fast and decisive response from leaders in those sectors to this year’s event, but just as importantly the commitment from leading brands to the event as well. Useful to share the indicators we are seeing that the shift we have predicted and spoken about is happening. We look forward to making further announcements in 2015 about brands commitment to mobile, supported by the release of further insights and results from our ongoing SmoX Study. Also worth mentioning, we’ll be opening registration for the 2016 CEO & CMO Summit very shortly… As always, please let the MMA team know if there is anything we can do to help your mobile efforts.
