Improve your architecture with Dependency Structure Matrix (DSM)

Thursday, May 8, 2008, 6:00pm - 8:00pm
Many times, applications start small and controlled. As the application becomes larger, more complex and tangled, your job gets harder. Things break, change requests take too much time, and new bugs are introduced daily. Hopefully you find those bugs in testing and fix them. Now imagine your team building to one cohesive set of blueprints. The architecture has been defined and everybody understands the system. Developers can conduct impact analysis (even into the database). Estimating changes are easier because you can have visibility. Finally, since fewer problems are introduced, less time is spent on code reviews and maintenance and more time building new features.
Learn an award-winning approach that uses dependencies to manage the architecture of software systems. You will learn how a DSM can be used to map the application architecture including its dependencies to databases and frameworks, identify weaknesses in your software, track architectural evolution and how you to approach refactoring. This is meant to be interactive and we will use a real Java application.
Presenter Bio:
Neeraj Sangal is a leading authority on software systems visualization. Neeraj is CTO of Lattix and is currently evangelizing the use of Dependency Structure Matrix (DSM) in software architecture and development. This award-winning approach utilizes dependencies for the creation of highly scalable models that permit a precise specification and enforcement of the architecture in addition to crystal clear visibility for development teams. Prior to Lattix, Neeraj was President of Tendril Software, a leader in model-driven development and synchronized UML models. Prior to Tendril, Neeraj managed a distributed development organization at Hewlett-Packard.
Neeraj recently presented at JavaOne and received a top 10% rating as a presenter granting him a "Java Rock Star" status.
