The Downtown Boston.NET User Group is proud to present Phil Stanhope of Addesso Systems speaking about Occasionally Connected Computing Architectures.
There have been 3 distinct application architectures over the past 30 years -- and, despite conventional wisdom, these architectures have NOT been driven by the evolution OO technologies or the latest buzzword of SOA. Rather, application architectures have been driven at a fundamental level based on networking technologies. A 4th application architecture is emerging and the phrase that we use to describe it is Occasionally Connecting Computing (OCC). OCC programs and services display many of the (best) attributes and design patterns of both client/server, web-centric, and service-oriented architectures.
This talk will take us through a history of the evolutions that have occured over the past 30 years and highlight some of the critical decisions architects, designers, engineers, and administrators need to consider when deploying the next-generation of software applications.
