Joe Yoder and Rebecca Wirfs-Brock
Recently I flew to Brazil to present a talk on AOMs at SugarLoaf PLoP. I did this talk/tutorial with Rebecca Wirfs-Brock. Afterward, I attended the CBSoft conference in Salvador Brazil to talk about Architecture, including the most predominate software architecture deployed to date; Big Balls of Mud.
This included looking at how Agile relates to Architecture. Soon I will travel to Reno for PLoP collocated at SPLASH. I am a co-author on a paper at PLoP called Adaptive Object-Model Metadata Evolver and will also present a tutorial with Rebecca Wirfs-Brock at SPLASH entitled: Rulemakers and Toolmakers: Adaptive Object Models as as Agile Division of Labor. We will be giving a more detailed version of the tutorial at QCon San Francisco which will include hands on experience
The conferences give me a chance to be around other AOM practitioners, meta junkies, and Agile enthusiasts like me. We discuss our projects, papers, and lives. This is how I envision AdaptiveObjectModel.com will be. I want to hear from you, AOM enthusiasts. I want you to write your AOM thoughts out in a blog post and either submit it to our website or ask me for a username and password so you can publish it yourself.
Let’s make AdaptiveObjectModel.com an adaptive, entertaining, meta-discussing, community. Come and join in on the fun!
Dr. Yoder, I attended a workshop given by you on Design Patterns many years ago sponsored by the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ). I remember you talking about the Big Ball Of Mud anti-pattern and this opened my mind in so many levels that it’s hard for me to describe how I felt afterwards. That day was a turning point in my career and I definitely owe you a big THANKS for sharing your knowledge.
I am currently working on rolling my own AOM implementation using Java as the underlying language/platform and I want to get in touch with other practicioners interested in the same subject.
Great site!
Hi Liuz. Thanks for the compliment. I remember you from UFRJ in Rio and enjoyed my visit there. I am very interested in any work you do on an AOM implementation and welcome you to share your experiences on this website. Also, we plan on putting some open source implementations and other writings about AOMs on our site soon. Regards, Joe Y.
