[PRL] Fwd: [Colloq] REMINDER: Talk by Neeraj Sangal, Lattix, Inc., TODAY, May 25, 12pm

[Matthias Felleisen]

The DSM is an nifty alternative representation to the usual UML class 
hierarchy stuff. I encountered it in business school many years ago, 
though didn't think it required any attention. Well here is an example. 
It's worth 15 minutes of your attention. Go! -- Matthias

> Abstract:
> This talk will present a Dependency Structure Matrix (DSM) based
> approach to specify and manage the architecture of large software
> systems. The system is decomposed into a hierarchy of subsystems with
> the dependencies between the subsystems presented in the form of a 
> matrix.
>
> This yields a number of key benefits: The adaptation of DSM is highly
> scalable compared to the directed graph approaches that are common
> today. The specification is precise and architectural violations can be
> checked automatically. Finally, there are a variety of matrix 
> algorithms
> that can be applied to organize the matrix in a form that reflects the
> architecture and highlights patterns and problematic dependencies. The
> talk will show the actual application of this technique to a real
> open-source system to see how it can be used to discover, analyze and
> manage existing systems.
