| | Dr. Dobb's | Booch Discusses Modeling Web-Based Systems | July 22, 2001 |
 | | Booch cited the adage, "An architect is the first person to walk across the bridge that he has built," and went on to describe software architecture as "the set of significant decisions about the organization of a software system." |
 | | Booch discussed the importance of foresight in web design, noting that many architects fail to adopt a "use case view," in which all probable uses of the site are taken into consideration. |
 | | Booch cautioned the audience to remember that "software architecture is design, but not all design is architecture." The future, said Booch, holds ubiquitous distributed devices such as Jini, T Spaces, Motorola DigitalDNA, and Universal Plug-and-Play, along with virtual worlds, the Web as ODBMS, and codifications of web-based patterns. |
