OOPSLA 2005 - Day one

Well, things are looking up. The tutorial by Joseph Yoder on Adaptive Architectures was very good and just-in-time. My client wants to add some a new feature and this technique is very good fit. The downside seems to be the lack of tool support and the use of hash tables (something I personally don't like) but the upside is the addition of additional items could be user controlled.

The roots of the adaptive architecture seem to stretch back to the analysis patterns from Fowler which I read back in '98.

Also seems to be some similarities with the Cocoa framework that I will look at in later blog.
