Zoom sessions on: \n\n \n Oct 5-7an d Oct 12-14\, 11-13\, 2026 at 11 am - 3:30 pm Eastern Time ( 6 x 4 hr sess ions\, with a 30 minute break each day) \n \n\n Overview\nWe work in small teams on creating a draft system design and architecture\, and lecture to pics are driven by the concerns that are being addressed as we do so. This allows us to work on shaping a system design\, moving from exploring the system concept to architectural definition\, weaving guidance\, discussion and practice.\nAs we iterate through architecture design with its trade-o ffs\, decision making\, modeling and specification\, we grapple with: \n\n \n system design: systems concepts\, uncertainty and complexity\, context \, framing\, constraints\, forces and trade-offs. \n business and technica l strategy \n system capabilities and properties: understanding needs/conc erns and designing system capabilities and system properties including run -time qualities such as scalability and reliability\, and development-time qualities such as evolvability/extensibility. \n architectural patterns: structural patterns such as layers\, hexagonal architecture\, and microser vices\, and mechanisms that may be architecturally significant in various contexts. \n systems and architecture modeling including an introduction t o (just enough\, as relevant) Unified Modeling Language (UML) and C4\, but drawing on other templates and modeling as appropriate to the design stag e and its decision focus. \n architectural views: structural views help do cument and communicate the architecture in terms of the components and the ir relationships\, and are useful in assessing architectural qualities lik e extensibility. Behavioral views are useful in thinking through how the c omponents interact to accomplish their assigned responsibilities and evalu ating the impact of what-if scenarios on the architecture. Behavioral view s are especially useful in assessing run-time qualities such as performanc e and security. Execution views help in evaluating physical distribution o ptions and documenting decisions. \n component specification\, interfaces and APIs: components are identified and assigned responsibilities\, and in terfaces are designed. \n key architectural design principles and heuristi cs\, including abstraction\, separation of concerns\, postponing decisions \, and simplicity\, and related techniques such as interface hiding and en capsulation\, as well as system decomposition principles\, factoring and r efactoring\, and good interface design. \n architecture improvement: we pa use periodically to consider what it means to improve and evolve systems a nd their design\, and why\, when and how to do that. \n \n\n Instructor: R uth Malan \n\n Outside the US/Canada/EU/UK: Please contact us before enrol ling (there are sales tax implications\, etc.). \n\n More information: www .ruthmalan.com \n LAST-MODIFIED:20260409T184817 LOCATION:Remote ORGANIZER:mailto:training@bredemeyer.com SUMMARY:System Design Workshop Oct 2026 URL;VALUE=URI:https://ti.to/bredemeyer/system-design-may-2026 URL;VALUE=URI:https://ti.to/bredemeyer/system-design-may-2026 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260419T103647Z UID:jHTpZA1094142 DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261005T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261005T153000 CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20251227T150032 LAST-MODIFIED:20260409T121659 ORGANIZER:mailto:training@bredemeyer.com SUMMARY:[System Design Workshop Oct 2026] System Design Day 1 URL;VALUE=URI:https://ti.to/bredemeyer/system-design-may-2026 URL;VALUE=URI:https://ti.to/bredemeyer/system-design-may-2026 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260419T103647Z UID:jHTpZA1094143 DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261006T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261006T153000 CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20251227T150032 LAST-MODIFIED:20260409T121713 ORGANIZER:mailto:training@bredemeyer.com SUMMARY:[System Design Workshop Oct 2026] System Design Day 2 URL;VALUE=URI:https://ti.to/bredemeyer/system-design-may-2026 URL;VALUE=URI:https://ti.to/bredemeyer/system-design-may-2026 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260419T103647Z UID:jHTpZA1094144 DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261007T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261007T153000 CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20251227T150032 LAST-MODIFIED:20260409T121726 ORGANIZER:mailto:training@bredemeyer.com SUMMARY:[System Design Workshop Oct 2026] System Design Day 3 URL;VALUE=URI:https://ti.to/bredemeyer/system-design-may-2026 URL;VALUE=URI:https://ti.to/bredemeyer/system-design-may-2026 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260419T103647Z UID:jHTpZA1094145 DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261012T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261012T153000 CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20251227T150032 LAST-MODIFIED:20260409T121742 ORGANIZER:mailto:training@bredemeyer.com SUMMARY:[System Design Workshop Oct 2026] System Design Day 4 URL;VALUE=URI:https://ti.to/bredemeyer/system-design-may-2026 URL;VALUE=URI:https://ti.to/bredemeyer/system-design-may-2026 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260419T103647Z UID:jHTpZA1094146 DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261013T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261013T153000 CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20251227T150032 LAST-MODIFIED:20260409T121755 ORGANIZER:mailto:training@bredemeyer.com SUMMARY:[System Design Workshop Oct 2026] System Design Day 5 URL;VALUE=URI:https://ti.to/bredemeyer/system-design-may-2026 URL;VALUE=URI:https://ti.to/bredemeyer/system-design-may-2026 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260419T103647Z UID:jHTpZA1094147 DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261014T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261014T153000 CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20251227T150032 LAST-MODIFIED:20260409T121808 ORGANIZER:mailto:training@bredemeyer.com SUMMARY:[System Design Workshop Oct 2026] System Design Day 6 URL;VALUE=URI:https://ti.to/bredemeyer/system-design-may-2026 URL;VALUE=URI:https://ti.to/bredemeyer/system-design-may-2026 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
