These will have async work coordin ated over Slack\, and in-class work\, coordinated over Zoom\, on: \n\n \n Oct 20-22 and Oct 27-29\, 2025 at 11 am - 3:30 pm Eastern Time ( 6 x 4 hr sessions\, with a 30 minute break each day) (this date has been shifted fr om September) \n \n\n Overview\nWe work in small teams on creating a draft system design and architecture\, and lecture topics are driven by the con cerns that are being addressed as we do so. This allows us to work on shap ing a system design\, moving from exploring the system concept to architec tural definition\, weaving guidance\, discussion and practice.\nAs we iter ate through architecture design with its trade-offs\, decision making\, mo deling 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 technical strategy \n system capab ilities and properties: understanding needs/concerns and designing system capabilities and system properties including run-time qualities such as sc alability and reliability\, and development-time qualities such as evolvab ility/extensibility. \n architectural patterns: structural patterns such a s layers\, hexagonal architecture\, and microservices\, and mechanisms tha t may be architecturally significant in various contexts. \n systems and a rchitecture modeling including an introduction to (just enough\, as releva nt) Unified Modeling Language (UML) and C4\, but drawing on other template s and modeling as appropriate to the design stage and its decision focus. \n architectural views: structural views help document and communicate the architecture in terms of the components and their relationships\, and are useful in assessing architectural qualities like extensibility. Behaviora l views are useful in thinking through how the components interact to acco mplish their assigned responsibilities and evaluating the impact of what-i f scenarios on the architecture. Behavioral views are especially useful in assessing run-time qualities such as performance and security. Execution views help in evaluating physical distribution options and documenting dec isions. \n component specification\, interfaces and APIs: components are i dentified and assigned responsibilities\, and interfaces are designed. \n key architectural design principles and heuristics\, including abstraction \, separation of concerns\, postponing decisions\, and simplicity\, and re lated techniques such as interface hiding and encapsulation\, as well as s ystem decomposition principles\, factoring and refactoring\, and good inte rface design. \n architecture improvement: we pause periodically to consid er what it means to improve and evolve systems and their design\, and why\ , when and how to do that. \n \n\n Instructor: Ruth Malan \n\n Outside the US/EU: Please contact us before enrolling (for various reasons\, includin g sales tax\, as well as purchase parity pricing options). \n\n More infor mation: www.ruthmalan.com \n LAST-MODIFIED:20251019T102546 LOCATION:Remote ORGANIZER:mailto:training@bredemeyer.com SUMMARY:System Design Workshop October 2025 URL;VALUE=URI:https://ti.to/bredemeyer/system-design-sept-2025 URL;VALUE=URI:https://ti.to/bredemeyer/system-design-sept-2025 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260730T084038Z UID:J2CIOA1083028 DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251020T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251020T153000 CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20250306T130829 LAST-MODIFIED:20251019T123816 ORGANIZER:mailto:training@bredemeyer.com SUMMARY:[System Design Workshop October 2025] System Design Oct 2025 Day 1 URL;VALUE=URI:https://ti.to/bredemeyer/system-design-sept-2025 URL;VALUE=URI:https://ti.to/bredemeyer/system-design-sept-2025 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260730T084038Z UID:J2CIOA1083029 DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251021T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251021T153000 CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20250306T130829 LAST-MODIFIED:20251019T123816 ORGANIZER:mailto:training@bredemeyer.com SUMMARY:[System Design Workshop October 2025] System Design Oct 2025 Day 2 URL;VALUE=URI:https://ti.to/bredemeyer/system-design-sept-2025 URL;VALUE=URI:https://ti.to/bredemeyer/system-design-sept-2025 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260730T084038Z UID:J2CIOA1083030 DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251022T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251022T153000 CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20250306T130829 LAST-MODIFIED:20251019T123816 ORGANIZER:mailto:training@bredemeyer.com SUMMARY:[System Design Workshop October 2025] System Design Oct 2025 Day 3 URL;VALUE=URI:https://ti.to/bredemeyer/system-design-sept-2025 URL;VALUE=URI:https://ti.to/bredemeyer/system-design-sept-2025 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260730T084038Z UID:J2CIOA1083031 DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251027T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251027T153000 CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20250306T130829 LAST-MODIFIED:20251019T123816 ORGANIZER:mailto:training@bredemeyer.com SUMMARY:[System Design Workshop October 2025] System Design Oct 2025 Day 4 URL;VALUE=URI:https://ti.to/bredemeyer/system-design-sept-2025 URL;VALUE=URI:https://ti.to/bredemeyer/system-design-sept-2025 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260730T084038Z UID:J2CIOA1083032 DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251028T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251028T153000 CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20250306T130830 LAST-MODIFIED:20251019T123816 ORGANIZER:mailto:training@bredemeyer.com SUMMARY:[System Design Workshop October 2025] System Design Oct 2025 Day 5 URL;VALUE=URI:https://ti.to/bredemeyer/system-design-sept-2025 URL;VALUE=URI:https://ti.to/bredemeyer/system-design-sept-2025 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260730T084038Z UID:J2CIOA1083033 DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251029T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251029T153000 CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20250306T130830 LAST-MODIFIED:20251019T123816 ORGANIZER:mailto:training@bredemeyer.com SUMMARY:[System Design Workshop October 2025] System Design Oct 2025 Day 6 URL;VALUE=URI:https://ti.to/bredemeyer/system-design-sept-2025 URL;VALUE=URI:https://ti.to/bredemeyer/system-design-sept-2025 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
