Design Pattern Automation
Despite the high total cost of ownership of a line of code, a lot of boilerplate code still gets written every day. Much of it could be avoided if we only had smarter compilers. Indeed, most boilerplate code stems from repetitive implementation of design patterns that are so well-understood that they could be implemented automatically if we had a way to teach it to compilers.

Refactoring Legacy Applications: A Case Study
To refactor legacy code, the ideal is to have a suite of unit tests to prevent regressions. However it's not always that easy. This article describes a methodology to safely refactor legacy code.

Interview with Simon Cropp of Fody and Notify Property Weaver
Last month we introduced Simon Cropp’s Notify Property Weaver. Since then we’ve had a chance to talk with Simon about IL weaving in general and his other project, the extensible AOP tool Fody.

Codesign Challenges for Exascale Systems: Performance, Power, and Reliability
In this IEEE article, authors talks about how a codesign methodology using modeling can benefit exascale computing systems with improved performance, power efficiency, and reliability. The five factors discussed in the codesign process are algorithms, application, programming model, runtime system, and hardware architecture.

Trust is good, Control is better - Software Architecture Assessment
Testing is an important means to obtain information about implementations. Likewise, code reviews help to keep the code quality high. What is very common for code, gets sometimes neglected for software architecture. But how can a project team test the architecture itself? Software architecture assessment represents an effective approach for introspecting and assessing software design.

Interview and Book Excerpt: Dan Haywood's Domain-Driven Design Using Naked Objects
Domain-Driven Design Using Naked Objects book, by author Dan Haywood, covers the Domain-Driven Design topic using the open-source Java framework Naked Objects framework (which is now part of the Apache Isis incubator project). InfoQ spoke with Dan about the book, Naked Objects framework and its recent submission to be an Apache project.

Hades - JPA Repositories Done Right
Almost every application has to access data to do its work. In a domain driven design approach one defines repositories for the entities that make up the domain. Java developers often use JPA to implement these repositories. Hades is an open source library that's built on top of JPA and Spring to significantly improve the implementation of data access layers by reducing the effort required.

SOA Manifesto - 4 Months After
It is four months since the SOA manifesto was announced; InfoQ interviewed the original author’s and in some cases pulled in their comments on the manifesto from the web to get a broad understanding of the manifesto, as well as provide insight into the goals of the participants, individually and as a whole, and provide transparency to the mechanics involved in putting together such an initiative.

Strategic Domain Driven Design with Context Mapping
Many approaches to object oriented modeling tend not to scale well when the applications grow in size and complexity. Context Mapping technique can be used to manage the complexity in large software development projects. In this article, author Alberto Brandolini discusses the many sides of bounded contexts and how to use them to build a context map to support key decisions in a software project.
