Value of Pattern in Fabric-based computing model

Almost two years back I wrote a small column about the value of pattern in Architecture Design, this is now more relevant in today’s fabric-based computing (FBC) model. IBM and Oracle have already adopted fabric-based computing, I am sure other vendors are also in the market or will adopt FBC model soon. Architect will now have to include pattern analysis in their architecture designing method. If we cannot establish the pattern correctly we will land up into old stove-pipe scenario. Pattern and non-functional requirements will be the standard for Architecture Design work for the new FBC model.

Pattern are not something new, it is around for a long time. Pattern landscape encompassing both structural architecture and behavioral architecture will help to determine the right configuration of FBC model. Please stay tune for detail on Pattern Landscape design.
