Problem Set B
1
.
Pattern catalogs that enable the classification and retrieval of software patterns at various levels of specialization are quite limited in existence today. Cataloging typically takes into account the architecture domain, the architecture scope, and the degree of specialization. Can you identify additional criteria that would be useful to provide a more comprehensive way to catalog software patterns?
2
.
Demonstrate how complex architectures may be derived by combining architectural styles.
3
.
Perform some research on the Internet and identify implementation styles that correspond to implementations of the microservices architectural style.
4
.
Consider various large companies you know about and state their operating model (i.e., diversification, unification, coordination, replication). Explain your reasoning.
5
.
Consider creating a vaccine passport as a smart contract on the blockchain platform. Create conceptual business, information system, and technology architecture blueprints to document the architecture of such a solution at a high level.
6
.
Leverage patterns and create logical business, information system, and technology architecture blueprints for the vaccine passport as a smart contract on the blockchain platform.
7
.
Leverage patterns and create information system and technology architecture implementation blueprints for a vaccine passport as a smart contract on the blockchain platform.
8
.
Provide a technical implementation architecture for a vaccine passport as a smart contract on the blockchain platform.
9
.
What is a software stack and what role does it play in solution architecture management?
10
.
Research what the term full stack developer means. Why would this skill set be useful to an organization? Do you think this skill set provides an opportunity for career development into technical leadership positions?
11
.
Research commercially available development tools. Provide pros and cons of using an approach that utilizes a commercially available technology stack tool set.
