A Practical Architecture for an Anycast CDN

ACM Transactions on the Web, 2011
IP Anycast has many attractive features for any service that involve the replication of multiple instances across the Internet. IP Anycast allows multiple instances of the same service to be “naturally” discovered, and requests for this service to be delivered to the closest instance. However, while briefly considered as an enabler for content delivery

Praxis, Practice and Practice Architectures

2013
In this chapter, a view of praxis and practice is outlined that allows us to re-imagine the work of teaching, learning and leading. It does so, first, by reconnecting with a lifeworld perspective on practice as a human and social activity with indissoluble moral, political and historical dimensions.

Information visualisation for the architectural practice

Proceedings Fifth International Conference on Information Visualisation, 2002
Information is a critical element for architects to accomplish their tasks. The overwhelming increase in and complexity of digital information has revealed problems concerning information acquisition. New techniques of handling information are needed to improve the transformation of data into information, and then into knowledge.

Architecture Reviews: Practice and Experience

IEEE Software, 2005
Architecture reviews have evolved over the past decade to become a critical part of our continuing efforts to improve the state of affairs. We use them to identify project problems before they become costly to fix and to provide timely information to upper management so that they can make better-informed decisions. It provides the foundation for reuse,

Information architectures: Methods and practice

Information Processing & Management, 1986
Abstract The concept of an information architecture is explored as a fundamental building block underlying the development of effective information systems. An information architecture is a personnel-, organization- and technology-independent profile of the major information categories used within an enterprise.

Architectural Prototyping in Industrial Practice

2008
Architectural prototypingis the process of using executable code to investigate stakeholders' software architecture concerns with respect to a system under development. Previous work has established this as a useful and cost-effective way of exploration and learning of the design space of a system, in addressing issues regarding quality attributes, in ...

Practice Architectures

The theory of practice architectures has been emerging in common parlance in qualitative research investigating the nature and conduct of education (and other) practices since it was first introduced in 2008. The theory was developed to capitalize on “the practice turn” in social life and organizational activity.

An information system in architectural practices

Proceedings of the June 1971 design automation workshop on Design automation - DAC '71, 1971
The described computer-based information system provides a minimum of restrictions for future development, and can meet the immediate demands of the architectural profession within limits of ecomonic feasibility.

Design and evolution of software architecture in practice

Proceedings Technology of Object-Oriented Languages and Systems. TOOLS 32, 2003
With special focus on software architectural issues, we report from the first two major phases of a software development project. Our experience suggests that explicit focus on software architecture in these phases was an important key to success.

Practice Architectures of University Education

2017
This chapter aims to challenge the narrative of the university in decline in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, by showing how earlier forms of university life and practice persist within emerging forms. It uses the resources of practice theory—more precisely, the theory of practice architectures —to illuminate the analysis.
