BOSCHSMALL.GIF (13858 Byte) Object/Relational Access Layers - A Roadmap, Missing Links and More Patterns
Wolfgang Keller, EuroPLoP 1998

Numerous patterns have been written about the design of object/relational database access layers. Looking at the body of pattern literature you will find that some patterns are still to be mined, while there's no generative "one stop" pattern language for the problem domain. This paper provides a systematic roadmap of the patterns in the field. It fills some pot holes on the road towards a full pattern language for object/relational database access layers by providing some missing patterns and links. It focuses on the missing patterns, as writing them all would require integrating some 35+ patterns into a single paper. That's too much for a PLoP paper.

EuroPLoP 2001 A Few Patterns for Managing Large Application Portfolios - Final Proceedings to appear
Wolfgang Keller

Abstract: Merger mania hits the corporate world as a side effect of globalization. Most mergers of companies in the same industries are followed by mergers of their information systems. This paper presents some frequent problems and frequently used solutions to help you manage such information system mergers.

The Bridge to the New Town -  A Legacy System Migration Pattern (2000) -  EuroPLoP 2000, ISBN 3-87940-775-4
Wolfgang Keller

Abstract: If you manage large application portfolios like for a bank or an insurance you are often faced with the challenge to replace a monolithic application system with newer systems. The Bridge to the New Town is a low risk, incremental migration strategy that allows you to stepwise replace an existing legacy with newer components by "thinning out the legacy" one part after the other. The Bridge to the New Town is a very common migration pattern.

ploplogo-small.gif (3668 Byte) Some Patterns for Insurance Systems
Wolfgang Keller, PLoP 1998

Building flexible insurance systems that allow short product release cycles is a challenge for many insurance firms. Despite the huge market and the many projects that do near identical things these projects are still a little bit like black magic. There’s virtually no literature around on the topic. This paper provides a collection of patterns that help explain the basic forces and solutions for the design of product driven insurance systems.

  Seliger denn Tippen der C++-Rahmengenerator GenCxx
iX, Multiuser Multitasking magazin, Januar 1995.

The article discribes a program frame generator that takes object oriented specifications as an input for a first cut generation of class headers and member function frames for C++. Trace code, parameter checks and frames for exception handling are generated automatically. The contents of the underlying specification are inserted into the member function headers. The functional part of the code has to be added by hand. The generator also supports a maintenance concept for both, specification and derived code. The discussion contains do's and nodo's for first-cut generation and practical project experiences with the generator GENCXX
