In this second post on Object state, we will see what are Fields, Relationships, Properties and Attributes; and why and how to put them all together.

Scope, perimeter of the Ideal Software Architecture.
ISA is about the 5th computing era : The Distribution one.
When the things are done in many computing units, of many kinds, in many places, available to anyone. When the centralization is no more possible.
This post answers the question “What’s a State ?”. It also consider object life cycle and the basic Design Patterns. Finally, Eiffel’s advanced features around state are evoked.
Continue reading The State axiom – Part 1What are the Identity axiom consequences ? Here is a list of studied subject by this post: Addressing, Unitarity, Uniqueness, Ubiquity, Versioning.
Continue reading The Identity axiomWhat is an object ? This is the question this post answered by establishing an axiomatic: Encapsulation, Interface, Behavior, Identity and State.
This post also reveals what is there behind these axioms and begins to explore their implications.
In the perspective to give a basement to ISA, here is an exploration of pros and cons of major paradigms (No paradigm, Object Oriented, Sets (Relational) and Functional). To sum up the OO paradigm is retained for ISA. It is this approach that has made me discover the “Atom Oriented” possible paradigm.
Continue reading Available paradigms overviewWe are facing a problem where it seems we should choose between the idealism pest and the cholera of pragmatism.
Like Charles Sanders Peirce I prefer the pragmaticism word to distinguish this scientific approach of the usual pragmatism to just deal as we can with the real…
ISA should offer a basic common management for specification, design, test, delivery and the like.
The purpose of ISA is to provide a common set of blocks on which any people involved in software can rely at anytime and anywhere.
Another aspect ISA should address is the continuity in the problem/solution chain thru specification/realisation and the abstraction levels.
Think and design ISA to be durable for several decades. The main design patterns should be incorporated as much as possible. This architecture should not limit itself in changes that it can elaborate to have good performances. And this in both dimensions hardware and software. Remain native : It is the condition to do at best of the possible. Define a solid base and then incorporate an extension mechanism.
Continue reading ISA Wish N°6 – Modern, performant and durableThe world, the universe is not centralized. They don’t have center. Any attempt to ignore this fact in an ideal architecture will fail.
Distributed computing and storage have to be at the heart of ISA in order to adhere to the reality.
An other aspect of distribution paradigm, implies that the data and treatments are scaling horizontally. Taking advantage of all 4 dimensions of our universe.
