ABSTRACT
Agile practices liberate us from the straightjackets of top-down design. But, the ease with which requirements can change encou-rages users to overwhelm us with requests for features. The result: featuritis, which promotes hasty construction of poorly designed software to support those features. The design of an expressive domain model might get lost in the rush to write working code. Adaptive Object-Models support changeable domain modules by casting business rules as interpreted data and representing objects, properties and relationships in external declarations. Now users can change the system domain models themselves as their business dictates without having to deal with programmers at all. It's the ultimate in agility!

Adaptive object-model evolution patterns
SugarLoafPLoP '10: Proceedings of the 8th Latin American Conference on Pattern Languages of ProgramsAn Adaptive Object-Model (AOM) is a software architecture style that represents user-defined entities, attributes, relationships, and behavior in an object-oriented domain model as metadata. In an AOM implementation, domain entities are constructed from ...
Patterns to develop and evolve architecture during an agile software project
PLoP '15: Proceedings of the 22nd Conference on Pattern Languages of ProgramsThe design of the architecture during an agile project is an ongoing activity that takes place in all phases of a project lifecycle. It is important to continue to evolve the architecture in order to keep it suitable for the software system's current ...
