  Design Research in the Netherlands 2000
  

  The proceedings of Design Research in the Netherlands 2005 bring together researchers from architecture, industrial design, civil engineering, aerospace engineering, philosophy, and computer science to discuss work of the period 2000-2005 in the area of design. These proceedings are from the third installment of the symposium, following those from 1995 and 2000, and thus chart over 10 years of design research as it is performed in the Netherlands. The symposium took place 19-20 May 2005. The organisers were Henri Achten, Kees Dorst, Pieter Jan Stappers, and Bauke de Vries.

  Drools is a business rule management system (BRMS) and an enhanced Rules Engine implementation, ReteOO, based on Charles Forgy’s Rete algorithm tailored for the Java language. More importantly, Drools provides for Declarative Programming and is flexible enough to match the semantics of your problem domain with Domain Specific Languages, graphical editing tools, web based tools and developer productivity tools.

  Single Source Information: An Agile Practice for Effective Documentation
  

  Agile Single Sourcing

  There is no reason why you couldn’t take a more agile approach where the structure of your system artifacts emerge over time. This is where the AM practice Single Source Information comes in. When you are modeling you should always be asking the questions “Do I need to retain this information permanently?”, “If so, where is the best place to store this information?” and “Is this information already captured elsewhere that I could simply reference?”.

  FMC - Quick Introduction to Fundamental Modeling Concepts
  

  FMC is the acronym for “Fundamental Modeling Concepts”, primarily a consistent and coherent way to think and talk about dynamic systems. It enables people to communicate the concepts and structures of complex informational systems in an efficient way among the different types of stakeholders. A universal notation originating from existing standards, easy to learn and to apply, is defined to visualize the structures and to communicate in a coherent way. In contrast to most of the visualization and modeling standards of today it focuses on human comprehension of complex systems on all levels of abstraction by clearly separating conceptual structures from implementation structures. FMC is based on strong theoretical foundations, has successfully been applied to real-life systems in practice (at SAP, Siemens, Alcatel etc.) and also is being taught in software engineering courses at the Hasso Plattner Institute for Software Systems Engineering.
