Despite recent controversy surrounding an attendance policy that prevented a volleyball player from fully participating in the national championship, East Central College President Jon Bauer said he supports that policy.
Freshman Hannah Leslie, 19, had an excuse note from the athletic director to play in the national championship games last week. However, her biology instructor, Dr. Parvadha Govindaswamy, refused to honor the absence as excused.

So, he decided to try to kill her by flying a small plane into her house. That's bad enough, but did he really have to end his life with a pun?According to the New York Post: "Are you home, Mom? I'm just about to drop in," Konrad Schmidt, 47, called from the cockpit before plunging the plane into his mother's first-floor bedroom on Sunday. Konrad died, but his mother, who was in the basement, survived. She probably emerged into the wreckage and said to herself, "I knew the housing market crashed, but this is ridiculous!"

Since we published the article "Building An Exit Strategy" in our November issue, I've received some great feedback and questions.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is offering opportunities for managed services providers (MSPs), VARs, and integrators to provide solutions and services. If you need to be convinced, see the real-time player stats that appear at the bottom of your screen during an NFL game.
Location-based technology and its impact on how your merchant clients can leverage it to enhance customer experience was a topic for a panel at BlueStar's VARTECH 2015.
More than 60 percent of channel respondents are optimistic about the future of the IT channel, according to CompTIA's 5th Annual State of the Channel report released earlier this month.
The enterprise wearables market is set to hit $6.3 billion by 2020 according to a report from Tractica.
The IT channel has grown 4.5 percent year over year, according to new information from CompTIA's 5th Annual State of the Channel report.
As healthcare moves into an era of EHR (electronic health records) standardization, the industry is left to figure out the best way to measure the concept of interoperability.
The Senate HELP (Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions) Committee is taking on EHR (electronic health records) issues identified through six hearings it conducted this year, the last of which was completed in early October, according to the NationalJournal.
The Smart VAR Summit: Age Of Intelligence – IoT, Cloud, & Mobility Convergence, powered by ScanSource, Zebra Technologies, and Business Solutions on October 14 at Lincoln Financial Field featured outstanding educational presentations from some of the channel's leading experts and vendors.
The technology you deliver to your clients has a lot riding on it — it's expected to save patient lives, make clinician and administrative jobs easier, measure up to government regulations, and do all that while saving money.

Confirmed: "The Flash" Movie's Iris West Is "Dope" Actress Kiersey Clemons
Film, Comic Books
Out of all of the comiXology announcements made in the past few days — and there have been few — this one stands to make the biggest impact: Female readership has increased dramatically since the digital-comics platform launched in 2007.
TechHive reports that six years ago, women represented less than 5 percent of comiXology users; now that figure has rocketed to 20 percent. What's more, the company knows exactly who this reader is: "She's 17-26 years old, college-educated, lives in the suburbs, and is new to comics. She prefers Tumblr to Reddit. She may have never even picked up a print comic."
(Perhaps then it's no coincidence that comiXology abandoned its long-running blog, and launched a very active one in July on Tumblr.)
Erica Friedman, who publishes and blogs about yuri manga (romances featuring two women), got so fed up recently with Marvel and DC acting puzzled about what women want that she designed her own survey. 424 women completed her questionnaire, and the results make interesting reading, especially the answers to the questions about what types of characters women like to see.
Overall, two-thirds of the women surveyed bought their own comics as children, rather than reading someone else's, and the majority read superhero comics. They prefer strong, independent characters who fight for justice, they like women who have a dark side and can fight for themselves, and they would like to see more diversity.
The survey makes interesting companion reading to Hope Larson's survey of the comics habits of teen and tween girls. In both cases, superheroes are the most popular genre, followed by manga (I know, manga isn't a genre, but I didn't write the questions). In both cases the characters were most important, although Hope teased out that the story is key as well. Both groups like a dark side to their comics.
Interestingly, the women who responded to Erica's survey split 43/57 over whether their favorite characters were male or female, which is closer than I would have guessed, and their least favorite traits were "princely," "chaste," "weak," and "damsel in distress." The take-home here is that women already read superhero comics, and what they want isn't really that complicated—more of the same, but better, with more strong characters, especially women who aren't hypersexualized and helpless.

When an obese person loses weight, the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, as well as liver, colon and breast cancers and other diseases linked to obesity, diminishes, right? That might not be the case. A new study by City of Hope researchers found that even after a low-fat diet is consumed, long-term disease risks could persist.
Appearance and emotions are often intertwined, so it stands to reason that improving what's going on outwardly could help a patient - at least emotionally - face what's going on inside with cancer. City of Hope patient Donna McNutt offers tips.

Thank you very much! For instance, may be you could suggest something - we tried to import some existing database into jackrabbit using CQFS repository backend, and importing was success. But when we tried to open the repository - it hold when we tried to log in and obtain a session. We removed our custom access managersetc, used default repository.xml with just changes required to use CQFS. Tried that on both FreeBSD 5.4, Debian and Gentoo with same results.

As for the question itself, you must gauge what you need from the agent who is going to "represent" your best interest in helping you achieve what you seek. For instance, a seller wants someone who is knowledgeable and passionate about his/her business and clients; someone who strives to do right by the client and those with whom s/he deals with in developing the transaction.
Having said this, I have found, like others who have commented on Trulia before, that nowadays some Realtors are going the way of the "Robo-signing" where you deal with machines, emails, voicemails, etc. I have a transaction presently where I believe I have talked with three people over the course of 60 days, and have dealt with at least 20 people who are "robo-handling" this transaction. So, if you prefer to have a real person dealing with you on that level, you ought to ask that question of the agent too.
J. Mario Preza, CRB
1). Interview at least 3 Realtors who specialize in listing in Daly City. Remember a good buyer's agent may not be a good listing agent and vice versa.
2). Hire someone who is a full time Realtor. You don't want to hire a part time Realtor, full time postman or whatever maybe his or her other job is.
3). Make sure the agent you hire is not "Buying Your Listingâ€. Convincing you that they can sell your home for a higher price than the other agents do, and then get back to you in a month or so to lower your price because you are not getting any activity. In this market, you are competing with short sales and bank owned properties. These homes are priced aggressively and most REO's give higher commission to selling agent up to 3.5% or higher to sell their assets faster.
4). Have them prepare a Comparative Market Analysis of your home based on today's market and asked them how they arrive at their suggested listing price.
5). They must have a website to showcase your listing. You must have an internet presence especially in today's market. Ask them for their Marketing Plan.
6). Don't make a mistake of hiring an agent because they have the lowest fee in town. Remember you always get what you pay for.
7). Sign a 90 days listings so that you don't get stuck with them should he or she does not deliver what they promise to do.
Good luck!!

Today as you well know the internet is the primary way buyers find the house they will buy. You will want an agent who knows how to market your property all over the internet and show its best face. Some of the property you have seen don't even have a picture with the listing. Perhaps you know of sellers who don't get a return call in a timely manner.
So find an agent who will come and make a presentation to you and show you just what they will do for you and how it will be done. I too would welcome the opportunity to provide you quality service in real estate. firstname.lastname@example.com Blessings, Ilene

I saw your question and saw that David Tapper has responded to it. I highly recommend, without any reservation, that you give him a call.
I have recently purchased a house after almost 2 years of searching. Through the entire process (which is definitely not stress free), I have talked and worked with many different realtors from different areas and companies.

VizionWare, a Texas-based AV digital interconnect manufacturer, has announced the introduction of a 15m Hi-Wirez HDMI digital interconnect cable. Hi-Wirez combines several active digital technologies, such as image enhancement, signal balancing, digital signal processing, enhanced transmission technology and VizionWare's Optimal Spectral Diffusion, embedded into silicon chips.
Hi-Wirez HDMI cables, which also come in lengths from 1m to 10m, are lightweight and less bulky, making them easy to install in today's complex installation environments. Their ability to reduce EMI emissions and to resist interference generated by external sources provides greater flexibility and increased reliability in wiring runs.
Hi-Wirez digital interconnects do not require intermediate signal boosters like many of today's competitive cable products, eliminating the need for installers to plan for and install these sometimes costly and marginally effective accessories into the cable path between the source and the receiver or display.

All the World's a Stage: But Let's Make It Look Like a Movie


text:
Recently, I entered a website that I designed in a juried show.
A website I'm really proud of and would consider to be some of my
best work, if not the best of my work. Sticky with its
visitors, easy to use, loaded with valuable information, widely
appealing... the list goes on. And I built it all without using
semantic shortcuts.
I really thought that I had a winner. The jury, unfortunately,
did not.
I was disappointed upon getting the news—and then, for a moment,
jealous of my print design peers. They could set type however they
wanted, their design uncompromised by the kinds of limitations I
have to consider when building websites. But the reality is that my
primary area of practice is still new in the scheme of things, and
many people don't understand the challenge of balancing good design
with sound semantics.
I had built my site using semantic code, meaning that content is
structured into different levels (for example, H1 and H2 for major
headers and secondary headers, P tags for paragraphs) and the
structure of the document has meaning. My navigation is HTML-based.
The markup is clear, and there's not a lot of extra "junk" in my
Homepage banner and primary navigation for the author's
scrumptious Dozen Cupcakes website.
All of this is good because it allows the website to be indexed
more easily by search engines. It also means that people with web
accessibility issues will be able to read the page content more
easily. It means that it degrades gracefully to work on a
BlackBerry or cell phone, without serving a different set of
content. It means readable page content loads almost instantly
since it's just HTML.
And it also means that the type can be a bit ugly.
While it's true that the use of CSS to control the appearance of
web pages has come a really long way since its origins in the
mid-1990s, there are still some major typographic challenges that
come with designing for the web. For example, while one can specify
any typeface one wishes in CSS, the viewer needs to have that
typeface installed on his or her machine in order to see what was
intended. And while some technologies have come and gone that allow
a font to be "embedded" in a webpage, none of them have been
reliable on multiple platforms or in different browsers. If
everyone is to get the same experience, more or less, web designers
have but a limited set of typefaces to choose from: Arial, Courier,
Georgia, Times and Verdana (and sometimes Tahoma and
Verdana was designed for screen display at low resolutions
(released in 1996). I, personally, can't stand it for most
applications now that most computers have surpassed the days of
600x400 screen resolutions. Times drives me nuts on the web. Though
I have no problem with Courier, I don't find it appropriate for
most of my clients. Trebuchet and Tahoma are widespread, but not
pervasive. So I'm left to choose between Arial and Georgia (which
is the typeface you're reading here and, in my opinion, an
aesthetically pleasing one at that) for most applications. Not a
lot of options.
Acceptable, unsexy, web-friendly fonts: (from top) Arial,
Courier, Georgia, Times, Verdana, Tahoma and Trebuchet.
Personal preferences aside, the limited number of "universal"
typefaces is not the only challenge. While CSS allows typographic
control such as line height (a.k.a. leading), character spacing
(a.k.a. tracking), transformation (i.e., uppercase, small caps,
etc.) other web-based typographic controls are very limited. No
real solution for kerning, just as an example.
The point is this: current typographic web control is
rudimentary compared to the control designers have over print-based
type. It's better than it was in 1996, yes, but for 12 years to
pass without major advances in technologies for web typography...
well, that's a long time.
With printing press technology around now for almost six hundred
years, maybe it shouldn't be a surprise that the web is taking so
long to catch up. But in the meantime, one of the largest benefits
of the web—that content can be meaningfully separated from
design—could also be its biggest challenge to designers. Especially
if semantics-based content is compared side-by-side to content
developed without regard for structural semantics in print, Flash
or a raster graphic.
Of course, I have no way of knowing why my site didn't make the
cut. Maybe the website really wasn't all that great. Perhaps it was
too simple. Was I just too close to the site to see it for what it
was? Or maybe it isn't me, and it had to do with the judges; maybe
they had different ideas about what makes a website well
In an exchange with author and educator Peter Hall, he suggested
that the key to looking at the web might be to abandon the print
analogy. I certainly think this idea helps to view HTML–based web
content for what it is, but it won't help pressure advances in
technology that would allow the web to have a more sophisticated
appearance while staying true to its roots in meaningful
While web technology plays catch-up with hundreds of years of
mechanically pressing ink to paper, (how) can web designers compete
when it comes to comparing structured HTML side by side with Flash,
raster graphics or print? Are there emerging technologies that will
level the playing field?
And speaking of a level playing field, I can't help but wonder
about the parallels between the "amateur" designer and myself. A
13-year-old working out of her bedroom has access to very similar
tools to the ones I use in my practice: an HTML editor, FTP
application and browsers for testing. Though I have formal
education and professional experience in web design, the tools I
use to build a website have very capable freeware or home
publishing equivalents, and the amateur designer can put his or her
work online just as easily as I can. The nonprofessional's
typographic "failures"—ugly type that doesn't follow the rules—may
be no different on the surface than mine, even for all my knowledge
and expertise. The only difference is that I know better.
But for all that knowledge, I also know that what the judges saw
in the browser window was not what they were looking for. I can
accept technology's limitations for what they are, and I will just
continue to build websites the way I believe I should. I only wish
I knew why my work wasn't good enough: was this technology's fault
or a personal shortcoming? I look forward to the day when I don't
need to ask that question.

Modularity plays an important role in software architecture. It fills a gap that has existed since we began developing enterprise software systems in Java. This chapter discusses that gap and explores how modularity is an important intermediary technology that fills that gap.
Defining Architecture
There are numerous definitions of architecture. But within each lies a common theme and some key phrases. Here are a few of the definitions. From Booch, Rumbaugh, and Jacobson (1999):
An architecture is the set of significant decisions about the organization of a software system, the selection of the structural elements and their interfaces by which the system is composed, together with their behavior as specified in the collaborations among those elements, the composition of these structural elements and behavioral elements into progressively larger subsystems, and the architecture style that guides this organization - these elements and their interfaces, their collaborations, and their composition.
Now, from the ANSI/IEEE Std 1471-2000 (the Open Group):
The fundamental organization of a system, embodied in its components, their relationships to each other and the environment, and the principles governing its design and evolution.
In the Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF), architecture has two meanings depending on context (the Open Group):
- A formal description of a system, or a detailed plan of the system at component level to guide its implementation
- The structure of components, their inter-relationships, and the principles and guidelines governing their design and evolution over time
Examining these definitions reveals many common keywords, which I've made bold in the various definitions. Important underlying currents are embodied by these keywords. But, these keywords lead to some important questions that must be answered to more fully understand architecture. What makes a decision architecturally significant? What are the elements of composition? How do we accommodate evolution of architecture? What does this have to do with modularity? As we delve into these questions, I want to start with a story on software architecture.
A Software Architecture Story
The story of software architecture reminds me of the following story (Hawking 1998):
A well-known scientist (some say it was Bertrand Russell) once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how the earth orbits around the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the center of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy. At the end of the lecture, a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said: "What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise." The scientist gave a superior smile before replying, "What is the tortoise standing on?" "You're very clever, young man, very clever," said the old lady. "But it's turtles all the way down!"
-A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking
Software architecture is "turtles all the way down." How? This section discusses these ideas.
The Ivory Tower
Many of us can relate to the ivory tower. In dysfunctional organizations, architects and developers fail to communicate effectively. The result is a lack of transparency and a lack of understanding by both sides. As shown in Figure 1, architects bestow their wisdom upon developers who are unable to translate high-level concepts into concrete implementations. The failure often occurs (although I recognize there are other causes) because architecture is about breadth and development is about depth. Each group has disparate views of software architecture, and although both are warranted, there's a gap between these views. The architect might focus on applications and services, while the developer focuses on the code. Sadly, there is a lot in between that no one focuses on. This gap between breadth and depth contributes to ivory tower architecture.
A Software Architecture Story
Adapted from http://www.rendell.org/jam/upload/2009/1/tower-12054835.jpg
Turtles and the Tower
Without question, the ivory tower is dysfunctional, and systems lacking architectural integrity are a symptom of ivory tower architecture. So, assuming good intent on the part of the architect and the developer, how can we bridge the gap between breadth and depth? How can we more effectively communicate? How do we increase understanding and transparency?
Let's revisit the definition of software architecture by exploring another definition. My favorite definition of software architecture was offered by Ralph Johnson in an article by Martin Fowler (2003). He states:
In most successful software projects, the expert developers working on that project have a shared understanding of the system design. This shared understanding is called "architecture." This understanding includes how the system is divided into components and how the components interact through interfaces. These components are usually composed of smaller components, but the architecture only includes the components and interfaces that are understood by all the developers . . . Architecture is about the important stuff. Whatever that is.
The key aspect of this definition that differentiates it from the earlier definitions in this chapter is that of "shared understanding," which implies that there is a social aspect to software architecture. We must have a shared understanding of how the system is divided into components and how they interact. Architecture isn't just some technical concept; it's also a social construct. Through this social aspect of architecture, we can break down the divide between architects and developers.
To ensure shared understanding, we have to architect "all the way down." Architects cannot worry only about services, and developers cannot worry only about code. Each group must also focus on a huge middle ground, as illustrated in Figure 2.
Focusing exclusively on top-level abstractions is not enough. Emphasizing only code quality is not enough either. We must bridge the gap through other means, including module and package design. Often, when I speak at various conferences, I ask the audience to raise their hands if they devote effort to service design. Many hands raise. I also ask them to raise their hand if they spend time on class design and code quality. Again, many hands go up. But when I ask if they also devote effort to package and module design, only a small percentage leave their hands raised.
This is unfortunate, because module and package design are equally as important as service and class design. But somewhere along the way, with our emphasis on services and code quality, we've lost sight of what lies in between. Within each application or service awaits a rotting design, and atop even the most flexible code sits a suite of applications or services riddled with duplication and lack of understanding. A resilient package structure and corresponding software modules help bridge the divide between services and code. Modularity is an important intermediate technology that helps us architect all the way down and is the conduit that fills the gap between breadth and depth.
The Goal of Architecture
Adapted from http://www.rendell.org/jam/upload/2009/1/tower-12054835.jpg
We need to focus on modularity to ensure a consistent architecture story is told. It is the glue that binds. It's the piece that helps bridge low-level class design with higher-level service design. It's the piece that helps bring down the ivory tower, enhance communication, increase transparency, ensure understanding, and verify consistency at multiple levels. It is the piece that allows us to "architect all the way down" and allows us to realize the goal of architecture.
Modularity helps address the social aspect of software architecture, but it also helps us design more flexible software systems - that is, systems with resilient, adaptable, and maintainable architectures. Examining the earlier definitions of architecture leads us to the goal of architecture. The Johnson definition of architecture as quoted by Fowler makes it apparent that architecture is about the important stuff. In the following statement, Booch makes it clear that something is architecturally significant if it's difficult to change (2006):
All architecture is design but not all design is architecture. Architecture represents the significant design decisions that shape a system, where significant is measured by cost of change.
Based on these statements, it's fair to conclude that the goal of software architecture must be to eliminate the impact and cost of change, thereby eliminating architectural significance. We attempt to make something architecturally insignificant by creating flexible solutions that can be changed easily, as illustrated in Figure 3. But herein lies a paradox.
The Paradox
The idea behind eliminating architecture isn't new. In fact, Fowler mentions "getting rid of software architecture" in his article "Who Needs an Architect?" (2003). The way to eliminate architecture by minimizing the impact of cost and change is through flexibility. The more flexible the system, the more likely that the system can adapt and evolve as necessary. But herein lies the paradox, and a statement by Ralph Johnson presents and supports the idea (Fowler 2003):
. . . making everything easy to change makes the entire system very complex . . .
As flexibility increases, so does the complexity. And complexity is the beast we are trying to tame because complex things are more difficult to deal with than simple things. It's a battle for which there is no clear path to victory, for sure. But, what if we were able to tame complexity while increasing flexibility, as illustrated in Figure 4? Let's explore the possibility of designing flexible software without increasing complexity. Is it even possible? In other words, how do we eliminate architecture?
Figure 4 Maximizing flexibility, managing complexity
Eliminating Architecture
As the Johnson quote clearly points out, it's not feasible to design an infinitely flexible system. Therefore, it's imperative that we recognize where flexibility is necessary to reduce the impact and cost of change. The challenge is that we don't always know early in the project what might eventually change, so it's impossible to create a flexible solution to something we can't know about. This is the problem with Big Architecture Up Front (BAUF), and it's why we must make architectural decisions temporally. In other words, we should try to defer commitment to specific architectural decisions that would lock us to a specific solution until we have the requisite knowledge that will allow us to make the most informed decision.
It's also why we must take great care in insulating and isolating decisions we're unsure of and ensuring that these initial decisions are easy to change as answers to the unknown emerge. For this, modularity is a missing ingredient that helps minimize the impact and cost of change, and it's a motivating force behind why we should design software systems with a modular architecture. In the UML User Guide (page 163), Booch talks about "modeling the seams in a system." He states (1999):
Identifying the seams in a system involves identifying clear lines of demarcation in your architecture. On either side of those lines, you'll find components that may change independently, without affecting the components on the other side, as long as the components on both sides conform to the contract specified by that interface.
Where Booch talks about components, we talk about modules. Where SOLID Booch talks about seams, we'll talk about joints. Modularity, combined principles, 319 with design patterns and SOLID principles, represents our best hope to joints, 56 minimize the impact and cost of change, thereby eliminating the architectural significance of change.
Modularity: The Missing Ingredient
Two of the key elements of the architectural definitions are component and composition. Yet there is no standard and agreed-upon definition of component1 (reminding me of architecture, actually), and most use the term loosely to mean "a chunk of code." But, that doesn't work, and in the context of OSGi, it's clear that a module is a software component. Developing a system with an adaptive, flexible, and maintainable architecture requires modularity because we must be able to design a flexible system that allows us to make temporal decisions based on shifts that occur throughout development. Modularity has been a missing piece that allows us to more easily accommodate these shifts, as well as focus on specific areas of the system that demand the most flexibility, as illustrated in Figure 5. It's easier to change a design encapsulated within a module than it is to make a change to the design than spans several modules.
Modularity: The Missing Ingredient
Is It Really Encapsulated?
In standard Java, there is no way to enforce encapsulation of design details to a module because Java provides no way to define packages or classes that are module scope. As a result, classes in one module will always have access to the implementation details of another module. This is where a module framework, such as OSGi, shines because it allows you to forcefully encapsulate implementation details within a module through its explicit import package and export package manifest headers. Even public classes within a package cannot be accessed by another module unless the package is explicitly exported. The difference is subtle, although profound. We see several examples of this in the patterns throughout this book, and I point it out as it occurs. For now, let's explore a simple example.
Standard Java: No Encapsulation
Figure 6 illustrates a Client class that depends upon Inter, an interface, with Impl providing the implementation. The Client class is packaged in the client.jar module, and Inter and Impl are packaged in the provider.jar module. This is a good example of a modular system but demonstrates how we cannot encapsulate implementation details in standard Java because there is no way to prevent access to Impl. Classes outside of the provider.jar module can still reach the Impl class to instantiate and use it directly.
In fact, the Impl class is defined as a package scope class, as shown in Listing 1. However, the AppContext.xml Spring XML configuration file, which is deployed in the client.jar module, is still able to create the Impl instance at runtime and inject it into Client. The App-Context.xml and Client class are shown in Listing 2 and Listing 3, respectively. The key element is that the AppContext.xml is deployed in the client.jar module and the Impl class it creates is deployed in the provider.jar module. As shown in Listing 2, the AppContext .xml file deployed in the client.jar file violates encapsulation by referencing an implementation detail of the provider.jar module. Because the Spring configuration is a global configuration, the result is a violation of encapsulation.
Listing 1: Impl Class
package com.p2.impl;
import com.p2.*;
class Impl implements Inter {
public void doIt() { . . . /* any implementation */ }
Listing 2: AppContext.xml Spring Configuration
<bean id="inter" class="com.p2.impl.Impl"/>
Listing 3: Client Class
package com.p1;
import com.p2.*;
import org.springframework.context.*;
import org.springframework.context.support.*;
public class Client {
public static void main(String args[]) {
ApplicationContext appContext = new
Inter i = (Inter) appContext.getBean("inter");
OSGi and Encapsulation
Now let's look at the same example using OSGi. Here, the Impl class in the provider.jar module is tightly encapsulated, and no class in any other module is able to see the Impl class. The Impl class and Inter interface remain the same as in the previous examples; no changes are required. Instead, we've taken the existing application and simply set it up to work with the OSGi framework, which enforces encapsulation of module implementation details and provides an intermodule communication mechanism. Figure 7 demonstrates the new structure. It's actually an example of the Abstract Modules Pattern. Here I separate the Spring XML configuration into four different files. I could have easily used only two configuration files, but I want to keep the standard Java and OSGi framework configurations separate for each module. The provider.jar module is responsible for the configuration itself and exposing its capabilities when it's installed. Before we describe the approach, here is a brief description of each configuration file:
Figure 7 Encapsulating design with OSGi
- client.xml: Standard Spring configuration file that describes how the application should be launched by the OSGi framework
- client-osgi.xml: Spring configuration file that allows the Client class to consume an OSGi µService
- provider.xml: Spring configuration with the provider.jar module bean definition
- provider-osgi.xml: Spring configuration that exposes the bean definition in provider.xml as an OSGi µService
Before we look at how the two modules are wired together, let's look at the provider.jar module, which contains the Inter interface, Impl implementation, and two configuration files. Again, Inter and Impl remain the same as in the previous example, so let's look at the configuration files. The provider.xml file defines the standard Spring bean configuration and is what was previously shown in the AppContext.xml file in Figure 7. Listing 34 shows the provider.xml file. The key is that this configuration is deployed with the provider.jar module. Attempting to instantiate the Impl class outside of the provider.jar module will not work. Because OSGi enforces encapsulation, any attempt to reach the implementation details of a module will result in a runtime error, such as a ClassNotFoundException.
Listing 4 provider.xml Configuration File
<bean id="inter" class="com.p2.impl.Impl"/>
How does OSGi prevent other classes from instantiating the Impl class directly? The Manifest.mf file included in the provider.jar module exposes classes only in the com.p2 package, not the com.p2.impl package. So, the Inter interface registered as an OSGi µService is accessible by other modules but not by the Impl class. Listing 3.5 shows the section of the Manifest.mf illustrating the package export.
Listing 5 provider.xml Configuration File
Export-Package: com.p2
The provider-osgi.xml file is where things get very interesting, and it is where we expose the behavior of the provider.jar module as an OSGi µService that serves as the contract between the Client and Impl classes. The configuration for the provider.jar module lives within the provider.jar module, so no violation of encapsulation occurs.
Listing 6 shows the configuration. The name of the µService we are registering with the OSGi framework is called interService, and it references the Impl bean defined in Listing 3.4, exposing its behavior as type Inter. At this point, the provider.jar module has a interService OSGi µService that can be consumed by another module. This service is made available by the provider.jar module after it is installed and activated in the OSGi framework.
Listing 6 provider.xml Configuration File
<osgi:service id="interService" ref="inter"
Now, let's look at the client.jar module. The client.xml file configures the Client class. It effectively replaces the main method on the Client class in Listing 3.3 with the run method, and the OSGi framework instantiates the Client class, configures it with an Inter type, and invokes the run method. Listing 7 shows the client.xml file, and Listing 3.8 shows the Client class. This is the mechanism that initiates the process and replaces the main method in the Client class of the previous example.
Listing 7 Client.xml Configuration File
<bean name="client" class="com.p1.impl.Client"
<property name="inter"
Listing 8 The Client Class
package com.p1.impl;
import com.p2.*;
import com.p1.*;
public class Client {
private Inter i;
public void setInter(Inter i) {
this.i = i;
public void run() throws Exception {
The Inter type that is injected into the client class is done through the client-osgi.xml configuration file. Here, we specify that we want to use a µService of type Inter, as shown in Listing 9.
Listing 9 Client.xml Configuration File
<osgi:reference id="interService"
The Manifest.mf file for the client.jar module imports the com.p2 packages, which gives it access to the Inter µService. Listing 10 shows the section of Manifest.mf showing the package imports and exports for the client.jar module.
Listing 10 Client.xml Configuration File
Import-Package: com.p2
Independent This simple example has several interesting design aspects.2 The provider.jar module is independently deployable. It has no dependencies on any other module, and it exposes its set of behaviors as a µService. No other module in the system needs to know these details.
Answering Our Questions
The design could have also been made even more flexible by packaging the Impl class and Inter interface in separate modules. By separating the interface from the implementation, we bring a great deal of flexibility to the system, especially with OSGi managing our modules.
At first glance, it might also appear to contradict the External Configuration pattern. When defining the external configuration for a module, we still want to ensure implementation details are encapsulated. External configuration is more about allowing clients to configure a module to its environmental context and not about exposing implementation details of the module.
The key takeaway from this simple demonstration is that the classes in the provider.jar module are tightly encapsulated because the OSGi framework enforces type visibility. We expose only the public classes in the packages that a module exports, and the µService is the mechanism that allows modules to communicate in a very flexible manner. The µService spans the joints of the system, and because OSGi is dynamic, so too are the dependencies on µServices. Implementations of the µService can come and go at runtime, and the system can bind to new instances as they appear.
Again, we'll see several more examples of this throughout the remainder of the discussion. Even though you can't enforce encapsulation of module implementation using standard Java, it's still imperative to begin designing more modular software systems. As we'll see, by applying several of the techniques we discuss in this book, we put ourselves in an excellent position to take advantage of a runtime module system.
Earlier, this chapter posed the following questions after introducing the three definitions of software architecture. Through explanation, we answered each question. But to be clear, let's offer concise answers:
- What makes a decision architecturally significant? A decision is architecturally significant if the impact and cost of change is significant.
- What are the elements of composition? The elements of composition include classes, modules, and services.
- How do we accommodate evolution of architecture? Evolution is realized by designing flexible solutions that can adapt to change. But flexibility breeds complexity, and we must be careful to build flexibility in the right areas of the system.
The goal of architecture is to minimize the impact and cost of change. Modularity helps us realize this goal by filling in a gap that exists between top-level architectural constructs and lower-level code. Modularity is the important intermediate that helps increase architectural agility. It fills a gap that exists between architects and developers. It allows us to create a software architecture that can accommodate shifts. Modularity helps us architect all the way down.
- In his book Component Software: Beyond Object-Oriented Programming, Clemens Szyperski makes one of the few attempts I've seen to formally define the term component. He did a fine job, too.
- Although this example builds upon the OSGi Blueprint Specification, some of you may not be huge fans of XML. If that's the case, Peter Kriens has an implementation that uses OSGi Declarative Services. The sample can be found at http://bit.ly/OSGiExamples in the aQute. poma.basic directory.

The problem of load balancing in distributed systems composed of several homogeneous sites connected by a subnet is examined. The author determines a general formula for the probability that any one site in the system is underloaded while some other site in the system is overloaded. This probability can be used to define the likelihood of load balancing success in a distributed operating system. This probability gives insight into the utilization of the system and is an aid in determining a measure of effectiveness of the system. From this formula one can determine this probability when the workload is composed of processes typical to distributed systems. The influence of variants in the load balancing algorithm on this probability is demonstrated
