Concepts (3)
concept
- Backplaneassociated_withCore meta-construct and stable component that manages application lifecycle, initialization, and provides standard interfaces for system development.
- Lifecycle Managementassociated_withExplicit construct making system and application state transitions formal, enabling runtime architecture to be dynamic and responsive to change.
- feature as applicationassociated_withMetaphor treating each system feature or function as a separate application that can be independently loaded and managed.
Claims (2)
claim
- Prescriptive claim for the STANDARD APPLICATIONS pattern.
- Claim about the onboarding benefit of the Standard Application construct.
Artifacts (2)
artifact
- A pattern language paper by Nicholas Jacobs, presented at PLoP-98, describing architectural patterns for building systems that support piecemeal growth using a backplane, standard applications, interface repository, and bootstrap applications.
