Light Weight Architecture: the way of the future?

abstract The question : "What is an architecture" is addressed. Trends in the customer world and in the technology are used to obtain an outline of the product requirements. The customer world itself is a value chain consisting of quite heterogeneous stakeholders.

To satisfy the needs of these customers an integral approach is required. Architectures play a key role in such an integral approach.

Architecture lessons from practice are given to illustrate criteria for a good architecture are discussed. The concept of architecture-weight is introduced.
