MSDN VSTS2010 doc’s - Modeling User Requirements
Have been reading all the MSDN documentation about VSTS2010 last few days and I’m amazed by the quality of this. So if you don’t have the bits installed, just take a look at MSDN to get a deep dive in the new functionalities of VSTS2010.
This is a screenshot from the Team Architect doc’s about “Modeling User Requirements“…
and when you do have the bits installed, hit F1 sometimes… [I often forget that functionality]
Swarm Theory and Architecture Explorer
just for fun…
This is an architecture diagram from the TeamArchitect.Modelstore.Interfaces… impressive vsts2010 can render such a diagram. But, also useless for analyzing, although….
It looks like a swarm and there are some theories how these swarms behave… for example this article “The Genius of Swarms” or wiki’s explanation of the swarm theory…
Swarm intelligence (SI) is a type of artificial intelligence based on the collective behavior of decentralized, self-organized systems.
So, the TeamArchitect.Modelstore.Interfaces has some kind of intelligence, a collective behavior.
The Swarm Theory is also connected with Chaos Theory and that one with The Lorenz attractor, which give us some formulas for the behavior of this assembly… :-)
anyway… I think it’s easier to put some more filters on the architecture diagram.
