You've arrived at Eoin Woods' web page. I maintain this page to act as somewhere to publish various pieces of information relating to my work that might be of interest to other people. Select the links on the left to access the different parts of the site.

I'm a software architect and I've worked in a variety of jobs in the software development field since the early 1990s. These pages contain various pieces of writing and links to other pieces of information that I've created or found useful over the years.

Let me know if you find the content of these pages useful.

Software Architect 2009

I'm looking forward to speaking at Software Architect 2009 in London. This year the event is at the Royal College of Physicians in Regents Park, at the end of September. I'll be giving another session on the Top 10 Software Architecture mistakes, so I'm looking forward to seeing what a UK audience makes of it. Hope to see you there.

WICSA 2009

I've had the privilege to be asked to give a keynote talk at WICSA 2009 in Cambridge in September. This is the only software architecture conference where researchers and practitioners meet and discuss the field together (usually shocking both groups in the process) so I'm looking forward to being able to talk to such a mixed audience.

JAOO 2009

After thoroughly enjoying the experience of speaking at JAOO last year, I'm very pleased to have been invited back to talk again on software architecture, this year talking about how you document software architecture using the Viewpoints and Perspectives approach. I have a bad feeling that I'll be able to put less jokes in than last year. Somehow mistakes are much funnier than success! Still I hope you'll come along if you're at the conference.

Oh no, I have a Blog

I never thought I'd see the day, but I've finally decided to create a blog so I have somewhere I can easily publish short pieces of information without the overhead of updating the site. I plan to post bits and pieces of technical information that I come across that I think might be of use to others. Posting will probably be intermittent at best! The blog is hosted outside this site at Wordpress.

Software Architecture Description Template

Nick Rozanski and I have finally got our act together and finished the architectural description template that we've been promising various people for quite a while. We've published it on our Viewpoints and Perspectives website.

Book

I am co-author, with Nick Rozanski, of a book on software architecture, entitled Software Systems Architecture: Working With Stakeholders Using Viewpoints and Perspectives (published by Addison-Wesley). Our book is a practitioner-oriented guide to designing and implementing effective architectures for information systems. It is both a readily accessible introduction to software architecture and a useful handbook of well-established best practices. It has recently been added to the SEI's Software Architecture Essential Bookshelf.

You can find out more about the book on this page.
