Living Systems Architecture

We live in an age where biology has become a powerful metaphor for complex systems. At the same time, the rise of complexity in software is growing at an insane pace. What if we leveraged the core principles of Living Systems to tackle these challenges with complexity? What would a Living Systems Architecture look like?

In this discussion session, we'll start with a System of Metaphors, a ubiquitous language, for discussing the core principles of Living Systems Architecture.

Next, we'll dig into solving a concrete problem together by applying these ideas – building a “health-monitoring” system for a data supply chain.
