Welcome to ArchiLab

Welcome to Software Architecture Lab (ArchiLab) of Prof. Dr. Stefan Bente and his team. We focus on how large software systems can be designed and implemented. Good software architecture requires a clear understanding of the functional and non-functional requirements. We at ArchiLab have long experience with Domain Driven Design, and think that this is the way to go when it comes to domain exploration and modelling - at least in larger projects.

There is no good architecture without good code. Therefore we believe that you need to become a good coder, before you ever have a chance to become a good architect. There is no knowing without doing.

Workshop "Event-Driven Architecture (EDA)"

As one core deliverable of a Master Guided Project, three Master students have prepared a “hands-on” workshop on Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) - which was quickly overbooked. Read more ...
