A Holistic Approach to Evolving Software Systems

The document discusses a holistic approach to evolving software systems over time. It addresses how systems will scale to much larger sizes in 10-15 years, how they will be structured and evolved, and how to ensure their dependability, security, safety and reliability as they grow increasingly complex. The author advocates considering all aspects of a system's development and usage when planning how it will adapt to future changes and challenges.

holism |ˈhəәʊlɪz(əә)m, ˈhɒl-| ! The theory that parts of a whole are in intimate interconnection, such that they cannot exist independently of the whole, which is thus regarded as greater than the sum of its parts.
1 2 3 4 What will be the scale of systems be 10-15 years from now? What will those systems look like? How will they be structured and evolved? How do we ensure their dependability, security, safety, reliability?

The Librarian daemon looks like a pleasant, fiftyish, silver-haired, bearded man with bright blue eyes, wearing a V-neck sweater over a work shirt, with a coarsely woven, tweedy-looking wool tie. The tie is loosened, the sleeves pushed up. ! Even though he's just a piece of software, he has reason to be cheerful; he can move through the nearly infinite stacks of information in the Library with the agility of a spider dancing across a vast web of cross-references. The [..] only thing he can't do is think. ! “Yes, sir," the Librarian says. He is eager without being obnoxiously chipper, he clasps his hands behind his back, rocks forward slightly on the balls of his feet, raises his eyebrows expectantly over his half-glasses.
