Most modern computer applications consists of functional pieces that perform the following functions: Input Processing-Interactive and/or Batch, Database Storage and Access, Data Analysis and Output Generation. Developing an application to meet a static set of requirements is hard enough, but in real world applications, Extensibility, Scaleability, Customizability, Maintainability, and ability to adopt and leverage new technologies are key issues. When addressed up-front using proper Design and Architectural guidelines and methodology, you can reduce the effort on subsequent releases of products by an order of magnitude. This discussion covers methods to incorporate interfaces of evolving standards in your applications as well as techniques for encapsulation of various functional interfaces to provide highly customizable and functional applications that can be quickly deployed.
