This artist rendering released by Dynamic Architecture shows a rotating skyscraper that is to be built in Dubai, in various stages of movement. An Italian architect said he is poised to start construction on the new skyscraper that will be 'the world's first building in motion,' an 80-story tower with revolving floors that give it an ever-shifting shape.

Architecture is perceived as a heavy-weight activity which does not fit into an Agile process, so many teams start without it, just to find themselves re-doing the software later because the code structure was not good enough to support maintainability and evolution.

IntroductionInitially designed for the PlayStation 3, Sony, Toshiba and IBM's new Cell processor promises seemingly obscene computing capabilities for what will rapidly become a very low price. 6 months ago I wrote an article describing this new processor based on the original Cell processor patent application from 2002. Since that original document was written the Cell design evolved considerably in both hardware and software. The Cell was revealed at ISSCC in February 2005 and since then a great deal of information has been revealed about the final architecture in various articles, papers and interviews.This new version has been almost completely rewritten to cover the Cell as it is today. New sections have also been added to cover Cell software development and the reasons behind the

The recent upheavals in the world financial markets were quelled by the immediate intervention of both international financial institutions such as the IMF and of domestic ones in the developed countries, such as the Federal Reserve in the USA. The danger seems to have passed, though recent tremors in South Korea, Brazil and Taiwan do not augur well. We may face yet another crisis of the same or a larger magnitude momentarily.What are the lessons that we can derive from the last crisis to avoid the next?The first lesson, it would seem, is that short term and long term capital flows are two disparate phenomena with very little in common. The former is speculative and technical in nature and has very little to do with fundamental realities. The latter is investment oriented and committed to

When Microsoft created Exchange Server 2007, they introduced a number of architectural changes. Among these changes are the fact that Exchange Server 2007 no longer has an independent routing topology. Instead of using routing groups, Exchange Server 2007 uses the routing topology defined by that Active Directory. In situations in which Exchange Server 2007 has to coexist with Exchange Server 2003 or with Exchange 2000, Exchange 2007 will emulate a routing group and use a routing group connector to interact with the legacy Exchange servers. In pure Exchange 2007 environments though, routing groups are not used at all, so it makes sense to take a look at your Active Directory topology to make sure that messages can be routed efficiently. In smaller, self-contained organizations, the routin
