How to Create a Manageable Platform Architecture?

abstract Today's fast pace of the market and the technology development forces the product creators to rethink their development approach. One of the directions is to maximize the return on investments of frequently used functions, for instance by re-use, component based design or by a platform approach. The architecting effort is a key success factor to combine re-use approaches with fast and innovative product creation.

In this presentation we will present a case, discuss the role of the architecture, and elaborate the essential architecture ingredients for a successful platform creation, and evolution, and innovative product creation.
