Keynote
Manfred Hauswirth: Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt: Trends in distributed systems architecture

Abstract

The history of distributed system architecture exhibits many extremes – from decentralization to centralization and back again. Each phase of evolution had improvements and replaced the previous generation of architectures in a wide range of applications. When the limitations of the new dominating paradigm were understood, the pendulum went back to the other side. This was the “normal evolution cycle” in computer science for quite some time. Recently, we are witnessing a gradual convergence towards “best of breed” hybrid approaches combining both sides. Also in almost all sectors, platforms are now dominating the landscape. Platforms promote separation of concern and enable virtualization, i.e., independence from technological advances in the virtualized system to protect investments and not having to dramatically change applications when novel approaches become available. For example, currently the network layer is being transformed into a virtualized resource facilitating a distributed programming platform through software defined networks (SDN), network function virtualization (NFV) and edge/fog computing. This is similar to the prior advances in virtualizing computing resources (CPU, memory, and disk space) through the cloud. Ultimately, the virtualization of the network may lead to a “unification” of the two traditionally separated paradigms of information processing and communication. In this keynote, I will review insights and lessons-learned from some of the major architectural developments of the last decades and which possible future architectures these evolutionary strands may lead to.
