Contracts
Interfaces, Pre/Post Conditions, Protocol State Machines, Message Exchange Patterns, Published APIs

Handle
Crosscuts
Aspect Orientation, Interceptors, Application Servers, Exception Handling


Scaling things up

Bootstrapping
(create minimal system frist, then use it to create the rest)
Languages, Compilers (e. g. gcc), IDEs

Standard Library
(small kernel, like Linux kernel, plus standard libraries)
Lisp (Grow a language), Autosar Sys Components, Microkernel OSs

Orthogonality
Closures, Program As Data, Macros, Higher-Order Functions


Conceptualization

Formalize

UML, Lisp, Java, Ruby,

Go Meta
Translators, Reflection, Meta Programming, AOP

Translate
Compilers, Transformers, Generators, Macros (Lisp, Converge, Boo)

Interpret
Business Process Engines, Data Driven Systems, (Dynamic) Languages

Automate
Build, Test, Translate


Dos and Dont's

Protocols
Transactions, Locking/Synchronization, Resource Access

Limit Freedom
Software Architecture, DSL: expressiveness, MDSD: skeletons, Scade/SystemC

Declaration over Implementation
App Servers (EJB), Plugin RT (Eclipse), Models, Transactional Mamory

Don't Overspecify
