The Timeless Way of Diagnostics

Paraphrasing two classical books of architecture written by Christopher Alexander, et al. “The Timeless Way of Building” and “A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction” we would like to introduce the complete restructuring of multivolume Memory Dump Analysis Anthology³⁷ into the projected ten-volume “A Pattern Language for Software Diagnostics, Forensics, and Prognostics: Memory, Traces, Deconstruction”. We plan the first volume for the beginning of 2015 (ISBN: 978-1908043818) and then releasing additional volume bi-monthly. The reference has better browsing and cross-referencing format, additional examples, and case studies. It incorporates comments and new pattern knowledge acquired since we described the first patterns 8 years ago. The new edition covers only patterns and does not include additional content found in Memory Dump Analysis Anthology such as philosophy and art. Here's the preliminary front cover based on Software Diagnostics Institute logo:

Memory Dump Analysis Anthology continues to be released with Volume 8b planned for 2015. It includes up to date research from Software Diagnostics Institute and additional topics not included in “A Pattern Language for Software Diagnostics, Forensics, and Prognostics”.
