TL;DR: In this paper, Dana Cuff delves into the architect's everyday work world to uncover an intricate social art of design, which sheds light on what it means to become an architect, how design problems are construed and resolved, how clients and architects negotiate, and how design excellence is achieved.
Abstract: Although architecture is the fastest-growing profession in America, its private context remains shrouded in myth. In this book, Dana Cuff delves into the architect's everyday work world to uncover an intricate social art of design. The result is a new portrait of the profession that sheds light on what it means to become an architect, how design problems are construed and resolved, how clients and architects negotiate, and how design excellence is achieved.

TL;DR: The Eden project is attempting to combine the benefits of integration and distribution by supporting an object based style of programming on top of a node machine/local network hardware base to provide an environment conducive to building distributed applications.
Abstract: The Eden project is a five year experiment in designing, building, and using an "integrated distributed" computing system. We are attempting to combine the benefits of integration and distribution by supporting an object based style of programming on top of a node machine/local network hardware base. Our experimental hypothesis is that such an architecture will provide an environment conducive to building distributed applications.
