Philip Boxer

A couple of years ago, Philip Boxer and I wrote two articles for the Microsoft Architecture Journal on Metropolis and SOA Governance [Part One, Part Two]. We also set up a blog on Asymmetric Design (now renamed Asymmetric Leadership). The articles and the blog were largely based on some concepts and techniques Philip had developed out of his practice as a management consultant. Last year, Philip joined the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) at Carnegie Mellon University as a Senior Member of Technical Staff, to develop these concepts and techniques further. He now has several papers out.

• The Double Challenge in Engineering Complex Systems of Systems (with Ed Morris, Dennis Smith & Bill Anderson, May 2007)
• Complex Systems of Systems: The Dual Challenge (with Lisa Brownsword & Ed Morris, NDIA Conference, October 2007)
• Achieving Agility in Cyberspace (with Ed Morris & Bill Anderson, NDIA Conference, October 2007)
• Agility and Innovation in C4ISTAR (with Nicholas Whittall, RUSI Journal Feb 2008)
