About the Authors

Frank Buschmann

Frank Buschmann is Senior Principal Engineer at Siemens Corporate Technology in Munich, Germany. His research interests include object technology, software architecture, product-lines, model-driven software development, and patterns. He has published widely in all these areas, most visibly in his co-authorship of three POSA volumes [POSA1] [POSA2] [POSA4]. Frank was a member of the ANSI C++ standardization committee X3J16 from 1992 to 1996, initiated the first EuroPLoP conference in 1996, co-edited several books on patterns [PLoPD3] [SFHBS06], and serves as an editor of the Wiley Series in Software Design Patterns. In his development work at Siemens, Frank has led architecture and implementation efforts for several large-scale industrial software projects, including business information, industrial automation, and telecommunication systems.

When not at work Frank spends most of his time enjoying life with his wife Martina and daughter Anna, having fun riding his horse Eddi, watching the time go by in Munich beer gardens, getting excited when watching his favorite soccer team, Borussia Dortmund, dreaming when listening to a performance at the Munich opera, and relaxing with rare Scotch single malts before bedtime.
