Markus Völter works as an independent consultant on
software technology and engineering based in Heidenheim, Germany.
His primary focus is software architecture and patterns, middleware
and model-driven software development. Markus has consulted and
coached in many different domains, such as banking, health care,
e-business, telematics, astronomy, and automotive embedded systems,
in projects ranging from 5 to150 developers.
Markus is also a regular speaker at international conferences on
software technology and object orientation. Among others, he has
given talks and tutorials at ECOOP, OOPSLA, OOP, OT, JAOO and GPCE.
Markus has published patterns at various PLo P conferences and
writes articles for various magazines on topics that he finds
interesting. He is also Co-author of the book Server Component
Patterns, which is – just like the book you are currently reading –
part of the Wiley series in Software Design Patterns.
When not dealing with software, Markus enjoys cross-country
flying in the skies over southern Germany in his glider.
