ADPS Practice Sources

Workshops

ADPS workshops preserve first-hand production questions, practices, and disagreements, then record how they inform module overviews and pattern revisions.

Page responsibilities

01

Workshop record

Lists participants and preserves field experience and unresolved disagreement by theme.

02

Module overview

Synthesizes formal patterns, workshop findings, and public engineering practice at subsystem level.

03

Pattern specification

Defines a recurring problem, mechanism, boundary, and method of verification.

A term introduced in a workshop does not automatically become a pattern. ADPS checks whether it identifies an independent problem, has a describable mechanism, and is supported by enough practice. Questions that cross several modules move to Topics.
