SummaryTable of ContentsAuthor Biography
This book introduces the concepts and practice of software architecture-what a system is designed to do, and on how its components are meant to interact with each other. An architecture is an abstract view, distinct from the details of implementation, algorithm, and data representation. Its creation is the first step in designing a system with properties desired by customers, end users, developers, maintainers, and other interested parties. The authors cover here not only essential technical topics for specifying and validating a system, but, f... MORE
