Software architecture is fundamental to the success of your system. This chapter demystifies software architecture. You’ll gain an understanding of architectural dimensions and the differences between architecture and design. Why is this important? Because understanding and applying architectural practices helps
In this chapter, we shall present an overview of computer architecture from an academic standpoint, and explain the major principles behind today’s computers. We shall observe that there are two perspectives in computer architecture. We can look at computer architecture from the point of view of software applications.

The profes-sional audience includes analysts, software architects, software designers, program-mers, project leaders, ...
This chapter presents an introduction to software modeling and design, a discussion of software design issues, an introduction to software architecture, and an overview of object-oriented analysis and design with UML.
This chapter presents an introduction to the UML notation, including use case dia-grams, class diagrams, interaction diagrams, statechart diagrams, packages, concur-rent communication diagrams, and deployment diagrams. The chapter also covers UML extension mechanisms and the evolution of UML into a standard.
This chapter introduces the software life cycles used for developing software, includ-ing the waterfall, prototyping, iterative, spiral, and unified process. It compares and contrasts them.
This chapter discusses and presents an overview of key software design concepts, including object-oriented design concepts of classes, objects, information hiding and inheritance, and concurrent processing with concurrent objects. An introduction is given to software architecture and components, software design patterns, and soft-ware quality attri...
This chapter provides an overview of the software modeling and design method, including requirements modeling, analysis modeling, and design modeling. An overview of the different kinds of software architectures addressed in this textbook is given. PART II: SOFTWARE MODELING
This chapter starts with an overview of requirements analysis and specification. It then goes on to describe the use case modeling approach to developing require-ments. This is followed by an approach for developing use cases. The chapter covers use cases, actors, identifying use cases, documenting use cases, and use case rela-tionships. An introdu...
This chapter describes static modeling concepts, including associations, whole/part relationships (composition and aggregation), and generalization/specialization rela-tionships. Special topics include modeling the boundary of the system and modeling entity classes, which are information-intensive classes.
This chapter describes the categorization of application classes, or the role the class plays in the application. The major categories covered are boundary objects, entity objects, control objects, and application logic objects. This chapter also describes the corresponding behavior pattern for each category of object.
This chapter describes dynamic interaction modeling concepts. Interaction (se-quence or communication) diagrams are developed for each use case, including the main scenario and alternative scenarios. It also describes how to develop an inter-action model starting from the use case.
This chapter describes finite state machine modeling concepts. In particular, a state-dependent control class needs to be modeled with a finite state machine and depicted as a statechart. This chapter covers events, states, conditions, actions, entry and exit actions, composite states, and sequential and orthogonal states. Annotated Table of Conten...
This chapter describes dynamic interaction modeling for state-dependent object interactions. It describes how state machines and interaction diagrams relate to each other and how to make them consistent with each other. PART III: ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
This chapter introduces software architecture concepts. Multiple views of a software architecture and an overview of software architectural patterns (architectural struc-ture and communication patterns) are presented. A template for software architec-tural patterns is provided, and interface design is introduced and discussed.
This chapter presents issues in software architectural design, including the transition from analysis to architectural design, separation of concerns in subsystem design, subsystem structuring criteria, and the design of subsystem message communication interfaces.
This chapter describes object-oriented design of sequential software architectures, particularly design using the concepts of information hiding, classes, and inher-itance. In class interface design, the designer of the class needs to decide what information should be hidden and what information should be revealed in the class interface, which cons...
The design of clients and servers is described in this chapter. It also includes a discus-sion of client/service patterns (structural and behavioral), sequential and concurrent services, and mapping a static model to a relational database, which includes the design of database wrappers and logical relational database design.
This chapter describes the characteristics of service-oriented architectures. It dis-cusses Web services and service patterns, including registration, brokering, and discovery patterns. It then describes transaction patterns and transaction design, including atomic transactions, two-phase commit protocol, compound transactions, xxii Annotated Table...
This chapter describes distributed component-based software architectural design. The design of component interfaces (provided and required) is described. The chap-ter also discusses how component-based software architectures can be depicted with the structured class and composite structure diagram notation introduced in UML 2, which allows compone...
This chapter considers the characteristics of embedded real-time systems. It dis-cusses concurrency and control; control patterns for real-time systems; concurrent task structuring, including event-driven tasks, periodic tasks, and demand-driven tasks; and design of task interfaces, including message communication, event syn-chronization, and commu...

Abstract. This report argues that the overall structure of software systems ("software architecture") is usefully studied by constructing design spaces. A de-sign space identifies the key functional and structural choices made in creating a system design, and it classifies the alternatives available for each choice.
