Architectural Design

Software Architecture: What is it?


 Structure or structures of the system, which comprise
software components, the externally visible properties of
those components, and the relationships among them
Importance?
 Representations of software architecture are enablers for
communication
 The architecture highlights early design decisions
 Architecture “constitutes a relatively small, intellectually
graspable model of how the system is structured and how its
components work together”

Most important?
Architectural Styles
 Styles describe a category defined by:
 A set of components that perform a function
 Set of connectors that enable communication
 Constraints on integration of components
 Semantic models that help the understanding of overall properties of a
system
 Types of Architectures
 Data-centered
 Data flow
 Call and Return ( Main Program/Subprogram and Remote Procedure
Call)
 Object Oriented
 Layered
Data-Centered

Example?
Data Flow

Examples?
