Book Description:
Architecture is crucial to the success of any large software system -- but even a superb architecture will fail if it isn't communicated well. Now, there's a language- and notation-independent guide to capturing architecture so it can be used successfully by every analyst, software designer, and developer. The authors review the diverse goals and uses of software architecture documentation, providing documentation strategies for several common scenarios. They identify the basic unit of software architecture documentation: the viewtype, which specifies the type of information to be provided in an architectural view. For each viewtype -- Modules, Component-and-Connectors, and Allocation -- they offer detailed guidance on documenting what really matters. Next, they demonstrate how to package architecture documentation in coherent, usable form: augmenting architectural views with documentation of interfaces and behavior; accounting for architectural variability and dynamic systems; and more.
Aligning Agile Processes and Software Architectures
Agile software development approaches have had significant impact on industrial software development practices. Today, agile software development has penetrated to most IT companies across the globe, with an intention to increase quality, productivity, and profitability. Comprehensive knowledge is needed to understand the architectural challenges involved in adopting and using agile approaches and industrial practices to deal with the development of large, architecturally challenging systems in an agile way. Agile Software Architecture focuses on gaps in the requirements of applying architecture-centric approaches and principles of agile software development and demystifies the agile architecture paradox. Readers will learn how agile and architectur...
Modeling Enterprise Architectures
While UML is very effective at modeling software systems, it is deficient in its ability to help practitioners understand how software systems interact -- this is where the software fortress model picks up. The vendor-independent software fortress model treats enterprise systems as a series of self-contained software fortresses. Each fortress makes its own choices as to software platform and data storage mechanisms, and interacts with other fortresses through carefully crafted treaties. This unique approach simplifies the enterprise. It helps the software professional truly understand how systems interact. This book defines, clarifies, and explains the basics of software fortresses. The author believes this new approach will grow in popularity and ev...
Theory, Hardware, Software, Applications
Parallel computer architectures are now being used in applications ranging from image analysis to quantum mechanics. However, their use poses serious problems and requires the development of new techniques and tools. This book is a collection of the papers presented at a workshop on major research activity, held at the University of Erlangen-Nurnberg and the Technical University of Munich. The book is divided into five main parts: hardware aspects of multiprocessor systems; the performance of parallel systems; - architectures and tools for parallelization; - modelling techniques; and applications of parallel systems....
