A system is complex that it comprises multiple views such as strategy/version n, strategy/version n+1, concept, analysis, design, implementation, structure, behavior, and input/output data views. Accordingly, a system is defined as a set of interacting components forming an integrated whole of that system's multiple views. Since structure and behavior views are the two most prominent ones among multiple views, integrating the structure and behavior views is a method for integrating multiple views of a system. In other words, structure-behavior coalescence (SBC) results in the coalescence of multiple views. Therefore, it is concluded that the SBC architecture is so proper to model the multiple views of a system. In this book, we use the SBC architectu...

Program design (or software program design) is, in the software systems development, the design and implementation phase. That is, program design means to get a solution to furnish customers requirements on the software system. When working on the program design, we mainly consider how to manufacture the software system, but not to specify what this software system is. A software system has been designed hopefully to be an integrated whole, embodied in its assembled components, their interactions with each other and the environment. Since software structure and software behavior are the two most prominent views of a software system integrating the software structure and software behavior apparently is the best way to achieve a truly integrated ...
