Software Architecture

Authors: Oquendo, Flávio, Leite, Jair, Batista, Thais
Covers the fundamentals of software architecture modeling, consolidating both practical and theoretical approaches
Presents SysADL, a software architecture modeling language with the potential of describing models compliant with the SysML standard to be used by software engineers of today and tomorrow
Provides students with a clear and structured resource into required modeling techniques for software architecture

Leverage software architecture as an effective tool for product development and build better software faster.Effective Software Architecture is the essential handbook for making software architecture an effective practice within product development organizations and processes while putting whole software teams on the same page. Industry elite Oliver Goldman provides a comprehensive perspective on the set of real-world skills and practices this work requires: a predictable, repeatable design process; the ability to make decisions expediently and effectively; a comprehensive and consistent communication strategy; tools that promote efficiency; and a team that is greater than the sum of its parts.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First European Workshop on Software Architecture, EWSA 2004, held in St Andrews, Scotland, UK in May 2004 in conjunction with ICSE 2004. All current aspects of software architectures are addressed ranging from foundational and methodological issues to application issues of practical relevance.
