Software Architecture in Practice 2ND Editionby Len Bass
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This award-winning book, substantially updated to reflect the latest developments in the field, introduces the concepts and best practices of software architecture--how a software system is structured and how that system's elements are meant to interact. Distinct from the details of implementation, algorithm, and data representation, an architecture holds the key to achieving system quality, is a reusable asset that can be applied to subsequent systems, and is crucial to a software organization's business strategy.
Drawing on their own extensive experience, the authors cover the essential technical topics for designing, specifying, and validating a system. They also emphasize the importance of the business context in which large systems are designed. Their aim is to present software architecture in a real-world setting, reflecting both the opportunities and constraints that companies encounter. To that end, case studies that describe successful architectures illustrate key points of both technical and organizational discussions. Topics new to this edition include:
If you design, develop, or manage the building of large software systems (or plan to do so), or if you are interested in acquiring such systems for your corporation or government agency, use Software Architecture in Practice, Second Edition, to get up to speed on the current state of software architecture. Book News Annotation:Introducing the fundamental concepts and identifying best practices in the field, this textbook explains the role of software architecture in achieving system quality, its importance for a company's business strategy, and the specifics of how software is structured and how its components interact. Technical topics related to the design, specification, and validation of a system are detailed, with particular attention to the relevance of a project's business context. Case studies profiling successful architecture illustrate key points in both the technical and the organizational discussion. The authors are software engineers.

Synopsis:Distinct from details such as implementation, an architecture is a reusable asset that can be applied to subsequent systems. This text introduces concepts and best practices of software architecture - that is, what it is designed to do and how the systems elements should interact.
Synopsis:Includes bibliographical references (p. 489-494) and index.
Synopsis:This is the eagerly-anticipated revision to one of the seminal books in the field of software architecture which clearly defines and explains the topic.
