Software developers have often adopted specific architectural patterns for system organization - but, for the most part, informally. In this book, authors Mary Shaw and David Garlan discuss the formalization of what, until now, has been "a substantial folklore of system design, with little consistency or precision."

With their unique perspective on the current state of software architecture and its impact on design, the authors provide useful information for several types of readers…

Appropriate for special topic courses on Software Architecture or as an inexpensive supplement to software engineering courses. Shaw and Garland examine the useful abstractions and paradigms of system design as well as key notations and tools. They present an introduction to software architecture that illustrates the current state of the discipline and examines ways in which architectural issues can impact software design.
