GROUP 2 : Architectural design and models of software architecture

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AND MODELS OF SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE

i.                    Architectural Design

Architectural design is the initial stage of the process for designing the system. It is also a relationship between the specification and the design process. Usually done in parallel with some specification activity. It involves identifying the main system components and their communication.

ii.                  Logical View

Logical view is the services that the system provides to end-users depicted with UML model types: Class diagram, Communication diagram, Sequence diagram .

iii.                Process View

Process view is the process view deals with the dynamic aspects of the system, explains the system processes and how they communicate, and focuses on the runtime behaviour of the system. The process view addresses concurrency, distribution, integrators, performance, and scalability, etc.

iv.                 Development View

Development view is he system from a programmer's perspective, concerned with software management. This view is also known as the implementation view. It uses the UML Component diagram to describe system components. UML Diagrams used to represent the development view include the Package diagram.

v.                   Physical View

Physical view is the physical view depicts the system from a system engineer's point-of-view. It is concerned with the topology of software components on the physical layer, as well as the physical connections between these components. This view is also known as the deployment view. UML Diagrams used to represent physical view include the Deployment diagram.

vi.                 Scenario

Scenarios is the description of an architecture is illustrated using a small set of use cases, or scenarios which become a fifth view. The scenarios describe sequences of interactions between objects, and between processes. They are used to identify architectural elements and to illustrate and validate the architecture design. They also serve as a starting point for tests of an architecture prototype. UML Diagram(s) used to represent the scenario view include the Use case diagram.
