Architectural Design
 Architectural design is concerned with understanding how a
system should be organized and designing the overall structure of
that system.

 It is the critical link between design and requirements engineering,


as it identifies the main structural components in a system and
the relationships between them.

 The output of the architectural design process is an architectural


model that describes how the system is organized as a set of
components.

Architectural design decisions
 Architectural design is a creative process where you design a
system organization that will satisfy the functional and non-
functional requirements of a system.
Architectural design decisions
 Architectural design is a creative process where you design a system organization
that will satisfy the functional and non-functional requirements of a system.

 Because it is a creative process, the activities within the process depend on the
type of system being developed, the background and experience of the system
architect, and the specific requirements for the system.

 During the architectural design process, system architects have to make a


number of structural decisions that profoundly the system and its development
process.

Architectural patterns
Architectural views
1.A logical view
2. A process view
3. A development view
4. A physical view
1.A logical view
 It should be possible to relate the system
requirements to entities in this logical view.

 This view used to show functional requirements or


functionality.

 Sequence diagram and class diagram are used to


show the architectural design.
2. A process view
 It deals with run-time aspect of the system like
scalability and performance.

 Activity diagram used to show the architectural


design.

 It is also called as task view.


A development view
 It shows the breakdown of the software into
components that are implemented by a single
developer or development team. This view is useful
for software managers and programmers.

 It is also called as component view.


4.A physical view
 Itshows the system hardware and how
software components are distributed across
the processors in the system.

 Thisview is useful for systems engineers


planning a system deployment.
Architectural patterns
 Theidea of patterns as a way of presenting,
sharing, and reusing knowledge about
software systems .

4.Pipe and filter architecture

Application architectures

 1. As a starting point for the architectural design


process
 2. As a design checklist
 3. As a way of organizing the work of the development team
 4. As a means of assessing components for reuse
 5. As a vocabulary for talking about types of applications
1. Transaction processing applications
Transaction processing applications are database-centered
applications that process user requests for information and
update the information in a database.

These are the most common type of interactive business systems.


They are organized in such a way that user actions can’t interfere
with each other and the integrity of the database is maintained.

Information systems
 An information system allows controlled access to a
large base of information, such as a library catalog, a
flight timetable, or the records of patients in a
hospital.

 Increasingly, information systems are web-based


systems that are accessed through a web browser.

Language processing systems
 Language processing systems translate a natural or artificial
language into another representation of that language and, for
programming languages, may also execute the resulting code.

 In software engineering, compilers translate an artificial


programming language into machine code.

 Other language-processing systems may translate an XML


data description into commands to query a database or to an
alternative XML representation. Natural language processing
systems may translate one natural language to another.

 Language processing systems are systems in which the user’s


intentions are expressed in a formal language (such as Java).
