Software Architecture Design

Software architectures include the early design decisions and embody the overall structure that impacts the whole system. It is generally accepted that architecture design should support the required software system qualities such as robustness, reusability and adaptability. For supporting these quality factors the common assumption is that identifying the fundamental concerns for architecture design is necessary. To identify the relevant architectural components, various software architecture design methods have been introduced. This goal of this section is to provide a broad discussion on software architecture design in general and present a domain-driven software architecture design approach (Synbad). The following items will be discussed:
