The document discusses software architecture and defines it as the fundamental organization of a system embodied by its components, their relationships, and design principles. It provides examples of common software architecture structures like modules and components, distribution, and multiple views. Common architectural patterns are also presented, including layers, client-server, master-slave, pipe-filter, and MVC, with examples to illustrate each pattern. The role of the software architect is discussed as well as why architecture is important for systems that are large-scale, distributed, and secure.

Software Architecture
• Architecture
• « Architecture is the fundamental organization of a system, embodied in its
components, their relationships to each other and the environment, and the
principles governing its design and evolution. » [ANSI/IEEE Std 1471-2000]
• Software Architecture
• « The software architecture of a program or computing system is the
structure or structures of the system, which comprise software elements,
the externally visible properties of those elements, and the relationships
among them. »[SEI]

MedTech A Good Software Architecture… • Considers for the system: • The functional requirements • The non functional requirements • The entire system lifecycle • Helps us understand the system: • Divides the system meaningfully • Abstract complicated details • Provides the framework for: • Realization • Project Planning • Project Organization • Integrate all the development artefacts • Provide documentation Dr. Lilia SFAXI www.liliasfaxi.wix.com/liliasfaxi Slide 10 Software Architecture - Definition

- 14. MedTech Architectural Patterns • An architectural pattern in a proven structural organization schema for software systems • Architectural Patterns vs Design Patterns (already seen in chapter 4) • Design Patterns offer a common solution for a common problem in the form of classes working together • Smaller in scale than architectural patterns, where the components are subsystems rather than classes • Design Patterns do not influence the fundamental structure of a system • Only affect a single subsystem • They may help implementing an architectural pattern • Some (not all) architectural patterns are described here-after Dr. Lilia SFAXI www.liliasfaxi.wix.com/liliasfaxi Slide 14 Software Architecture Patterns
- 15. MedTech Pattern 1: Layers Pattern • Helps structure applications that can be decomposed into groups of subtasks, each of which is at a particular level of abstraction • Each layer provides services to the next higher layer • Services in a layer are implemented using services from the next lower layer • Service requests are frequently done by using synchronus procedure calls • Most famous example of layered systems: networking protocols Dr. Lilia SFAXI www.liliasfaxi.wix.com/liliasfaxi Slide 15 Software Architecture Patterns

- 18. MedTech Pattern 2: Client-Server Pattern • A server component provides services to multiple client components • A client component requests services from the server component • Servers are permanently active, listening for clients • Client and server may reside in different machines • This pattern can be considered as a form of the layered pattern with two layers, the clients being the higher level and the server the lower level • Examples • Remote database access • Remote file systems access • Web-based applications (browsers request from a web server) Dr. Lilia SFAXI www.liliasfaxi.wix.com/liliasfaxi Slide 18 Software Architecture Patterns

- 20. MedTech Pattern 3: Master-Slave Pattern • Supports fault-tolerance and parallel computation • The master component distributes the work among identical slave components, and computes a final result from the results they return • Applied for instance in : • Process control • Embedded systems • Large scale parallel computations • Fault-tolerant systems Dr. Lilia SFAXI www.liliasfaxi.wix.com/liliasfaxi Slide 20 Software Architecture Patterns

- 22. MedTech Pattern 4: Pipe-Filter Pattern • Provides a structure for systems that produce a stream of data • Each processing step is encapsulated in a filter component • Data is passed through pipes • Pipes can be used for buffering or for synchronization • This pattern divides the task of a system into several processing steps • The steps are connected by the data flow • The output of a step is the input for the next step • Common examples: • Pipe-filter in the unix shell commands • cat file | grep xyz | sort | uniq > out • Compilers Dr. Lilia SFAXI www.liliasfaxi.wix.com/liliasfaxi Slide 22 Software Architecture Patterns

- 24. MedTech Pattern 5: MVC Pattern • Model-View-Controller Pattern • An interactive application is divided into three parts: • Model • Contains core fundtionality and data • View • Displays the information to the user • Controller • Handles the input from the user • Often uses the Observer design pattern • User input can invoke a change in the model, and in the displayed view • Makes it easy to have multiple views of the same model Dr. Lilia SFAXI www.liliasfaxi.wix.com/liliasfaxi Slide 24 Software Architecture Patterns
