Bøker i Applied Software Engineering Series-serien

This text uses examples, review questions, lab exercises, and case study assignments to explain the concepts that are immediately relevant to software designers. Providing students and practitioners with the understanding needed to design complex software systems, it starts with a review of software design fundamentals. It presents a formal top-down design process that consists of several design activities with varied levels of detail. For each topic discussed, it includes a step-by-step breakdown of the execution of the design solution, along with an evaluation, discussion, and justification for using that solution.

Describes how software engineers and the managers that supervise them can develop quality software in an effective, efficient, and professional manner. This volume concentrates on what the real requirements of a system are, and what constitutes an appropriate solution.

Modern-day projects require software and systems engineers to work together in realizing architectures of large and complex software-intensive systems. To date, the two have used their own tools and methods to deal with similar issues when it comes to the requirements, design, testing, maintenance, and evolution of these architectures.Software and Systems Architecture in Action explores practices that can be helpful in the development of architectures of large-scale systems in which software is a major component. Examining the synergies that exist between the disciplines of software and systems engineering, it presents concepts, techniques, and methods for creating and documenting architectures.The book describes an approach to architecture design that is driven from systemic quality attributes determined from both the business and technical goals of the system, rather than just its functional requirements. This architecture-centric design approach utilizes analytically derived patterns and tactics for quality attributes that inform the architectΓÇÖs design choices and help shape the architecture of a given system.The book includes coverage of techniques used to assess the impact of architecture-centric design on the structural complexity of a system. After reading the book, you will understand how to create architectures of systems and assess their ability to meet the business goals of your organization.Ideal for anyone involved with large and complex software-intensive systems, the book details powerful methods for engaging the software and systems engineers on your team. The book is also suitable for use in undergraduate and graduate-level courses on software and systems architecture as it exposes students to the concepts and techniques used to create and manage architectures of software-intensive systems.
