+00:00:00,140 --> 00:00:02,460

+After this interesting conversation with Neno, let me start

+

+2

+00:00:02,460 --> 00:00:06,060

+the lesson by defining what a software architecture is.

+

+3

+00:00:06,060 --> 00:00:07,600

+And to do that, I'm going to use two

+

+4

+00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:11,030

+seminal definitions. The first one is from Dewayne Perry

+

+5

+00:00:11,030 --> 00:00:13,990

+and Alex Wolf. And they define a software architecture

+

+6

+00:00:13,990 --> 00:00:17,940

+as elements, form and rationale. In this definition, the

+

+7

+00:00:17,940 --> 00:00:21,300

+elements are the what, which means the processes, data,

+

+8

+00:00:21,300 --> 00:00:25,430

+and connectors that compose a software architecture. The form

+

+9

+00:00:25,430 --> 00:00:27,780

+is the how, the set of properties of

+

+10

+00:00:27,780 --> 00:00:32,030

+in relationships among these elements. And, finally, the rationale

+

+11

+00:00:32,030 --> 00:00:35,390

+is the why, the justification for the elements and

+

+12

+00:00:35,390 --> 00:00:38,440

+their relationships. The second definition I want to use

+

+13

+00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,710

+is from Mary Shaw and David Garland. And

+

+14

+00:00:40,710 --> 00:00:43,480

+they defined a software architecture as a level of

+

+15

+00:00:43,480 --> 00:00:47,300

+design that involves four main things, a description of

+

+16

+00:00:47,300 --> 00:00:50,860

+elements from which these systems are built, the interactions

+

+17

+00:00:50,860 --> 00:00:54,800

+among those elements, the patterns that guide their composition, and

+

+18

+00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,320

+finally, the constraints on these patterns. As you can see, these

+

+19

+00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,420

+definitions are fairly similar and there are many more alternative

+

+20

+00:01:01,420 --> 00:01:04,870

+definitions of software architecture. In fact, if we try to search

+

+21

+00:01:04,870 --> 00:01:08,540

+the term software architecture, we get over two million entries.

+

+22

+00:01:08,540 --> 00:01:10,670

+And if we look at the images in the results of

+

+23

+00:01:10,670 --> 00:01:13,110

+the search this is what we get. And I like this

+

+24

+00:01:13,110 --> 00:01:16,120

+sort of graphical depiction because it gives you a clear idea

+

+25

+00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,300

+the software architecture are prevalent concept, given the number of

+

+26

+00:01:19,300 --> 00:01:22,600

+results. But they also show you clearly, that software architecture are

+

+27

+00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,550

+complex entities, if you look at some of these pictures.

+

+28

+00:01:25,550 --> 00:01:28,930

+And ultimately, they show that software architecture are presented in all

+

+29

+00:01:28,930 --> 00:01:31,700

+kinds of ways including in 3D, if you look at this

+

+30

+00:01:31,700 --> 00:01:34,970

+picture. We cannot clearly cover all of these definitions in one

+

+31

+00:01:34,970 --> 00:01:37,340

+lesson. So what I will do instead, is to introduce

+

+32

+00:01:37,340 --> 00:01:40,750

+a very general definition that encompasses most of the existing ones.
