Architecture (not Software Architecture) 1. the art or science of building ; specifically : the art or practice of designing and building structures and especially habitable ones 2. a: formation or construction resulting from or as if from a conscious act <the architecture of the garden> b: a unifying or coherent form or structure <the novel lacks architecture> – 13 – CSCE 742 Summer 2017
Architecture Handbook – 14 – CSCE 742 Summer 2017
Technical Sketches Drafting Architectural drafting is basically pictorial images of buildings, interiors, details, or other items that need to be built. These are different from other types of drawings as they are drawn to scale, include accurate measurements and detailed information, and other information necessary to build a structure. – 15 – http://www.iar.unicamp.br/lab/luz/ld/Arquitetural/livros/interior%20design%20student%20handbook.pdf CSCE 742 Summer 2017

Computer Architecture “computer architecture is a set of rules and methods that describe the functionality, organization, and implementation of computer systems” (Wikipedia) the components and their interactions – 18 – CSCE 742 Summer 2017
Software Architecture Issues Structural issues Organization of the systems as in the composition of components Global control structures Protocols for communication, synchronization and access Assignment of functionality to design elements Composition of design elements Physical distribution Scaling and performance – 19 – Quality Attributes CSCE 742 Summer 2017
Quality Attributes Requirements – Functional requirements Non-functional requirements == Quality Attributes Examples: Availability Usability Security Performance Latency throughput – 20 – CSCE 742 Summer 2017
What is Software Architecture? (2) Software architecture involves: 1. the description of elements from which systems are built 2. Interactions among those elements 3. Patterns that guide their composition 4. Constraints on these patterns Thus a system is defined in terms of components and interactions among those components. This system may then form an element in a higher level design. – 21 – CSCE 742 Summer 2017
Describing Software Architectures It has been recognized for a long time that “Finding an appropriate architectural design is key to long-term success.” Current practices for describing architectures typically informal Idiosyncratic Ad hoc Typically box and line diagrams with accompanying prose But things are getter better. UML and such – 22 – CSCE 742 Summer 2017
Describing Software Architectures “Camelot is based on the client-server model and uses remote procedure calls …” “Abstraction layering and system decomposition …” “We have chosen a distributed, object-oriented approach to managing information.” “The easiest way to make the canonical sequential compiler into a concurrent compiler is to pipeline the execution of the compiler phases.” – 23 – CSCE 742 Summer 2017
Some Perspective on the formalization of Software Architectures Consider the development of programming languages as a sequence: Introduce Use to solve problems Develop patterns that are “good solutions” Abstract from the patterns new concepts to integrate – 24 – CSCE 742 Summer 2017
Abstraction in Programming Languages 1. Pre 1946 – program with plug boards 2. Von Neumann – stored program concept; but programmed in machine code 3. Symbolic Assemblers – “Load X” instead of 0x251049 4. Formula Translators (Fortran) Algebraic expression evaluation Patterns lead to formalization Loops, arrays, … 5. Abstract data types / Object Oriented Programming – 25 – CSCE 742 Summer 2017
Where are we now in Software Architectures? Mid 1990’s (Shaw and Garlan) realization of examples of good architectural sytle. Abstract from these examples concepts and features leading to the development of systems for representing, documenting, and evaluating software architectures. Reflection on 20 Years of Architecture – Linda Northrop http://resources.sei.cmu.edu/asset_files/Presentation/2012_017_001_23736.pdf – 26 – CSCE 742 Summer 2017
Common Architectural Styles We now will overview some commonly used architectural styles. The framework that we will use in this discussion is to Treat an architecture as a collection of computational components together with their interactions. A graph with annotations for the connections describing how the components interact. – 27 – CSCE 742 Summer 2017
Pipes and Filters In a pipe and filter style each component has a set of inputs and a set of outputs. The output is frequently viewed as a function of just the input but it also could remember some state. e.g., Unix shell scripts – 28 – CSCE 742 Summer 2017
Pipes and Filters Advanatges: 1. allow understanding overall behavior as composition of simpler behaviors 2. They support reuse; a good filter gets used many times. 3. Systems can easily be maintained and extended. 4. Permit certain kinds of analysis; throughput, deadlock analysis. Disadvantages 1. Not good for handling highly interactive systems. 2. They force lowest common denominator in I/O; sending characters then reparsing words etc. – 29 – CSCE 742 Summer 2017
Data Abstraction and Object-Oriented Organization UML diagrams; ER diagrams for Databases Objects interact through method invocation Many nice features including data hiding Disadvantage: for interaction you must know the other object – 30 – CSCE 742 Summer 2017

Repositories In a repository architecture there are two types of components: 1) A central data structure (the blackboard) for storing the current state 2) independent components that manipulate the central state (figure taken from Shaw and Garlan) – 33 – CSCE 742 Summer 2017

Case Study: Key word in context In 1972, Parnas proposed the following problem KWIC: The KWIC [Key Word in Context] index system: 1. Accepts an ordered set of lines, each line is an ordered set of words, and each word is an ordered set of characters. 2. Any line may be ``circularly shifted'' by repeatedly removing the first word and appending it at the end of the line. 3. The KWIC index system outputs a listing of all circular shifts of all lines in alphabetical order. Reference: “On the Criteria for Decomposing Systems into Modules,” David Parnas. CACM, 1972 – 42 – CSCE 742 Summer 2017
Case Study: Decomposition in KWIC Parnas used the problem to contrast different criteria for decomposing a system into modules: 1. Functional decomposition with shared access to data representations, and 2. A decomposition that hides design decisions. Examples: permuted index of the Unix man – 43 – CSCE 742 Summer 2017
KWIC: Software Arch. Considerations Changes in processing algorithm Changes in data representation Enhancement to system function Performance: Both space and time. Reuse: To what extent can the components serve as reusable entities. – 44 – CSCE 742 Summer 2017
