  1. Software Architecture orComponent Frameworks? Alexander L. Wolf University of Colorado at Boulder http://www.cs.colorado.edu/users/alw/

  2. Software architecture prototype formal notations prototype design environments assessment practices Component frameworks inherently support distributed systems compatible with popular OO methods supported by commercial products What Have You Done for Me Lately? • The “charitable” view • Component frameworks support only a specific architecture • Software architecture technology seeks to be general

  3. Component Frameworks are Here Today From: “Experience with Software Architectures and Configured Software Descriptions” by Walt Scacchi, University of California, IrvineJames S. Choi, California State University, Fullerton

  4. Architecture vs. Component Frameworks • Reduced risk? • Predictability of scalability, reliability, deployability, maintainability? • Skill value? • Market interest?

  5. One Attempt at Relating the Two Architectural Style Architectural Style?

  6. Some Challenge Problems • Capturing and supporting a component framework as an architectural style • Modeling and analyzing component frameworks as software architectures • Providing a rigorous method to choose among alternative component frameworks (as architectures, not as products) • Showing how to integrate some software architecture technology into an existing component framework support system
