system is a depic(on of the system that aids in the understanding of how the system will behave. So(ware architecture serves as the blueprint for both the system and the project developing it, defining the work assignments that must be carried out by design and implementaFon teams. The architecture is the primary carrier of system quali(es such as performance, modifiability, and security, none of which can be achieved without a unifying architectural vision. Architecture is an arFfact for early analysis to make sure that a design approach will yield an acceptable system. SEI SoAware Engineering Ins(tute
a structured solu(on that meets all of the technical and opera(onal requirements, while op(mizing common quality aCributes such as performance, security, and manageability. It involves a series of decisions based on a wide range of factors, and each of these decisions can have considerable impact on the quality, performance, maintainability, and overall success of the applicaFon.

in PracFce, Second EdiFon The so(ware architecture of a program or compuFng system is the structure or structures of the system, which comprise soAware elements, the externally visible proper(es of those elements, and the rela(onships among them. “Externally visible” properFes are those assumpFons other elements can make of an element, such as its provided services, performance characterisFcs, fault handling, shared resource usage, and so on. —Len Bass, Paul Clements, and Rick Kazman, So(ware Architecture in PracFce, Second EdiFon
its environment [IEEE]. The architecture of a so(ware system (at a given point in Fme) is its organiza(on or structure of significant components interac(ng through interfaces, those components being composed of successively smaller components and interfaces
can be recursively decomposed into parts that interact through interfaces, rela(onships that connect parts, and constraints for assembling parts. Parts that interact through interfaces include classes, components and subsystems.
Philippe Kruchten, Grady Booch, Kurt BiZner, and Rich Reitman derived and refined a definiFon of architecture based on work by Mary Shaw and David Garlan (Shaw and Garlan 1996). Their definiFon is: SoAware architecture encompasses the set of significant decisions about the organizaFon of a so(ware system including the selecFon of the structural elements and their interfaces by which the system is composed; behavior as specified in collaboraFon among those elements; composi(on of these structural and behavioral elements into larger subsystems; and an architectural style that guides this organizaFon. So(ware architecture also involves funcFonality, usability, resilience, performance, reuse, comprehensibility, economic and technology constraints, tradeoffs and aestheFc concerns
PracFce (2nd ediFon), Bass, Clements, and Kazman define architecture as follows: “The so(ware architecture of a program or compuFng system is the structure or structures of the system, which comprise so(ware elements, the externally visible properFes of those elements, and the rela(onships among them. Architecture is concerned with the public side of interfaces; private details of elements—details having to do solely with internal implementaFon—are not architectural.”
decisions about the organiza(on of a soAware system, the selecFon of structural elements and their interfaces by which the system is composed, together with their behavior as specified in the collabora(ons among those elements, the composiFon of these elements into progressively larger subsystems, and the architectural style that guides this organizaFon -‐-‐ these elements and their interfaces, their collaboraFons, and their composiFon.

when explaining architecture. He idenFfies these themes as: “The highest-‐level breakdown of a system into its parts; the decisions that are hard to change; there are mulFple architectures in a system; what is architecturally significant can change over a system's lifeFme; and, in the end, architecture boils down to whatever the important stuff is.”
