    design • Architectural design is concerned with understanding how a software system should be organized and designing the overall structure of that system. • Architecture links design and requirements. It identifies the main structural components in a system and the relationships between them.

    representations • Simple, informal block diagrams showing entities and relationships are the most frequently used method for documenting software architectures. • But these have been criticized because they lack semantics, do not show the types of relationships between entities nor the visible properties of entities in the architecture. • However, they are useful for communication with stakeholders and for project planning.

    design decisions Is there a generic application architecture that can act as a template for the system that is being designed? How will the system be distributed across hardware cores or processors? What architectural patterns or styles might be used? What will be the fundamental approach used to structure the system? How will the structural components in the system be decomposed into sub-components? What strategy will be used to control the operation of the components in the system? What architectural organization is best for delivering the non-functional requirements of the system? How should the architecture of the system be documented? ?

    Patterns • Model-View-Controller (MVC) • Layered Architecture • Repository architecture (Blackboard) • Client-Server architecture

    Description Separates presentation and interaction from the system data into three logical components: • Model component manages the system data and associated operations on that data. • View component defines and manages how the data is presented to the user. • Controller component manages user interaction (e.g., key presses, mouse clicks, etc.) and passes these interactions to the View and the Model. When used Used when there are multiple ways to view and interact with data. Also used when the future requirements for interaction and presentation of data are unknown. Advantages Allows the data to change independently of its representation and vice versa. Supports presentation of the same data in different ways with changes made in one representation shown in all of them. Disadvantages Can involve additional code and code complexity when the data model and interactions are simple.
