"This new edition is brighter, shinier, more complete, more pragmatic, more focused than the previous one, and I wouldn\'t have thought it possible to improve on the original.
Before joining the SEI, he was a Software engineer at Robert Bosch GmbH in corporate research, where he worked with Software development depa.
He is coauthor of the Attribute-Driven Design Method, a contributor to and instructor for the ATAM Evaluator Training course, and a contributor to the book Software Architecture in Practice, Second Edition .
Felix Bachmann is a Senior Member of the Technical Staff at the SEI, working in the Architecture Centric Engineering Initiative.
He is a founding member of the IFIP Working Group on Software Architecture (WG2.10). in computer sciences from the University of Texas at Austin in 1994.
He received a Ph.
D.
In 2005 and 2006 he spent a year as a visiting faculty member at the Indian Institute of Technology in Mumbai.
In addition, Clements has authored dozens of papers in Software engineering, reflecting his longstanding interest in the design and specification of challenging Software systems.
He also cowrote Software Product Lines: Practices and Patterns (Addison-Wesley, 2001) and was coauthor and editor of Constructing Superior Software (Sams, 1999).
Besides this one, Clements is the coauthor of two other practitioner-oriented books about Software architecture: Software Architecture in Practice (Addison-Wesley, 1998
Second Edition 2003) and Evaluating Software Architectures: Methods and Case Studies (Addison-Wesley, 2001).
New and improved in this second edition: Coverage of architectural styles such as service-oriented architectures, multi-tier architectures, and data models Guidance for documentation in an Agile development environment Deeper treatment of documentation of rationale, reflecting best industrial practices Improved templates, reflecting years of use and feedback, and more documentation layout options A new, comprehensive example (available online), featuring documentation of a Web-based service-oriented system Reference guides for three important architecture documentation languages: UML, AADL, and SySML About the Author: Paul Clements is a Senior Member of the Technical Staff at the Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute (SEI), where he has worked since 1994 leading or coleading projects in Software product-line engineering and Software architecture documentation and analysis.
The book features rules for sound documentation, the goals and strategies of documentation, architectural Views and styles, documentation for Software interfaces and Software behavior, and templates for capturing and organizing information to generate a coherent package.
Drawing on their extensive experience, the authors first help you decide what information to document, and then, with guidelines and examples (in various notations, including UML), show you how to express an architecture so that others can successfully build, use, and maintain a system from it.
Documenting Software Architectures, Second Edition, provides the most complete and current guidance, independent of language or notation, on how to capture an architecture in a commonly understandable form.
Even with a superb architecture, if that architecture is not well understood or well communicated the project is unlikely to succeed.
Without an architecture that is appropriate for the problem being solved, a project will stumble along or, most likely, fail.
Practitioners have increasingly discovered that close attention to a Software system\'s architecture pays valuable dividends.
As the field of Software architecture has grown over these past decades, there is much more to be said, much more that we know, and much more that we can reflect upon of what\'s worked and what hasn\'t--and the authors here do all that, and more." --From the Foreword by Grady Booch, IBM Fellow Software architecture--the conceptual glue that holds every phase of a project together for its many stakeholders--is widely recognized as a critical element in modern Software development.
