What is architecture? a Logical and physical embodiment of a system a Mechanism that v Shapes the functional and physical boundaries of the system V Governs the behavior and structure of the system
What is architecture? Logical and physical embodiment of a system Mechanism that È Shapes the functional and physical boundaries of the system È Governs the behavior and structure of the system
Why is architecture important? 日The“ right" architecture can: N Maximize system robustness v Maximize system flexibility V Minimize system complexity V Enable desirable behavior V Deter undesirable behavior 日 EXample(s) V An electrical circuit breaker limits the undesirable behavior that would result from a surge in the supply voltage
Why is architecture important? The “right” architecture can: È Maximize system robustness È Maximize system flexibility È Minimize system complexity È Enable desirable behavior È Deter undesirable behavior Example(s): È An electrical circuit breaker limits the undesirable behavior that would result from a surge in the supply voltage
