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
How do we determine architecture? a Synthesis a Discovery 口 Chance
How do we determine architecture? Synthesis Discovery Chance
Synthesis a Combining existing systems to satisfy stated needs a Requires logic and complete( or near complete)knowledge of existing systems 日 EXample(s) N Designing a mechanism to support a person who wants to cross "overa river or stream
Synthesis Combining existing systems to satisfy stated needs Requires logic and complete (or near complete) knowledge of existing systems Example(s): È Designing a mechanism to support a person who wants to cross “over” a river or stream
Key question(s) for synthesis? a What functions do need to get the job done? a Is there a way to combine existing systems to do the desired functions without having too many extra functions and too much extra form? a What rules do I have to apply to do this?

Discovery a Using knowledge of existing architecture to discover new architecture a Requires knowledge of existing systems and pattern recognition, analysis and abstraction skills 日 EXample(s) V Man learning how to fly V Disease and drug pathways
Discovery Using knowledge of existing architecture to “discover” new architecture Requires knowledge of existing systems and pattern recognition, analysis and abstraction skills Example(s): È Man learning how to fly È Disease and drug pathways
Key question(s) for discovery? d Is there some analogous system in another domain a What are the properties of a given architecture that makes it perform so well for poorly)? Are there similar ( or better) ways to perform those functions?
