Overview
A Comprehensive Process for Defining Software Architectures
That Work
A good software architecture is the foundation of any successful
software system. Effective architecting requires a clear
understanding of organizational roles, artifacts, activities
performed, and the optimal sequence for performing those
activities.
With The Process of Software Architecting, Peter
Eeles and Peter Cripps provide guidance on these challenges by
covering all aspects of architecting a software system, introducing
best-practice techniques that apply in every environment, whether
based on Java EE, Microsoft .NET, or other technologies. Eeles and
Cripps first illuminate concepts related to software architecture,
including architecture documentation and reusable assets. Next,
they present an accessible, task-focused guided tour through a
typical project, focusing on the architect’s role, with
common issues illuminated and addressed throughout. Finally, they
conclude with a set of best practices that can be applied to
today’s most complex systems.

professional who needs to understand how architecture influences
their work.
