Product Description
Software Systems Architecture is a practitioner-oriented guide to designing and implementing effective architectures for information systems. It is both a readily accessible introduction to software architecture and an invaluable handbook of well-established best practices. It shows why the role of the architect is central to any successful information-systems development project, and, by presenting a set of architectural viewpoints and perspectives, provides specific direction for improving your own and your organization's approach to software systems architecture.With this book you will learn how to *Design an architecture that reflects and balances the different needs of its stakeholders *Communicate the architecture to stakeholders and demonstrate that it has met their requirements *Focus on architecturally significant aspects of design, including frequently overlooked areas such as performance, resilience, and location *Use scenarios and patterns to drive the creation and validation of your architecture *Document your architecture as a set of related views *Use perspectives to ensure that your architecture exhibits important qualities such as performance, scalability, and security The architectural viewpoints and perspectives presented in the book also provide a valuable long-term reference source for new and experienced architects alike. Whether you are an aspiring or practicing software architect, you will find yourself referring repeatedly to the practical advice in this book throughout the lifecycle of your projects.

2 out of 5 stars Disappointing (for a development architect)   November 3, 2008
  0 out of 1 found this review helpful

br /I bought this book a year ago because:br /1. I was promoted to be an architect role and wanted an extra advicebr /2. The reviews for this book were excitingbr /br /Actually I was very disappointed with this book. This book will not teach you how improve your architecture but rather deal with techniques to review existing architectures.br /The techniques themselves seem to be rather archaic and heavy and serve a little in practice, since the different work environment and organizations are not taken into account.br /br /I can assume this book can be useful for an IT dept. architect that mainly focusing on evaluating 3rd party architectures and has full freedom to set the methodology.br /br /If you want to learn some more real world practice, check Release It!: Design and Deploy Production-Ready Software (Pragmatic Programmers) (Pragmatic Programmers) which does not pretends to, but is actually one of the best architecture books I've read both for IT dept. architect, solution architect or development architect.

I bought this book for my husband. He uses it to help him with work. He is a Senior Software Engineer.


5 out of 5 stars One more gushing fan   July 15, 2008
At the risk of adding one more gushing review to this excellent book - let me say that this book is very good for relatively non-technical folks also. I am working as a manager of a technical team and I used this book to come up on speed on the basics of software architecture. The material layout is very clear and consistent - it helped me to get through the basic concepts quickly and come back for a more detailed reading. The book helped me to ask the relevant questions and focus the team on the right sense of issues. br /br /Only suggestion I have for a subsequent edition is to include one full blown case study.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent book on Software Architecture   June 16, 2008
Having been in the IT world for more than 25 years and studying this topic for many of those years I have found this book to be extremely accessible. I reference it often. I like the way it deals with real business world issues as opposed to on board jet navigation systems etc. I rate it right along with Craig Larman "Applying UML and Patterns".

It is a very thorough and well written book. Authors have introduced idea of perspectives (viewpoints related to cross-cutting concerns) and I totally agree with authors on benefits of using perspectives rather than treating them as viewpoints. My AD of new project is based on viewpoints and perspectives separation suggested by authors.
