Creating architecture

Should address System decomposition

structural elements, architectural components,subsystems, sub-assemblies

Cross-cutting concerns broad-scoped qualities or properties of the system

Component topology

Is a central thinking and communicatingtool for the architects and thedevelopment team, and others theypartner with.

Should include Meta architecture Architectural views

What is NOT Software Architecture

Not lower level design (e.g., design of component internals and

algorithms) software architecture is not the information

(or data) model it is also not the hardware architecture of a

product to be manufactured
