Large Scale Software Architecture Tutorial

This tutorial will help you manage this complexity through the use of industry-proven software architecture approaches, based on the UML and IEEE 1471 standards. We will introduce software architecture terminology and approaches, focusing on a set of UML viewpoints that represent the important aspects of a large-scale software architecture. These viewpoints include context, component, subsystems, process and deployment. These viewpoints leverage the recent IEEE 1471 standard for software architecture representations providing a description of the purpose, stakeholders, and techniques associated with each viewpoint.

The tutorial also presents other practical techniques essential to developing an effective software architecture. Topics covered in the tutorial include:

• Techniques for handling large, complex systems
• Modeling of software subsystem interfaces and dependencies
• Modeling of components, component interactions, and component integration
• Modeling of process communication and software/hardware deployment
• Fitting architecture development into development processes

This tutorial has been presented at OOPSLA 2006 and has received praise from Michal Stal. The tutorial has also been presented at prior OOPSLA's, Working Conference on Software Architecture (WICSA), and Ground System Architectures Workshop (GSAW).
