Code diagrams (level 4): provide additional details about the design of the architectural elements that can be mapped to code. The C4 model relies at this level on existing notations such as Unified Modelling Language (UML), Entity Relation Diagrams (ERD) or diagrams generated by Integrated Development Environments (IDE).
4+1 is a view model used for "describing the architecture of software-intensive systems, based on the use of multiple, concurrent views". [1] The views are used to describe the system from the viewpoint of different stakeholders, such as end-users, developers, system engineers, and project managers.
N-tier architecture is a good fit for small and simple applications because of its simplicity and low-cost. Also, it can be a good starting point when architectural requirements are not clear yet. [1] [2] A three-tier architecture is typically composed of a presentation tier, a logic tier, and a data tier.
System context diagrams are used early in a project to get agreement on the scope under investigation. [4] Context diagrams are typically included in a requirements document. These diagrams must be read by all project stakeholders and thus should be written in plain language, so the stakeholders can understand items within the document.
The architecture design uses information flowing characteristics, and maps them into the program structure. The transformation mapping method is applied to exhibit distinct boundaries between incoming and outgoing data. The data flow diagrams allocate control input, processing and output along three separate modules.
A NAF Architecture Viewpoint provides an example of a corresponding NAF Architecture View but does not have a mechanism to specify architecture view content. Note: the NAF version 4 (NAFv4) specifies how views of NAF version 3 (NAFv3) can be reused, i.e. each cell of the “grid” refers to the NAFv3 views and the NAFv4 methodology explains ...
A sample DSM with 7 elements and 11 dependency marks. The design structure matrix (DSM; also referred to as dependency structure matrix, dependency structure method, dependency source matrix, problem solving matrix (PSM), incidence matrix, N 2 matrix, interaction matrix, dependency map or design precedence matrix) is a simple, compact and visual representation of a system or project in the ...
Tier III: full N+1 redundancy of all systems, including power supply and cooling distribution paths Tier IV : as Tier III, but with 2N+1 redundancy of all systems A Tier III system is intended to operate at Tier II resiliency even when under maintenance, and a Tier IV system is intended to operate at Tier III resiliency even when under maintenance.
