Illustration of the 4+1 Architectural View Model. 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.
The SAP Enterprise Architecture Framework (EAF) is a methodology and toolset by the German multinational software company SAP. It is based on The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF). The TOGAF Architecture Development Method is a generic method for architecture development, which is designed to deal with most system and organizational ...
The TEAF Matrix of Views and Perspectives.. A view model or viewpoints framework in systems engineering, software engineering, and enterprise engineering is a framework which defines a coherent set of views to be used in the construction of a system architecture, software architecture, or enterprise architecture.
An architectural model (in software) is a diagram created by using available standards in which the primary aim is to illustrate a specific set of tradeoffs inherent in the structure and design of a system or ecosystem.
The C4 model documents the architecture of a software system, by showing multiple points of view [5] that explain the decomposition of a system into containers and components, the relationship between these elements, and, where appropriate, the relation with its users. [3] The viewpoints are organized according to their hierarchical level: [2] [3]
Enterprise architecture regards the enterprise as a large and complex system or system of systems. [3] To manage the scale and complexity of this system, an architectural framework provides tools and approaches that help architects abstract from the level of detail at which builders work, to bring enterprise design tasks into focus and produce valuable architecture description documentation.
Early attempts to capture and explain software architecture of a system were imprecise and disorganized, often characterized by a set of box-and-line diagrams. [23] Software architecture as a concept has its origins in the research of Edsger Dijkstra in 1968 and David Parnas in the early 1970s. These scientists emphasized that the structure of ...
A diagram is a partial graphic representation of a system's model. The set of diagrams need not completely cover the model and deleting a diagram does not change the model. The model may also contain documentation that drives the model elements and diagrams (such as written use cases). UML diagrams represent two different views of a system ...
