Is software architecture art, science, engineering, or something new? This debate has long been central to the community.

Structured software is based on a plan that considers the specific requirements of a system and translates them into loosely coupled components. In collaborative software development, development ...

Software engineering continues to evolve as developers face increasingly complex systems and user requirements. Among the foundational elements that guide elegant solutions to recurring problems, ...

Design patterns constitute a fundamental component in the architecture of software systems, providing standardised and reusable solutions to recurring design challenges. Originating from seminal works ...

In today's lightning-fast software landscape, traditional architecture practices are becoming a bottleneck. The velocity and complexity of systems scaling across ephemeral microservices, complex APIs ...

Embedded software and its specification is a vital component in deploying SoCs with reduced time-to-market. A key contribution to this is the technology area of embedded software architecture. This ...
