Part I – History of Structure in Software Engineering

Software Crisis

Software Engineering

Evolution of Structure concept in SE

Architecture is ... The underlying structure of things:

Buildings Vehicles Computers ... Software

Early Computers Evolved during the Second

World War. Basically needed for

mathematical calculations and code breaking.

Setting switches and plugging cables into sockets.

Von Neumann Architecture: program: set of instructions, stored in memory

www.computerhistory.org

First Programming Languages 1951-1960 Machine language (written in binary), machine

specific Assembly languages, symbolic instructions Use of a translator to translate the assembly

language into machine language.

Problem Concern: Computing and algorithms Solution Concern: Basic applications include

calculations; calculations are based on algorithms; algorithm is a step-by-step process that manipulates data.

Fortran, ALGOL and LISPFORTRAN (FORmula TRANslator), 1957 high-level language introduced variables, procedures, statement labels etc

ALGOL 60 (ALGOrithmic Language), 1958 Block structure, recursion, and a formal definition. ancestor of most contemporary languages

LISP (LIST Processor), 1960 symbolic processing for AI symbolic differentiation, integration and theorem verification

Evolution of applications More powerful computers

transistor IC

High Level Programming Languages ‘Normal’ business started to use computer Need for data processing applications in business

COBOL – COmmon Business Oriented Language, 1960 elaborate datastructures record type introduced for the first time

Abstract Data Types / Objects Simula 67 An extension of Algol 60 for simulation of concurrent

processes. Introduced the concept of classes and

encapsulation; forerunner of Smalltalk and C++.

Early history of computing... 1940s: First computers Problems: Numerical/algorithmic applications Method:

Programming languages, Machine Languages, Assembly Language

1950s: First programming languages Algol, Fortran, LISP, COBOL.

1960s: Problems got more complex: data intensive business applications…

‘Direct’ mapping of problem to solution,No systematic methodProblems are simple, algorithmic

Software Crisis

Software Late

Over Budget

Low Quality

Software Engineering

1968: NATO Conference on Software Engineering

Software Development should be based on ENGINEERING!

Dijkstra & Parnas: Structure Matters Dijkstra, 1968:

‘’...Correct arrangement of the structure of software systems before simple programming...‘’

Parnas, 1972: ‘’...selected criteria for the

decomposition of the system impact the structure of the programs and several design principles must be followed to provide a good structure...’’

Focused on Structure of Programming...

Edsger Dijkstra 1930-2002

Dijkstra - Layered Structures 1968 Operating Systems Layered Structure

Programs are grouped into layers Programs in one layer can only

communicate with programs in adjoining layers

Conceptual integrity Each layer has its own goal

with easier development and maintenance

E.W. Dijkstra, The structure of "THE"-multiprogramming system. Comm. ACM 11, 5 (May 1968), 341-346.

Parnas – Design principles Information-hiding modules (1972)

Identify design decisions that are likely to change Isolate these in separate modules (separation of concerns) Different design decisions might require different decompositions.

Software Structures (1974) Hierarchical structures (stepwise refinement) in programs

Program Families (1975) ‘’A program family is a set of programs for which it is profitable or

useful to consider as a group. ‘’D. Parnas, "On the Criteria to Be Used in Decomposing Systems into Modules.“, Comm. ACM 15, 12 (December 1972), 1053-1058. 1972.

D. Parnas, “On a ‘Buzzword’: Hierarchical Structure” IFIP Congress ‘74. North Holland Publishing Company, 1974 pp. 336-339

D. Parnas, “On the design and development of program families”IEEE Trans. On SE., vol. SE-2, pp.1-9, Mar. 1976

Structured Design Methods Aimed to develop structured programs By applying design principles

Information hiding Modularization Stepwise refinement Etc…

Object-Orientation In the beginning software was written without any

structure… … data and procedures were separated … data and procedures that belonged together were

put into subsystems (modules) … these subsystems were layered and finally objects encapsulated data for the sake

of structure.

Structure in Software 1960s - Structured Programming

Adopted into programming languages because it’s a better way to think about programming

1970s - Structured Design Methodology/guidelines for dividing programs into subroutines.

1980s – Modular programming languages Modular (object-based) programming

Grouping of sub-routines into modules with data.

1990s – Towards Software Architectures Object-Oriented Analysis/Design/Programming started being

commonly used Software Architecture Design

Structure in Software

Programming any-which-way

Programming in-the-world - software architecture

Programming in-the-large - object-oriented design - CASE tools - libraries

Programming in-the-small - information hiding, modularization

APPROACH PROBLEMS SOLVED

Simple, algorithmic

Data intensive, business applications

Large, complex, distributed

Mega programs

Summary on Structure in History Increased consciousness on structure of software Structure idea did not stop at programming level but

moved up to design methods. This has finally culminated in Software Architecture Successfully applied in industry which have specific

architecture design teams/divisions. Software Architecture is a logical step in the

evolution of structure concept. Is one of the most fundamental concepts in software

engineering.

Very intuitive notion of software architecture Software Architecture represents the gross level

structure of a software system. Design : Implementation = Software Architecture : Design

Part II - Definitions

What is a Software Architecture?

What is Software Architecture? Evolution of Software Architecture concept Resulted in different definitions in the history

Booch 1991 ”The Logical and physical structure of a system,

forged by all the strategic and tactical design decisions applied during development”

Architecture is high level structure of software system

Perry and Wolf 92 We distinguish three different classes of architectural

elements: processing elements; data elements; and connection elements. The processing elements are those components that supply the transformation on the data elements; the data elements are those that contain the information that is used and transformed; the connecting elements (which at times may be either processing or data elements, or both) are the glue that holds the different pieces of the architecture together.

explicitly considers the interpretation on the elements of software architecture

Garlan and Shaw 1993 ...beyond the algorithms and data structures of the computation;

designing and specifying the overall system structure emerges as a new kind of problem. Structural issues include gross organization and global control structure; protocols for communication, synchronization, and data access; assignment of functionality to design elements; physical distribution; composition of design elements; scaling and performance; and selection among design alternatives. This is the software architecture level of design.

This definition provides additional specializations of the structural issues.

Garlan 1995 The structure of the components of a

program/system, their interrelationships, and principles and guidelines governing their design and evolution over time.

design information in the architectural specification

Bass et al 98 The software architecture of a program or

computing system is the structure or structures of the system, which comprise software components, the externally visible properties of those components, and the relationships among them.

more than one structure and includes the behavior of the components as part of the architecture. The term component here is used as an abstraction of varying components.

Architecture:

Abstractions and their relations, which form a concept.

& relations

concept

abstractions

Architectures must have a well defined structure.

General definition

Concept:

A well-established definition within a given domain.

A concept is an essential abstraction, usable, andgenerally corresponds to an inherently complexstructure and/or behavior.

An abstraction of an architecture can also be an architecture (concept) thereby allowing hierarchicalarchitectural structures.

What is a concept?

Summary on Definitions Definition of Software Architecture Design has

evolved together with technical developments Gross Structure Specialization on definition of components Different structures

Different definitions but a common agreement on Architecture is structure including components and connections among these components

Concept of software architecture is important

Software Architecture Architecture is at a higher abstraction level of

software development than analysis and design. To comprehend the gross level structure of the

system it is necessary to design the architecture Realizing architecture implies mapping it to detailed

design.

Part IV – Rationale for Software Architecture

Example – Conveyor Line Sorting System Design the software for a conveyor

sorting line system (CLSS) which sorts boxes moving along a conveyor line. Each box is identified by a bar code and is sorted into one of six bins at the end of the line. The boxes pass by a sorting station that contains a bar code reader and a PC. The sorting station PC is connected to a shunting mechanism that sorts the boxes into the bins.

Abstract Specification

--------------------------------------------------------------C O D E----------------------------------------- --------------------

Architecture represents a common high level abstract specification.

Abstraction helps to cope with complexity

Abstraction improves understanding of the software system.

Question is how to define the right architectural abstractions.

Stakeholder Communication

Stakeholder is any person who has interest in the architecture, i.e. analyst, designers, implementers, managers, testers etc.

Software architecture provides a common medium for communication among stakeholders

This will improve understanding/ development and maintenance of the system.

Guides development process Architecture is explicit Focus on Architectural

Components. Analyse and Design based

on architectural components.

impact of changes.

Rationale for Software Architecture Improved understanding because of a higher level

abstract specification Guides construction since it embodies earliest
