Synopsis

Software architecture is a primary factor in the creation and evolution of virtually all products involving software. It is a topic of major interest in the research community where pronusmg formalisms, processes, and technologies are under development. Architecture is also of major interest in industry because it is recognized as a significant leverage point for manipulating such basic development factors as cost, quality, and interval. Its importance is attested to by the fact that there are several international workshop series as well as major conference sessions devoted to it. The First Working IFIP Conference on Software Architecture (WICSAl) provided a focused and dedicated forum for the international software architecture community to unify and coordinate its effort to advance the state of practice and research. WICSA 1 was organized to facilitate information exchange between practising software architects and software architecture researchers. The conference was held in San Antonio, Texas, USA, from February 22nd to February 24th, 1999; it was the initiating event for the new IFIP TC-2 Working Group on Software Architecture. This proceedings document contains the papers accepted for the conference. The papers in this volume comprise both experience reports and technical papers. The proceedings reflect the structure of the conference and are divided into six sections corresponding to the working groups established for the conference.

About this title

Synopsis

This book presents the current state-of-practice and research in the area of software architecture. In addition to detailing critical problems and their possible solutions in the field, the book identifies the gaps between business needs and research results and attempts to provide a bridge between them. Its scope includes theory, processes, technology, and specific examples. It represents: a state-of-the-art snapshot of the best cutting-edge thinking in academia, government and industry concerning software architecture; a summary of current research, case studies and experience reports; and, an identification of the problems and proposed solutions in the design, implementation and evolution of software architectures.This book comprises the proceedings of the First Working Conference on Software Architecture held in February, 1999, in San Antonio, Texas, USA. The conference was sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) and organized by the Software Engineering Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.

The conference proceedings will be particularly relevant to researchers in the field of software architecture and engineering and to practicing software architects in industry and government.
