The authors offer a small, integrated set of principles and models that form a basis for software design at all levels. Methods are provided for requirements analysis, software architecture, and the design of software components. The emphasis is on how to think about systems, enabling designers to produce better architecture and designs, regardless of the tools and implementation languages to be used.
Readers learn how to apply the principles and models in the specification and design of software systems to arrive at the highest level, and most complete and consistent view of a system; create malleable architecture by modeling the end-user's view of the environment; partition high-level software into subsystems, modules, and procedures; produce designs that correctly implement the specifications; introduce distribution and/or concurrency while preserving structure and maintainability; and incorporate documentation practices into the design process.
The book integrates object-oriented design, structured design, and step-by-step refinement with the above topics. It also incorporates material on client-server, distributed systems, and methods for unit specification and verification such as those used by "cleanroom" technology.
Software Architecture and Design: Principles, Models, and Methods offers a unified presentation of the essentials of good design that will meet the critical needs of practitioners and students of software engineering.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to World of Books Inc, Montgomery, Illinois, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
