System architecture is the bridge between system analysis and system
design. This course examines viewpoints and perspectives for developing an
architectural description for an information system or computer application.
Architectural viewpoints include processes (both business and software),
databases, networks, people, timing, and motivation. Architectural
perspectives for those viewpoints are addressed to various stakeholders that
include system owners, users, designers, and builders. The end result is a
comprehensive architectural description that serves as a blueprint for
subsequent system and application implementation, and which addresses
the functional and technical requirements and concerns of various
stakeholder groups. Students will learn both how to develop architectural
descriptions that address specific requirements such as accessibility,
availability, usability, performance, security, interoperability, scalability,
development, and sustainability. Students will also learn how to document
architecture with appropriate system models and other artifacts. The content
of this course is most applicable to current and future systems
analysts/architects, database developers, commercial software developers,
and project managers.
