Talk:Software architecture
There are many standards orgs, including the IEEE, ISO, and others.
In references "Software Architecture by Rick Kazman" is mentioned. The closest match I could find on the net is this one:
Software Architecture in Practice, Second Edition by Len Bass (Author), Paul Clements (Author), Rick Kazman (Author) (ISBN 0321154959)
Kazman is the third author. Is this the book mentioned in references?
Large-Scale Software Architecture
I've removed the following information since I fail to see why this particular book is important, there are tons of software architecture books, so why this one?
- Jeff Garland, Richard Anthony: Large-Scale Software Architecture : A Practical Guide using UML. Wiley 2003 ISBN 0-470-84849-9 (applies IEEE 1471 and UML to define a series of viewpoints useful for developing and documenting the architecture of large systems)
- Large Scale SW Architecture -- companion site to the book Large Scale Software Architecture (see above)

Structured Link
I've linked the "Structured" list item to "Structured System Analysis and Design". Somebody please check up on me, because I'm no expert on this topic.

Examples
The Examples don't distinguish between inter-application architectures (or systems using different processes, even computers, with inter-process communication), like peer-to-peer and client-server, and intra-application architectures. Seems like a significant architectural distinction worth highlighting, to me. In fact, why not consider the difference between inter-app and intra-app architectures in the article?
Relationship to other articles
What about something on the relationship between software architecture and software design? And software engineering? Is there a page on software development? Hmm, there is, but it redirects to software engineering. I don't like that. I think the whole computer software set of articles needs somewhat better organization. Brent 00:31:36, 2005-08-19 (UTC)
- I agree there should be something, but it's not entirely clear what yet. Under software development were you looking for something like software development process? --David.alex.lamb 22:09, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
