Concept

Applying the term “architecture” to software systems was originally a metaphor referring to the classical field of the architecture of buildings. The term “software architecture” is used to denote three concepts:

  • the high level structure of a software system
  • the discipline of creating such a high level structure
  • the documentation of this high level structure

Famous quotes containing the word concept:

    Jesus abolished the very concept of “guilt”Mhe denied any cleavage between God and man. He lived this unity of God and man as his “glad tidings” ... and not as a prerogative!
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    The concept of a mental state is primarily the concept of a state of the person apt for bringing about a certain sort of behaviour.
    David Malet Armstrong (b. 1926)

    The new concept of the child as equal and the new integration of children into adult life has helped bring about a gradual but certain erosion of these boundaries that once separated the world of children from the word of adults, boundaries that allowed adults to treat children differently than they treated other adults because they understood that children are different.
    Marie Winn (20th century)
