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:

    The nearer a conception comes towards finality, the nearer does the dynamic relation, out of which this concept has arisen, draw to a close. To know is to lose.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    The concept is interesting: to see, as though reflected
    In streaming windowpanes, the look of others through
    Their own eyes.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    the full analysis of the notions of saying something and understanding what one said inevitably involves a concept which, as I will show in detail, essentially corresponds to the Cartesian idea of thought.
    Zeno Vendler (b. 1921)
