Examples of Architectural Styles and Patterns
There are many common ways of designing computer software modules and their communications, among them:
- Blackboard
- Client–server model (2-tier, n-tier, cloud computing all use this model)
- Database-centric architecture (broad division can be made for programs which have database at its center and applications which don't have to rely on databases, E.g. desktop application programs, utility programs etc.)
- Distributed computing
- Event-driven architecture (Implicit invocation)
- Front end and back end
- Monolithic application
- Peer-to-peer
- Pipes and filters
- Plug-in (computing)
- Representational State Transfer
- Rule evaluation
- Search-oriented architecture
- Service-oriented architecture (A pure SOA implements a service for every data access point.)
- Shared nothing architecture
- Software componentry
- Space based architecture
- Structured (Module-based but usually monolithic within modules)
- Three-tier model (An architecture with Presentation, Business Logic and Database tiers)
