This is the recommended way to represent a software architecture.There may be other “precursor” architectures that are not in this format. The goal isto mature those architectural representations into the 4+1 view representation.In Architectural Analysis, you will concentrate on the Logical View. The other viewswill be addressed in later architecture modules:• The Logical View will be refined in the Identify Design Mechanisms, IdentifyDesign modules.• The Process View will be discussed in the Describe Run-time Architecturemodule.• The Deployment View will be discussed in the Describe Distribution module.• The Implementation View is developed during Implementation and is thusconsidered out of scope for this Analysis and Design course.5 - 6
