Description:
Domain Architectures describes and documents a number of recurring
patterns and models which emerge in real-life software projects. A domain
architecture is an archetype of a system designed to show functionality,
behaviour and structure traits. It provides a top down view of a system - which
has profound implications for system analysts, software developers and
architects. It can enable developers to borrow or learn from design solutions
that have worked in the same domain, and help to predict major system
requirements.
This book describes how to accommodate system requirements by integrating
them with one or more instances of a domain architecture. The artefacts of this
process can then be mapped to the popular POSA and GOF design patterns.
Described and documented using UML (incorporating UML 2.0) models and
meta-models, and concentrating on medium to large-scale systems, the domain
architectures described in this book will help software professionals to build a
stable architectural framework for high-quality systems.
The five domain architectures presented are:

Manufacturing (MAN)

Management and Information Systems (MIS)

Process Control and Real-Time (PCS)

Interactive and Access Control Systems (INT)

Access Control Systems (ACS)
Domain Architectures is a catalog or repository of proven solutions,
and is a handbook and a reference for software professionals using
object-oriented technology and UML to solve real-life problems.
