The architect is the author of the solution, accountable for its success or failure.' He is viewed by customers and developers alike as a technical expert. McBride writes, 'a software architect is a technically competent system-level thinker, guiding planned and efficient design processes to bring a system into existence. Even to date there is still no agreement on the precise definition of the term “software architecture”. That seems kind of scary, and you might wonder why? Well, the role of the software architect has neither been widely understood, nor his necessity been acknowledged. When you build your house, you would never think about building it without an architect, correct? However, many medium to large size software projects are built without a software architect.

Len Bass was awarded the Software Development Magazine's Jolt Productivity Award twice in 19. Since 2011, he has been Senior Principal Researcher at NICTA (National ICT Australia). In 1986, he moved to the Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, where he started as head of the user-interface software group, and later focused on the analysis of software architectures. degree in Computer Science from Purdue University in 1970 under the supervision of Paul Ruel Young with the thesis, entitled 'Hierarchies based on computational complexity and irregularities of class determining measured sets.' īass was appointed Professor of Computer Science at the University of Rhode Island in 1970.
