Designing the elements of a system such as the architecture, modules and interfaces is a critical process that will make the difference between a long-lived successful product, and one that is destined for quick replacement.

In this seminar we will learn what exactly software architecture is, how it is different from software code design, and discover the design methodologies, technologies and toolsets that exist to help deal with understanding, creating, and modifying system architecture.

The emphasis will be on network-based enterprise-scale distributed architectures. The topics will be presented in a broad high-level style.
