The document discusses software architectural design. It defines architecture as the structure of a system's components, their relationships, and properties. An architectural design model is transferable across different systems. The architecture enables analysis of design requirements and consideration of alternatives early in development. It represents the system in an intellectually graspable way. Common architectural styles structure systems and their components in different ways, such as data-centered, data flow, and call-and-return styles.

Thus it covers Architectural Design
Architectural design is concerned with:
understanding how a software system should be organized and,
designing the overall structure of that system.
Architectural design is the critical link between design and requirements engineering, as it identifies the main structural components in a system and the relationships between them.
The output of the architectural design process is an architectural model that describes how the system is organized as a set of communicating components

Climate Science Flows: Enabling Petabyte-Scale Climate Analysis with the Eart...Globus
The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a global network of data servers that archives and distributes the planet’s largest collection of Earth system model output for thousands of climate and environmental scientists worldwide. Many of these petabyte-scale data archives are located in proximity to large high-performance computing (HPC) or cloud computing resources, but the primary workflow for data users consists of transferring data, and applying computations on a different system. As a part of the ESGF 2.0 US project (funded by the United States Department of Energy Office of Science), we developed pre-defined data workflows, which can be run on-demand, capable of applying many data reduction and data analysis to the large ESGF data archives, transferring only the resultant analysis (ex. visualizations, smaller data files). In this talk, we will showcase a few of these workflows, highlighting how Globus Flows can be used for petabyte-scale climate analysis.

Why React Native as a Strategic Advantage for Startup Innovation.pdfayushiqss
Do you know that React Native is being increasingly adopted by startups as well as big companies in the mobile app development industry? Big names like Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest have already integrated this robust open-source framework.
In fact, according to a report by Statista, the number of React Native developers has been steadily increasing over the years, reaching an estimated 1.9 million by the end of 2024. This means that the demand for this framework in the job market has been growing making it a valuable skill.
But what makes React Native so popular for mobile application development? It offers excellent cross-platform capabilities among other benefits. This way, with React Native, developers can write code once and run it on both iOS and Android devices thus saving time and resources leading to shorter development cycles hence faster time-to-market for your app.
Let’s take the example of a startup, which wanted to release their app on both iOS and Android at once. Through the use of React Native they managed to create an app and bring it into the market within a very short period. This helped them gain an advantage over their competitors because they had access to a large user base who were able to generate revenue quickly for them.

In software engineering, the right architecture is essential for robust, scalable platforms. Wix has undergone a pivotal shift from event sourcing to a CRUD-based model for its microservices. This talk will chart the course of this pivotal journey.
Event sourcing, which records state changes as immutable events, provided robust auditing and "time travel" debugging for Wix Stores' microservices. Despite its benefits, the complexity it introduced in state management slowed development. Wix responded by adopting a simpler, unified CRUD model. This talk will explore the challenges of event sourcing and the advantages of Wix's new "CRUD on steroids" approach, which streamlines API integration and domain event management while preserving data integrity and system resilience.
Participants will gain valuable insights into Wix's strategies for ensuring atomicity in database updates and event production, as well as caching, materialization, and performance optimization techniques within a distributed system.
Join us to discover how Wix has mastered the art of balancing simplicity and extensibility, and learn how the re-adoption of the modest CRUD has turbocharged their development velocity, resilience, and scalability in a high-growth environment.
Code reviews are vital for ensuring good code quality. They serve as one of our last lines of defense against bugs and subpar code reaching production.
Yet, they often turn into annoying tasks riddled with frustration, hostility, unclear feedback and lack of standards. How can we improve this crucial process?
In this session we will cover:
- The Art of Effective Code Reviews
- Streamlining the Review Process
- Elevating Reviews with Automated Tools
By the end of this presentation, you'll have the knowledge on how to organize and improve your code review proces
Providing Globus Services to Users of JASMIN for Environmental Data AnalysisGlobus
JASMIN is the UK’s high-performance data analysis platform for environmental science, operated by STFC on behalf of the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). In addition to its role in hosting the CEDA Archive (NERC’s long-term repository for climate, atmospheric science & Earth observation data in the UK), JASMIN provides a collaborative platform to a community of around 2,000 scientists in the UK and beyond, providing nearly 400 environmental science projects with working space, compute resources and tools to facilitate their work. High-performance data transfer into and out of JASMIN has always been a key feature, with many scientists bringing model outputs from supercomputers elsewhere in the UK, to analyse against observational or other model data in the CEDA Archive. A growing number of JASMIN users are now realising the benefits of using the Globus service to provide reliable and efficient data movement and other tasks in this and other contexts. Further use cases involve long-distance (intercontinental) transfers to and from JASMIN, and collecting results from a mobile atmospheric radar system, pushing data to JASMIN via a lightweight Globus deployment. We provide details of how Globus fits into our current infrastructure, our experience of the recent migration to GCSv5.4, and of our interest in developing use of the wider ecosystem of Globus services for the benefit of our user community.

2. Definitions
• The software architecture of a program or computing system is
the structure or structures of the system which comprise
– The software components
– The externally visible properties of those components
– The relationships among the components
• Software architectural design represents the structure of the
data and program components that are required to build a
computer-based system
• An architectural design model is transferable
– It can be applied to the design of other systems
– It represents a set of abstractions that enable software engineers to
describe architecture in predictable ways

5. Why is Architecture Important?
• Representations of software architecture are an enabler
for communication between all parties (stakeholders)
interested in the development of a computer-based system.
• The architecture highlights early design decisions that will
have a profound impact on all software engineering work
that follows and, as important, on the ultimate success of
the system as an operational entity.
• Architecture “constitutes a relatively small, intellectually
graspable mode of how the system is structured and how its
components work together”
6. Architectural Descriptions
• The IEEE Computer Society has proposed IEEE-Std-1471-2000,
Recommended Practice for Architectural Description of Software-
Intensive System, [IEE00]
– to establish a conceptual framework and vocabulary for use during the
design of software architecture,
– to provide detailed guidelines for representing an architectural description,
and
– to encourage sound architectural design practices.
• The IEEE Standard defines an architectural description (AD) as a “a
collection of products to document an architecture.”
– The description itself is represented using multiple views, where each view
is “a representation of a whole system from the perspective of a related set
of [stakeholder] concerns.”
7. Architectural Design Process
• Basic Steps
– Creation of the data design
– Derivation of one or more representations of the architectural
structure of the system
– Analysis of alternative architectural styles to choose the one best
suited to customer requirements and quality attributes
– Elaboration of the architecture based on the selected architectural
style
• A database designer creates the data architecture for a system
to represent the data components
• A system architect selects an appropriate architectural style
derived during system engineering and software requirements
analysis
8. Emphasis on Software
Components
• A software architecture enables a software engineer to
– Analyze the effectiveness of the design in meeting its stated
requirements
– Consider architectural alternatives at a stage when making
design changes is still relatively easy
– Reduce the risks associated with the construction of the
software
• Focus is placed on the software component
– A program module
– An object-oriented class
– A database
– Middleware
10. Purpose of Data Design
• Data design translates data objects defined as part of the
analysis model into
– Data structures at the software component level
– A possible database architecture at the application level
• It focuses on the representation of data structures that
are directly accessed by one or more software components
• The challenge is to store and retrieve the data in such way
that useful information can be extracted from the data
environment
• "Data quality is the difference between a data warehouse
and a data garbage dump"
11. Data Design Principles
• The systematic analysis principles that are applied to function and
behavior should also be applied to data
• All data structures and the operations to be performed on each one
should be identified
• A mechanism for defining the content of each data object should be
established and used to define both data and the operations applied
to it
• Low-level data design decisions should be deferred until late in the
design process
• The representation of a data structure should be known only to those
modules that must make direct use of the data contained within the
structure
• A library of useful data structures and the operations that may be
applied to them should be developed
• A software programming language should support the specification
and realization of abstract data types

• Data-centered architectures
• Data flow architectures
• Call and return architectures
• Object-oriented architectures
• Layered architectures
15. Software Architectural
Style
• The software that is built for computer-based systems
exhibit one of many architectural styles
• Each style describes a system category that encompasses
– A set of component types that perform a function required by
the system
– A set of connectors (subroutine call, remote procedure call,
data stream, socket) that enable communication, coordination,
and cooperation among components
– Semantic constraints that define how components can be
integrated to form the system
– A topological layout of the components indicating their runtime
interrelationships

19. Data Flow Style
• Has the goal of modifiability
• Characterized by viewing the system as a series of transformations on
successive pieces of input data
• Data enters the system and then flows through the components one at
a time until they are assigned to output or a data store
• Batch sequential style
– The processing steps are independent components
– Each step runs to completion before the next step begins
• Pipe-and-filter style
– Emphasizes the incremental transformation of data by successive
components
– The filters incrementally transform the data (entering and exiting via
streams)
– The filters use little contextual information and retain no state between
instantiations
– The pipes are stateless and simply exist to move data between filters
20. Data Flow Style (continued)
• Advantages
– Has a simplistic design in the limited ways in which the
components interact with the environment
– Consists of no more and no less than the construction of its parts
– Simplifies reuse and maintenance
– Is easily made into a parallel or distributed execution in order to
enhance system performance
• Disadvantages
– Implicitly encourages a batch mentality so interactive applications
are difficult to create in this style
– Ordering of filters can be difficult to maintain so the filters
cannot cooperatively interact to solve a problem
– Exhibits poor performance
• Filters typically force the least common denominator of data
representation (usually ASCII stream)
• Filter may need unlimited buffers if they cannot start producing
output until they receive all of the input
• Each filter operates as a separate process or procedure call, thus
incurring overhead in set-up and take-down time
21. Data Flow Style (continued)
• Use this style when it makes sense to view your system as one
that produces a well-defined easily identified output
– The output should be a direct result of sequentially transforming
a well-defined easily identified input in a time-independent
fashion
23. Call-and-Return Style
• Has the goal of modifiability and scalability
• Has been the dominant architecture since the start of software
development
• Main program and subroutine style
– Decomposes a program hierarchically into small pieces (i.e., modules)
– Typically has a single thread of control that travels through various
components in the hierarchy
• Remote procedure call style
– Consists of main program and subroutine style of system that is
decomposed into parts that are resident on computers connected via
a network
– Strives to increase performance by distributing the computations
and taking advantage of multiple processors
– Incurs a finite communication time between subroutine call and
response
24. Call-and-Return Style (continued)
• Object-oriented or abstract data type system
– Emphasizes the bundling of data and how to manipulate and access data
– Keeps the internal data representation hidden and allows access to the
object only through provided operations
– Permits inheritance and polymorphism
• Layered system
– Assigns components to layers in order to control inter-component
interaction
– Only allows a layer to communicate with its immediate neighbor
– Assigns core functionality such as hardware interfacing or system kernel
operations to the lowest layer
– Builds each successive layer on its predecessor, hiding the lower layer
and providing services for the upper layer
– Is compromised by layer bridging that skips one or more layers to
improve runtime performance
• Use this style when the order of computation is fixed, when
interfaces are specific, and when components can make no useful
progress while awaiting the results of request to other components

28. Architectural Patterns
• Concurrency—applications must handle multiple tasks in a manner that simulates
parallelism
– operating system process management pattern
– task scheduler pattern
• Persistence—Data persists if it survives past the execution of the process that
created it. Two patterns are common:
– a database management system pattern that applies the storage and retrieval
capability of a DBMS to the application architecture
– an application level persistence pattern that builds persistence features into the
application architecture
• Distribution— the manner in which systems or components within systems
communicate with one another in a distributed environment
– A broker acts as a ‘middle-man’ between the client component and a server component.
29. Architectural Design
• The software must be placed into context
– the design should define the external entities (other systems,
devices, people) that the software interacts with and the nature of
the interaction
• A set of architectural archetypes should be identified
– An archetype is an abstraction (similar to a class) that represents
one element of system behavior
• The designer specifies the structure of the system by
defining and refining software components that implement
each archetype

35. Architectural Complexity
• the overall complexity of a proposed architecture is
assessed by considering the dependencies between
components within the architecture [Zha98]
– Sharing dependencies represent dependence relationships among
consumers who use the same resource or producers who produce for
the same consumers.
– Flow dependencies represent dependence relationships between
producers and consumers of resources.
– Constrained dependencies represent constraints on the relative flow
of control among a set of activities.
36. ADL
• Architectural description language (ADL) provides
a semantics and syntax for describing a software
architecture
• Provide the designer with the ability to:
– decompose architectural components
– compose individual components into larger architectural
blocks and
– represent interfaces (connection mechanisms) between
components.

40. Horizontal Partitioning
• define separate branches of the module
hierarchy for each major function
• use control modules to coordinate
communication between functions

41. Vertical Partitioning: Factoring
• design so that decision making and work
are stratified
• decision making modules should reside
at the top of the architecture
decision-makers
workers
42. Why Partitioned Architecture?
• results in software that is easier to test
• leads to software that is easier to maintain
• results in propagation of fewer side effects
• results in software that is easier to extend
43. Structured Design
• objective: to derive a program architecture that is
partitioned
• approach:
– a DFD is mapped into a program architecture
– the PSPEC and STD are used to indicate the content of
each module
• notation: structure chart

discussion see the

46. General Mapping Approach
• Isolate the transform center by specifying incoming and
outgoing flow boundaries
• Perform "first-level factoring.”
– The program architecture derived using this mapping results in a
top-down distribution of control.
– Factoring leads to a program structure in which top-level
components perform decision-making and low-level components
perform most input, computation, and output work.
– Middle-level components perform some control and do moderate
amounts of work.
• Perform "second-level factoring."
