Abstract

Processes and techniques for the development of enterprise software are best served when infused with practical experience. Pragmatic reflection on what works and what doesn't is critical to enable successful adoption of any process. One aspect of developing software intensive systems is that of architecture description. A very popular approach to software architecture description is the 4+1 Views of Architecture [1]. From practical experience applying this framework, this paper discuses an amplification of the 4+1 Views approach - the "3+1 Views of Architecture - in 3D. It is also compliant with the best practices described within the international standard IEEE 1471 - Recommended Practice for Architectural Description of Software Intensive Systems [2].
