Where does architecture end and technology begin?

چکیده

Over the last several years, the software architecture community has reached significant consensus about what we mean by architecture; what differentiates architecture from design; the role that architecture plays in the development of products and product lines; and how we can analyze architectures to anticipate development problems. One area where some confusion remains is differentiating an architecture from the technologies and products necessary to make that architecture viable. A good example of that is CORBA the Common Object Request Broker Architecture. CORBA is a combination of architectural style, architecture, technology and product. Adopting CORBA has profound implications on the architecture of a software system, and involves a significant amount of technology insertion. The success of a given project depends on understanding what it takes to develop CORBA-based applications as well as experience and knowledge of the capabilities of specific ORBs. Architecture evaluation approaches, while helpful in assessing the goodness of CORBA-the architecture, don’t address the technology risk involved in adopting CORBA-the technology or CORBA-the product. This is not a CORBA-unique issue: it applies equally to a large number of architectural approaches that involve new and emerging technologies (e.g. DCOM, Java, XML ). This paper attempts to explore this issue more fully, hopefully providing some insights into where architecture ends and technology begins.
