This book focuses on software architecture and the value of architecture in the development of long-lived, mission-critical, trustworthy software-systems. The author introduces and demonstrates the powerful strategy of ¿Managed Evolution,¿ along with the engineering best practice known as ¿Principle-based Architecting.¿ The book examines in detail architecture principles for e.g., Business Value, Changeability, Resilience, and Dependability.
The author argues that the software development community has a strong responsibility to produce and operate useful, dependable, and trustworthy software. Software should at the same time provide business value and guarantee many quality-of-service properties, including security, safety, performance, and integrity. As Dr. Furrer states, ¿Producing dependable software is a balancing act between investing in the implementation of business functionality and investing in the quality-of-service properties of the software-systems.¿
The book presents extensive coverage of such concepts as:
Principle-Based Architecting

Managed Evolution Strategy

The Future

Principles for Business Value

Legacy Software Modernization/Migration

Architecture Principles for Changeability

Architecture Principles for Resilience

Architecture Principles for Dependability




The text is supplemented with numerous figures, tables, examples and illustrative quotations. Future-Proof Software-Systems provides a set of good engineering practices, devised for integration into most software development processes dedicated to the creation of software-systems that incorporate Managed Evolution.
