- If controllers are managing user interactions then what is meant by View sending user events to the controller? What is the difference between user events and user interactions?
- What is meant by that client-server architecture is suitable when the load on a system is variable? What would be the issue with a constant load?
- The author mentions how some people dislike block diagrams in architectural documentation. What are more rigorous ways that can replace them?
- Why do non-functional requirements have a greater impact on the architectural choices in a project?
- Is it logical to start the design of the system architecture before the requirements specification is complete?
- How can we reflect functional and non-functional requirements when architecting software systems?
- Are databases for transaction processing systems ever stored offline? Would storing a database offline ever be beneficial for security reasons?
- When a programming language like Python is processed by a language processing software system, how is this software eventually converted into machine code. Does this take longer to translate than a language like C++, and if so, why would Python be used instead of C++?
- Should UML be used to describe software architectures?
- How to decide when architectural requirements directly conflict? For example, if both performance and maintainability were important requirements, what would the architecture be?
- How do you strike an effective balance between performance and security when you’re limited by either hardware or computing resources?
- What is an example of a layered model?
- If a system is to make use of multiple different architectural patterns, would only the dominant one be represented, or would there be a separate model for each?
- How common are these architecture diagrams in requirements engineering for contracts?
- How could we apply architecture patterns to our projects?
- How do language translators account for things like grammar and sentence structure?
- What are real-life examples of repository data architecture used for major companies?
- Is pipe and filter system commonly used in real life?
- What are the distinctions between layered architecture and application architecture?
- What notations should architectural models be described with?
- How important is it that we have a solid architecture design at this time of the semester? For our projects, is it completely necessary that we have a design we will not change any time in the future?
- Are there specific architectures you would recommend for our project (web-based survey one) specifically?
- What is the baseline to decide what architecture would be the right one for your system?
- What is the key difference between client-server architecture and repository architecture? They both seem to have the common feature of having a central server/repository that the clients can access services from.
- What are the advantages and disadvantages of the repository architecture pattern?
- How can architectural views be represented?
- Why would Model-View-Controller method makes it more complex in terms of coding? And why just in more simple systems?
- From the Art Create team: Which system architecture pattern do you think our project would best fit into? (repository, client-server, or a mix of both?)
- What are the main points of architectural design we should worry about in each of our respective projects?
- Which architectural design is best for agile
