Software Architecture 101
Before we dive into energy efficiency intricacies, understanding the fundamental principles of software architecture is crucial. Analogous to a building’s blueprint, software architecture outlines a system’s structure and design, guiding its development and evolution [1].
The concept of software architecture traces back to the pioneering work of Edsger Dijkstra in 1968 and David Parnas in the early 1970s, emphasizing the significance of a system’s structure. By the 1990s, efforts to define the discipline focused on architectural styles, description languages, and documentation, marking the industry’s move toward standardized practices. As discussed in Chapter 2, patterns are viewed as repeatable strategies that address common challenges, embodying best practices across the industry [2].
