Architecture framework: A guide/structured information that suggests artifacts to be created and their relationship with each other. Architecture methodology: An structured approach towards architecture. Methodologies were often defined and used to solve problems in an area. Architecture process: Steps to produce architecture description and architecture. Architecture taxonomy: A way to categorize and organize architecture artifacts. Architecture: Organization of a system, its components and their relationship (to each other and their environment). Guiding principles on which system will be structured and will evolve. |
