"Case Studies in Software Architecture" Pre-release Edition.

This was released during Satyam Arch-Conf-2005 (Architecture Conference) on 24th June 2005.

This book introduces various concepts of software architecture using case studies. The main focus is on concepts and theories that work in the real world rather than all the brilliant theories and popular literature available on the subject. The four major aspects of software architecture presented in this book are: Need and role of software architecture, Process of refining and re-factoring software architecture, Process and techniques of evaluating software architecture, Process of moving from software architecture to detailed design. This book is being published by Pearson Education and is expected to be available in the market by the end of the year.
