Focuses on four paradigms - design patterns, components, software architectures, and framework to show logical and physical relationships among software models. This work emphasizes reusability of both concrete and abstract design concepts.

This book focuses on four paradigms - design patterns, components, software architectures, and framework to show logical and physical relationships among software models. It emphasizes reusability of both concrete and abstract design concepts. It focuses on providing a structure for understanding the model (the hierarchy of paradigms), presenting material to ground the reader in the basics and some of the issues, and showing the relationship between the different paradigms.
