Robert Matthew (1906-1975) - Scottish modernist architect.
Although the term architecture is still used today in some communities to refer to the user view of a system, it isn't what is meant by software architecture, which refers to the structure of the system quite hidden from the user.
However, the notion of architecture as a common description of a class of systems -- i.e., an abstraction, where all the instantiations are said to exhibit the architecture -- endures, and is at the heart of the concept.
Work in software architecture can be seen as attempting to codify the commonality among members of a program family, so that the high-level design decisions inherent in each member of a program family need not be re-invented, re-validated, and re-described.
Effective use of architecture as a means to reduce and manage system complexity appears to depend rather heavily on the use of prescriptive architectures, that is, architectures that serve as specifications for system development and constrain developers with regard to certain important system issues.
Architectural views for a reference architecture will identify the external and component level interfaces by specific details where known and by abstractions where they are determined by target system elaboration.
The architecture must clearly derive from a set of driving architectural requirements that are adjudged by the architects and other stakeholders to be of sufficient importance to the system and its qualities that specific architectural mechanisms are required to insure their coverage.
