Architecture Paradox (1750 words)
A 1996 technical report [1] from the Software Engineering Institute, in its introduction points out that software architecture is still a relatively immature area from both research and practice perspectives.
Note that architectures such as these, distributed (and layered) architectures such as COM or CORBA, or component based architectures such as MTS or EJB are generic and do not address the needs of the domain in which the software is to operate and evolve.
In general, software architecture is considered ([1], [2]) important as it serves as a means of mutual communication between the stake holders of the software, allows to capture early design decisions, and lets the architecture be reused for similar systems in the same domain.
