Chapter 1: The problem
IT architecture = is a solution to the problem “How do I structure my IT applications to best suit my
business?”. An architecture identifies the components of a problem space, shows the relationships
among them and defines technology, rules and constraints on the relationships and components.
Typical architecture figure 1-4. Environment three parts: presentation, application and data.
Middleware = Software that is necessary in practice to build distributed applications. An important
characteristic is it can work over a network (but not necessarily does at all times!) Eight elements to
