Dynamic Architecture: Structuring for Change

Abstract

Architecture is the structure by which a system is organized. Dynamic architectures facilitate change to occur in the architecture itself while the system is in use. For long-lived mission-critical systems, disrupting service in order to apply upgrades entails unacceptable delays and risks. Many other systems involve structures that intrinsically change, and this change must be described and modeled. The study of dynamic architectures has thus become increasingly important over the past decade.
