Abstract:

The tutorial examines the primary tasks that arise when developing large software projects involving hundreds of developers. The complexity of software is its essential and non—accidental property. The development technology is influenced by various factors, including design problems, the impact of economics, the impact of politics, and lack of imagination. Reducing the risks of reducing the success or even failure of large-scale developments is possible by using an architectural approach to software design based on defining global constraints imposed on system design, such as the choice of pr
