Design models

The document outlines key design concepts in software development, including abstraction, modularity, and information hiding, as well as various design models such as data, architectural, interface, component-level, and deployment design elements. Each design element is described in terms of its purpose and structure, emphasizing the importance of data modeling, architectural layout, interface communication, and component functionality. The document also highlights the role of UML in representing these design elements visually.

Design Concept

• Abstraction
• Pattern
• Modularity
• Information Hiding
• Refinement
Design models
Elements of design models
• Data Design element
• Architecture Design element
• Interface Design element
• Component- level Design element
• Deployment-Level Design element
Data Design element

• Creates models of data and information that is represented at


high level of abstraction (customer and user view of data).
• The data model is refined progressively more implementation
that can be processed by computer specific representation.
• The structure of data very important part of software design.
• Architectural level data design focuses on data files and
databases.
• Component level data designs consider the data structure
and algorithms required to manipulate high applications.
• Application level translation of data models into databases.
• At business level the collection of information stored in disparate
databases and reorganized into data warehouse
Architectural Design element

• Architectural design for software is equivalent to the floor


plan of house .the floor plan depicts the overall layout of the
rooms ,their size ,shapes and relationship to one another
• It gives overall view of the software.
• It is derived from 3 sources
• Information about application domain for the software to be built.
• Specific analysis model elements such as DFD or analysis classes, their relationship
and collaborations for the problem.
• The availability of architectural pattern
Interface Design element

• The interface design for software is equivalent to set of


detailed drawing and specification.
• Tells how software information flow into and out of the
system and how it is communicated among the component
defined as part of architecture.
• 3 important elements of interface
• The user interface
• External Interface to other system,devices,network or
other producers or consumers of information
• Internal interfaces between various design components.
UML Interface representation for control panel
Component level design models
• It defines data structures for all local data objects and algorithmic detail for all
processing that occur within a component and an interface that allows access to any
component operations.
• In below figure Component SensorManagement (part of Safehome security
functions ) is represented.
• A dashed arrow connect the component to class named Sensor that is assigned to it.
• SensorManagement component performs all functions associated with Safehome
sensor including monitoring and configuring them .
• The design details of component can be modeled at many different level of abstraction.
• An activity diagram can be used to represent processing logic.
• An procedural flow for component can be used to either pseudo code or programming
language like representation.

Deployment Design element

• Indicates how software functionality and subsystem will be


allocated within physical computing environments that will
support the software
