Overview

The text will provide a comprehensive and pragmatic introduction and advanced reference to the context, definition realization of technical architecture in information and database technology. Covering nearly the full spectrum of architectural concern, we also illustrate and concretize the notion of traceability from business goals, strategy through to technical architecture, providing the reader with a holistic and commanding view.
