Fundamental Design Terminology and Concepts
|
Introduction
Before we can begin exploring the details of service-oriented computing, we first need to establish some basic design terminology. The books in this series use a common vocabulary comprised of the following design-related terms:
- Design Characteristic
- Design Principle
- Design Paradigm
- Design Pattern
- Design Pattern Language
- Design Standard
- Best Practice
Depending on your sources, you will find differing definitions for these terms. More often than not, though, you will notice that they all are somewhat intertwined. The upcoming pages explain each term and the following figure illustrates how they inter-relate.
Figure: Fundamental design terms establish a basic taxonomy used throughout the upcoming chapters. This diagram hints at how some parts of a basic design framework can relate to each other.
