Core technical competencies may be composed of a number of core or key technologies. The competencies in turn can support product families, platforms, or core products, which then support individual products. These products may ultimately be found in a number of forms or shapes. For example, a key technology such as polymer characterization may support a competency in polymer synthesis and architecture, which in turn supports the platform of fluoropolymers and the product family of Teflon (DuPont) fluoropolymer resins that can be found as films, fibers, or in other forms. 

Microprocessor technology permitted these technical issues to be addressed in a cost-effec tive manner. In the mid-1970s, a process control architecture referred to as a distributed control system (DCS) was introduced and almost instantly became a commercial success. A DCS consists of some number of microprocessor-based nodes that are interconnec ted by a digital communications network, often called a data highway. The key features of this architecture are as follows ... 

As the data within the DCS are digital in nature, interfaces to upper level computers are technically easier to implement. Unfortunately, the proprietary nature of the communications networks within commercial DCS products complicate the implementation of such interfaces. Truly open DCS architectures, at least as the term open is used in the mainstream of computing, are not yet available.

Section 1.2 gives a brief review of conjugated polymers in semiconducting and metallic phases. Section 1.3 discusses device architectures and their corresponding processes. Section 1.4 introduces some novel devices and their functions in thin-film polymer devices. Section 1.5 is devoted to technical merits of SMOLEDs and PLEDs used as emitter elements in flat-panel displays. 

Directed actions may be implemented in CORBA, in COM, as method calls in an OO programming language, or as a set of calling conventions in some other style the directed actions are mapped based on technical architecture choices.20 There is still a dialog at some level (such as call and return), but this is set by the architecture and local conventions rather than being specific to the participants. 

Technical architecture The domain-independent pieces of middleware, databases, libraries, and so on that will be used in the implementation. This is documented with package diagrams and with collaborations. 

That said, we sometimes refer to a high-level partitioning structure as architecture, either technical architecture (having to do with underlying component technology, inde-... 

In practice, it is useful to distinguish the application architecture—how the business logic is split across components and how they interact—from the technical architecture all the infrastructure and other domain-independent pieces that support that collaboration. The four-tier Web-enabled architecture presents a typical case for making this distinction. 

It is useful to separate the application architecture from the infrastructure parts (which we will call the technical architecture). 

Hence, even though logical application architecture can be started early, it should piggyback on the physical and technical architecture to determine feasibility. 

The technical architecture includes all domain-independent design decisions, including the communication middleware that is used to enable communication between apphcation architectural components the patterns and rules that are followed in using the middleware all domain-independent libraries that may be needed to build the system and the rules for using them. The domain-independent facilities include the following ... 

Unfortunately, until component-based development becomes the norm and until project managers understand the economics of buying the kinds of domain-independent components described earlier, we will still be building many of them. If most of the elements of the technical architecture are already implemented, then estimating the development time for business functions becomes much less like a black art. 

Hence, you should implement the technical architecture as early as possible. Have all communication paths working—from user input and command-line parsing to the data... 

The basic constructs of type, collaboration, and refinement support all levels of specification, architecture, and implementation. However, we also pay explicit attention to specific levels of architectural design logical and physical database mapping, technical architecture (including client-server and multitier peer-to-peer architectures), and user-interface modeling. The case study touches only on some of these aspects. 

Partition technical and application architecture components and their connectors to meet design goals... 

The internal implementation of the system is split into two related parts the application architecture and the technical architecture. The main deliverables are described on the next page. 

The application architecture A package structure and collaborations. This implements the business logic itself as a collection of collaborating components, with the original specification types now split across different components. The components can range from custom-built to common off-the shelf components, such as spreadsheets, calendars, and contact managers, to purchased domain-specific components such as factory-floor schedulers. This application architecture lives atop, and uses, the technical architecture. 

The technical architecture Apackage structure (for static dependencies) and collaborations (across technology components, such as UI, business object servers, and databases). These cover all domain-independent parts of the system hardware and software platforms infrastructure components such as middleware and databases utilities for logging, exceptions, start-up, and shutdown design standards and tools and the choice of...
