 Chapter 1 introduces the concept of architectural style in general and its potential in the IT field. Analogies and examples are used from other industries to explain the significant advantages attainable through an IT architectural style. It also defines IT architectural style and its design—its structure, models, principles, and relationships—and the application of a style in reality-scale situations.Chapter 2 provides an overview and roadmap of the Convergent Architecture as an IT architectural style. It describes how the concepts and design from Chapter 1 are applied in the Convergent Architecture. It also presents the anatomy and the big picture of the Convergent Architecture, introducing each stylistic feature and its advantages in real-world projects. Each feature is then detailed in the remaining chapters of the book. Chapter 3 justifies and defines the Convergent Architecture metamodel. This toplevel feature of the Convergent Architecture composes the long-term vision and fundamental design principles of the architectural style. Chapter 4 presents the Convergent Component metamodel as a prime vehicle of the architecture. This is the first of three design models that visibly transport the principles from Chapter 3 into real-world modeling styles, techniques, tools, and automated infrastructure mappings. It defines the application of MDA and an architectural tool suite (the architectural IDE) in the context of an architectural style. Chapter 5 outlines the IT organization model and its application of the RUP. This model constitutes a concrete reference frame for the business of building IT systems in the context of an architectural style. It defines the organization, workers, roles, tools, and interactions of all stakeholders in the Convergent Architecture. Chapter 6 presents the Development-Process model, which complements the IT organization model. This detailed development process constitutes an applied instance of the RUP and its architectural tool support in the context of the architectural style. Chapter 7 illustrates the integrated architectural tool suite and how it supports the architectural style as defined in Chapters 1 through 6—how it supports the component, organization, and process models of the Convergent Architecture. The tool suite, known as an architectural IDE, is described in detail. The chapter exhibits how the concepts of MDA and the Convergent Architecture are applied using an available architectural IDE (ArcStyler) that embeds and drives best-ofbreed component tools such as Rational Rose, JBuilder, and diverse J2EE/EJB application servers in the context of the architectural style. Chapter 8 is a tutorial that applies the concepts of the Convergent Architecture in an end-to-end example using the architectural IDE. It exhibits each step of the model-driven development process from the initial business design through to the generation, deployment, and testing of J2EE/EJB components, including their Web services and Web front-ends.
