Conceptual and design patterns can be used as guidelines for designing and implementing the elements or components of application software. Medium-sized to large systems need a structure beyond these “micro architectures,” but we cannot define the overall software architecture of a concrete application as it depends on the business logic of the domain at hand. We can, however, at least outline the structuring principles of an application built in line with the T&M approach.

This chapter describes these essential elements and features of what we call a model architecture for families of interactive application systems based on the T&M approach. This model architecture uses frameworks and components. Our model architecture ...
