This book presents a systematic model-based approach for software architecture according to three complementary viewpoints: structure, behavior, and execution. It covers a unified modeling approach and consolidates theory and practice with well-established learning outcomes. The authors cover the fundamentals of software architecture description and presents SysADL, a specialization of the OMG Standard Systems Modeling Language (SysML) with the aim of bringing together the expressive power of an Architecture Description Language (ADL) with a standard notation, widely accepted by industry and compliant with the ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010 Standard on Architecture Description in Systems and Software Engineering.
The book is clearly structured in four parts:
The first part focuses on the fundamentals of software architecture, exploring the concepts and constructs for modeling software architecture from differing viewpoints. Each chapter covers a specific viewpoint illustrated with examples of a real system.

“There are many books about topics and disciplines in Information Technology. But most books concentrate on a single area. This book is an exception – it looks at three disciplines and ties them together. Excellent idea. Congratulations to Koray for putting this book together, and also for his generosity in donating profits to schools.”
— Dorothy Graham, Best-selling Author
“Koray does a great job of using clever, insightful metaphors to illustrate concepts. He writes in an accessible, easy-to-read style. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I did.”
— Rex Black, Best-selling Author
“In his book Koray uses two phrases again and again. The first is “Quality is not tested, but built.” The other phrase is “… should first be handled as a people issue rather than a technology issue.” To those in the IT world who need an understanding of these principles, I recommend this book.”
— Lee Copeland, Best-selling Author

With this book, Onn Shehory and Arnon Sturm, together with further contributors, introduce the reader to various facets of agent-oriented software engineering (AOSE). They provide a selected collection of state-of-the-art findings, which combines research from information systems, artificial intelligence, distributed systems and software engineering and covers essential development aspects of agent-based systems.The book chapters are organized into five parts. The first part introduces the AOSE domain in general, including introduction to agents and the peculiarities of software engineering for developing MAS. The second part describes general aspects of AOSE, like architectural models, design patterns and communication. Next, part three discusses AOSE methodologies and associated research directions and elaborates on Prometheus, O-MaSE and INGENIAS. Part four then addresses agent-oriented programming languages. Finally, the fifth part presents studies related to the implementation of agents and multi-agent systems.The book not only provides a comprehensive review of design approaches for specifying agent-based systems, but also covers implementation aspects such as communication, standards and tools and environments for developing agent-based systems. It is thus of interest to researchers, practitioners and students who are interested in exploring the agent paradigm for developing software systems.

As information technologies become increasingly distributed and accessible to larger number of people and as commercial and government organizations are challenged to scale their applications and services to larger market shares, while reducing costs, there is demand for software methodologies and appli- tions to provide the following features: Richer application end-to-end functionality; Reduction of human involvement in the design and deployment of the software; Flexibility of software behaviour; and Reuse and composition of existing software applications and systems in novel or adaptive ways. When designing new distributed software systems, the above broad requi- ments and their translation into implementations are typically addressed by partial complementarities and overlapping technologies and this situation gives rise to significant software engineering challenges. Some of the challenges that may arise are: determining the components that the distributed applications should contain, organizing the application components, and determining the assumptions that one needs to make in order to implement distributed scalable and flexible applications, etc.

- QUICKEN WILLMAKER & TRUST 2024 IS THE EASIEST WAY TO CREATE YOUR ESTATE PLAN — Whether you are just getting started or you want to update previous arrangements. This powerful software guides you through the process from beginning to end, giving you practical and legal information to make the best decisions for you and your family.
- WILLS ARE THE HEART OF EVERY ESTATE PLAN — also known as a last will and testament. This legal document puts you in control of who inherits your property and who would take care of your children if it were ever necessary. Without a will, state law determines these issues. You can organize your important documents including your Will & Trust for your loved ones in Everplans, an online digital secure vault, the perfect companion to WillMaker. Available on Amazon: Search ASIN # B0C3DNGBLX.
- LIVING TRUSTS HELP YOUR ESTATE AVOID PROBATE — Like a will, a living trust distributes property to the people you name after you die. But unlike a will, property that passes through a living trust can be passed directly to your beneficiaries, without waiting for court approval — saving your beneficiaries time and money. Quicken WillMaker & Trust includes individual living trusts, shared living trust (for couples), trust revocations, and certifications of trust.
- HOME AND PERSONAL FINANCE FORMS — Quicken WillMaker & Trust also includes dozens of simple forms for you and your family to use when need them. For example, you can make a Childcare Agreement, Authorization to Drive a Motor Vehicle, Housesitting Instructions, General Bill of Sale, and several others.
- TRANSFER ON DEATH DEEDS — Use the Quicken WillMaker & Trust transfer on death deeds to transfer your home to your beneficiaries when you die, without probate. Before your death, you still own the property, and you can revoke the deed (or make a new one) at any time. Like living trusts, transfer on death deeds keep the property out of probate. Like wills, they are simple to make, revise, and revoke.
- HEALTH CARE DIRECTIVES — Health Care Directives allow you to lay out your wishes for medical care (living will) and name someone to carry out your instructions (power of attorney for health care). The health care directives you make with Quicken WillMaker & Trust provide guidance for your loved ones if you are not able to make medical decisions for yourself. Making your wishes known (and legally binding) can spare your loved ones uncertainty and conflict during a difficult time.
- DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY FOR FINANCES — A durable power of attorney ensures that someone you trust (called your ”agent” or ”attorney-in-fact”) will be on hand to manage the practical, financial tasks that will arise if you become incapacitated. For example, bills must be paid, bank deposits must be made, and someone must manage insurance and benefits paperwork. In most cases, a durable power of attorney for finances is the best way to take care of tasks like these.
- FINAL ARRANGEMENTS & LETTERS TO SURVIVORS — Ease the burden on your loved ones by leaving clear descriptions about your preferences for burial, cremation, memorials, obituaries, and more. Use the Letter to Survivors to leave your loved ones detailed explanations about your decisions. For example, you may want to let them know why you made certain gifts or named a particular person to be your executor. You can also use your letter to leave general thoughts about your life.
