RoyF's work on Architecture Meta models

Chapter 1 of RoyF's thesis talks about software architecture -

For example, a great definition of architecture is provided "A software
architecture is defined by a configuration of architectural
elements--components, connectors, and data--constrained in their
relationships in order to achieve a desired set of architectural
properties."

On the "ilities" or properties of architectures are dsicussed in section 2 -

I can't resist being cheeky and point out that these are the first 2
chapters of Roy's thesis, which has been listed as recommended reading for
some time.

Cheers,
