This book illustrates the role of software architecture and its application in business. The author describes enterprise architecture along with business architecture to show the role of software architecture in both areas. The place of software architecture in business is outlined from many perspectives in this context. The book outlines quality attributes and how managers can use software architecture to build high quality products. Topics include business software architecture, dealing with qualities, achieving quality attributes, managing business qualities, software product line, Internet of Things (IOT), and Service Oriented Business Architecture. The book is intended to benefit students, researchers, software architects, and business architects. Provides quick and easy access to all the important aspects of software architecture in business;
Highlights a wide variety of concepts of software architecture in a straightforward manner, for students, practitioners, or architects;
Presents different applications of software architecture in business.


Dr. Lina Khalid received a master's degree in Computer Science in (2000) and a PhD. in Computer Science (2004) from The University of Technology, Iraq. Her academic experience includes working as an instructor in The University of Baghdad (1992-1995), an assistant professor at The University of Technology in Iraq (2001-2005), an assistant professor at Israa Private University in Jordan (2005-2007), and an assistant professor at Zarqa Private University in Jordan (2007-2015).  Dr. Lina has taught classes in Software Engineering, Software Architecture, Software Design, Economic of Software, Software Verification and Validation, Human Computer Interaction, Software Fault Tolerance, E-Commerce, System Analysis and Design, Programming in Visual Basic and C++ and database in addition to supervision of many undergraduate projects. Her research includes Software Requirement, Software Design, and Component-Based Software Engineering. She concentrates on building systems with a high level of quality. During the past 3 years, she has been focusing on Software Architecture and how to build high quality products through it.
