Abstract
Software architectures are designed to meet the needs of the applications t hat use them. With conventional architectures this is done by predicting th e average needs of the majority of the applications they support. In contra st, a compliant software architecture can accommodate the needs of a partic ular application. As the application evolves, its requirements change and t he supporting software components, if compliant, change accordingly to meet these new requirements.
