Abstract
In this chapter, we introduce the concept of software architecture and the SysADL architectural framework for describing, analyzing, and executing software architectures. We present the motivation for defining SysADL and describe the organization of the book for putting software architecture in action with SysADL. We introduce a running example to illustrate software architectures in action along the chapters of this book.
