PLEASE HELP!!!! And answer completley

1. If a software design is not a program (and it isn't), then what is it?

2. How do we assess the quality of a software design?

3. Using the architecture of a house or building as a metaphor, draw comparisons with software architecture. How are the disciplines of classical architecture and the software architecture similar? How do they differ?

4. Present two or three examples of applications for each of the architectural styles noted in Section 13.3.1 (A Brief Taxonomy of Architectural Styles)

5. The department of public works for a large city has decide to develop a Web-based pothole tracking and repair system (PHTRS).

A description follows: "Citizens can log onto a website and report the location and severity of potholes. As potholes are reported they are logged within a "public works department repair system" and are assigned an identifying number, stored by street address, size (on a scale of 1 to 10), location (middle, curb, etc.), district (determined from street address), and repair priority (determined from the size of the pothole).

Work order data are associated with each pothole and includes pothole location and size, repair crew identifying number, number of people on crew, equipment assigned, hours applied to repair, hole status (work in progress, repaired, temporary repair, not repaired), amount of filler material used and cost of repair (computed from hours applied, number of people, material and equipment used).

Finally, a damage file is created to hold information about reported damage due to the pothole and includes citizen's name, address, phone number, type of damage, dollar amount of damage. PHTRS is an on-line system.

All queries are to be made interactively." Use the design approach described in chapter 13 (Archiectural design) to develop a software architecture for the PHTRS.
