The Coming of Age of Software Architecture: A Historial View

I did this study for a Topics in Software Engineering course during the 1996 fall term. I interviewed six programmers, past and present, on how they used high level design or architecture in their work. I got a lot of historical information that was very interesting to me, and possibly to other young whippersnappers, but probably not to people in the field for any length of time. I have enough material to write another paper with a more contemporary focus which probably would have been closer to the original intent of the project.
