American Journal of Industrial and Business Management (AJIBM) is an international journal dedicated to publish high quality, original papers, and research developments in theories and applications in all areas of industrial and business management.
This article presents a model for describing the architecture of software-intensive systems, based on the useof multiple, concurrent views. This use of multiple views allows to address separately the concerns of thevarious ‘stakeholders’ of the architecture: end-user, developers, systems engineers, project managers, etc.,and to handle separately the functional and non functional requirements. Each of the five views is described,together with a notation to capture it. The views are designed using an architecture-centered, scenario-driven, iterative development process.

Software for constructing and reflecting on diagrams of one's ideas
Belvedere 4.1 is designed to help support problem-based collaborative learning scenarios with concept and evidence moodels, and provides multiple representational views (tables and graphs) on those models.
Belvedere was originally intended to help secondary school students learn critical inquiry skills that they can apply in everyday life as well as in science, but can be adopted to other applications as well.
