Abstract

Inversion of control is a common design practise that has been used in various application areas. It gained popularity in the context of object-oriented application frameworks and designs based on abstract classes and interfaces. Recently, dependency injection techniques, especially in the context of lightweight containers such as Spring, have raised the attention for inversion of control again. However, inversion of control has not yet been described in its architectural dimension with a focus on layering architectures, and the pros and cons of the design decision for control inversion. In this paper, we present the inversion-of-control layer pattern which describes the design practise from an architectural point of view, rather than focusing on particular implementation techniques.

Recommendations

A typology based approach to assign responsibilities to software layers
PLoP '13: Proceedings of the 20th Conference on Pattern Languages of Programs

In software architecture, the Layers pattern is commonly used. When this pattern is applied, the responsibilities of a software system are divided over a number of layers and the dependencies between the layers are limited. This may result in benefits ...
Architectural Decisions as Reusable Design Assets

Architectural decisions are design decisions that are hard to make or costly to change. Hence, mature software engineering and architecture design methods emphasize the importance of architectural decision-making and capture. Capturing decisions after ...
Logical layering heuristic
PLoP '15: Proceedings of the 22nd Conference on Pattern Languages of Programs

There have been a large amount of publications on the subject of logical layering in software architecture. What is rarely discussed is the manner how a software architect can design a layering model that satisfies the requirements of the system.
