Just wondering if anyone's read Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture?
Or Software Architecture in Practice
Or anything else on top level component based architecture?

By 'top-level component based', I mean a system may get input via a web service component, and this service could either dispatch the message to another component directly, or it could use a queueing component to process it as it is able to, or store the data in a database so that another component such as a windows service could pick it up in its own time to process it, or some other method of moving through a system. What I don't mean is class or object design - but rather more of a top level, abstract view that would be designed primarily for scalability and reliability.

Cheers,
Eli

The POSA book is very well recommended.
There exist a POSA2 book since a couple of years as well, and I have heard that one should be good as well (have not read it myself)

The POSA book is on a higher level than the GOF book (Design Patterns, Gamma et. al.), and I think they complement each other good. Both the GOF and POSA books are good books to have around, I find myself often browsing in them.
