Entity–control–boundary: Origin and evolution, Relation to other architectural patterns & Overview

The entity–control–boundary (ECB), or entity–boundary–control (EBC), or boundary–control–entity (BCE) is an architectural pattern used in use-case–driven object-oriented programming that structures the classes composing high-level object-oriented source code according to their responsibilities in the use-case realization.
