The "4+1 View model" is a conceptual model used in software engineering, particularly within the context of the Rational Unified Process (RUP) and other Unified Process methodologies. It provides a way to describe and visualize the architecture of a software system from different perspectives. The model consists of five views:

1. 
   

   
   Logical View (Use Case View):
   

   
   
   
   
   • 
     This view focuses on the functionality provided by the system from the user's perspective.
     
   
   
   • 
     It describes the system's responsibilities and the interactions between the system and its users or other external systems.
     
   
   
   • 
     Use cases are typically used to illustrate this view.
     
   
   
   
   


2. 
   

   
   Development View (Implementation View):
   

   
   
   
   
   • 
     This view is concerned with the software's implementation and the organization of the code.
     
   
   
   • 
     It includes information about the software's modules, components, classes, and their relationships.
     
   
   
   • 
     It also addresses the technology and frameworks used in the development.
     
   
   
   
   


3. 
   

   
   Process View:
   

   
   
   
   
   • 
     This view describes the dynamic aspects of the system, such as the processes, threads, and tasks that make up the system's runtime behavior.
     
   
   
   • 
     It illustrates how different parts of the system interact and communicate with each other during execution.
     
   
   
   
   


4. 
   

   
   Physical View (Deployment View):
   

   
   
   
   
   • 
     This view is concerned with the system's deployment and the physical architecture of the hardware and network.
     
   
   
   • 
     It shows how the software components are distributed across different hardware and nodes, including servers, clients, and network infrastructure.
     
   
   
   
   


5. 
   

   
   Scenarios:
   

   
   
   
   
   • 
     The "+1" in the 4+1 View model refers to scenarios, which are used to illustrate the use of the system from different perspectives.
     
   
   
   • 
     Scenarios can include use case scenarios, logical scenarios, development scenarios, process scenarios, and deployment scenarios.
     
   
   
   • 
     They provide a narrative or visual representation of how the system is used and how different components interact in specific situations.
     
   
   
   
   

The 4+1 View model helps architects and developers to understand and communicate the system's architecture in a structured and comprehensive manner, ensuring that all aspects of the system are considered and documented.
