A nit pick: Harvard architecture and execute in place are completely mutually independent. A computing device can be one, the other, both or none.

Even separating storage and memory is independent of the two, giving you altogether 8 different combinations of how a computing device can be implemented. (Using these three parameters, that is. There are other parameters, each multiplying the number of options.)
