Body Challenges – Between Architectural Scale Models and Architectural Objects

Using Architectural Models at Runtime: Research Challenges

Recognition and Modeling of Architectural Objects from Architectural CAD Drawings

Recently in the eld of building CAD, research and development in CAD and data sharing among CAD tools has introduced object-oriented technology. This technology has brought object-oriented CAD tools that allow users to designing buildings by means of architectural objects and the standard data speci cation IFC (Industry Foundation Classes), which is involved in the architectural CALS (Commerce ...

Architectural Support for Mobile Objects in Large Scale Distributed Systems

The paper discusses the relevant features of an object support system that provides basic facilities for building flexible distributed applications in environments where objects can be mobile and occasional failures (node crashes, real or virtual network partitions) are possible. These facilities are for naming, locating and invoking objects, persistence and garbage collection. One of the key f...

Checking consistency between architectural models using SPIN

Requirements and Software Architectures are strictly related but only a little attention has been paid to their integration. What we propose in this paper is an approach to i) trace coordination requirements from their definition to the low level specification and ii) validate the architectural dynamic model with respect to these coordination requirements.

Supporting Consistency between Architectural Design Decisions and Component Models through Reusable Architectural Knowledge Transformations

In recent years, the software architecture community has proposed to use architectural design decisions (ADDs) for capturing the design rationale and the architectural knowledge (AK). As software systems evolve both ADDs and architectural designs need to be documented and maintained. This is a tedious and time-consuming task because of the lack of systematic and automated support for bridging b...
