Consistent Reconfiguration for Publish/Subscribe Architecture Styles

This paper addresses the dynamic aspect of Publish/Subscribe architectures. We propose an integrated formal approach for the specification and verification of reconfigurations over the topology of Publish/Subscribe architecture styles. We integrate a functional approach and a structural approach based on graph grammars. The purpose is to express dynamism while offering a simple specification wh...

A Quantitative Evaluation of Maintainability of Software Architecture Styles

Proper decisions play a crucial role in any software architecture design process. An important decision of design stage is the selection of a suitable software architecture style. Lack of investigation on the quantitative impact of architecture styles on software quality attributes is the main problem in using such styles. Consequently, the use of architecture styles in designing is based on th...

Architecture for Open Distributed Software Systems

Distributed applications consist of discrete software components which are spread across multiple systems. The interaction between these components constitutes distributed processing. If the discrete components are capable of exhibiting " openness " , then the interaction between them can be characterized as open distributed processing. In an ideal open distributed system, it should be possible...

Object-oriented Software Architecture for Distributed Systems

In this paper we present a distributed software architecture that integrates the communication and processing capabilities of heterogeneous devices in a networked computing environment. The proposed architecture provides a framework for a location-transparent implementation, operation, and maintenance of real-time control applications as well as more specialized services like location control f...
