Shaped Hierarchical Architectural Design

Shaped Hierarchical Architectural Design

The architectural design of systems deals with the high level structuring of configurations. Checking that a system belongs to an architectural style (or shape) implies that the architecture is an instance of a structurally defined class. On the other side, hierarchies allow modeling at different levels of detail: subsystems may be represented as single components to abstract structure and beha...

Hierarchical Speci cation and Veri cation of Architectural Design Patterns

Architectural design patterns capture architectural design experience and provide abstract solutions to recurring architectural design problems. Their description is usually expressed informally and it is not veri ed whether the proposed speci cation indeed solves the original design problem. As a consequence, an architect cannot fully rely on the speci cation when implementing a pattern to sol...

From architectural requirements to architectural design

Symmetry for Architectural Design

Symmetry and regularity abound in architectural models, often as a result of economical, manufacturing, functional, or aesthetic considerations. We show how recent work on symmetry detection and structure discovery can be utilized to analyze architectural designs and real-world artifacts digitized using 3D scanning technology. This allows reverse engineering of procedural models that facilitate...

Architectural Design of E1

Modern distributed operating systems provide users with transparent access to all resources of the computer network by means of distributed object abstraction. The access reliability and efficiency of such systems are determined by the internal implementation of the given abstraction. The existing architectures are based either on the centralized storage of the object state in one of network no...
