Predicting Architectural Styles from Component Specification
نویسندگان
چکیده
Software Product Lines (SPL), Component Based Software Engineering (CBSE) and Customer Off The Shelf (COTS) components provide a rich supporting base for creating software architectures. Further, they promise significant improvements in the quality of software configurations that can be composed from pre-built components. Software architectural styles provide a way for achieving a desired coherence for such componentbased architectures. This is because the different architectural styles enforce different quality attributes for a system. If the architectural style of an emergent system could be predicted in advance, a System Integrator could make necessary changes to ensure that the quality attributes dictated by the system requirements were satisfied before the actual system was deployed and tested. In this paper we propose a model for predicting architectural styles based on use cases that need to be met by a system configuration. Moreover, our technique can be used to determine stylistic conformance and hence indicate the presence or absence of architectural drift

متن کاملA pattern-based approach for information systems specification and developement
Patterns such as problem frames and architectural styles are used here to support the formal specification and the development of information systems. New problem frames specific to information systems are proposed to describe identified sub-problems and to help the formal specification task. Recomposition is achieved through a component based approach and an architectural style that puts toget...
متن کاملA New Algorithm for Performance Evaluation of Homogeneous Architectural Styles
Software architecture is considered one of the most important indices of software engineering today. Software Architecture is a technical description of a system indicating its component structures and their relationships, and is the principles and rules governing designing. The success of the software depends on whether the system can satisfy the quality attributes. One of the most critical as...

متن کاملInterface Negotiation and Efficient Reuse: A Relaxed Theory of the Component Object Model
Reconciling requirements for (1) the efficient integration of independently developed and evolving components and (2) the evolution of systems built from such components requires novel architectural styles, standards and idioms. Traditional object-oriented approaches have proven inadequate. Two important new mechanisms supporting integration and evolution are dynamic interface negotiation and a...
