Describing a Top-Down Architectural Style: the PARSE Process Graph Notation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The ASDL language represents a formal methodology for modeling the software architectural styles that are used to develop complex computer systems. In previous work, ASDL has been used to model a coarse-grain dataflow style used for large-scale signal processing applications. This style incorporates a bottom-up design methodology. In this paper, the expressiveness of ASDL is demonstrated by its use to model a architectural style for parallel and distributed systems that incorporates a top-down design methodology. The ASDL model provides a valuable basis for understanding the style and for posing questions to its developers.

Style-Based Reconfigurations of Software Architectures with QoS Constraints
We present Architectural Design Rewriting (ADR), a graphbased approach to deal with the design of reconfigurable software architectures. The key features we promote are: (i) hierarchical design; (ii) soft constraints for modeling QoS attributes; (iii) style-preserving reconfigurations; (iv) rule-based approach; and (v) algebraic presentation. Roughly, actual architectures are modeled by graphs ...
متن کاملAnalyzing and Re ning an Architectural Style
Architectural styles have been introduced in 1] in order to classify and analyze software architectures. In that paper, Z was used as a notation to specify and study architectural styles, however some problems remained open concerning speciication and analysis of their behavioral properties. In this paper we use a new operational semantics to describe and analyze an architectural style for dist...

We introduce Architectural Design Rewriting (ADR), an approach to deal with the design of reconfigurable software architectures. The key features we promote are: (i) rule-based approach (over graphs); (ii) hierarchical design; (iii) algebraic presentation; and (iv) inductivelydefined reconfigurations. Architectures are suitably modeled by graphs whose edges and nodes respectively represent comp...

The term software architectural style has recently been introduced to refer to the conventions that are used to interpret a description of a software architecture. The representation and analysis of useful architectural styles is an important problem. This paper gives an overview of a methodology developed by the authors for describing the syntax and semantics of software architectural styles w...
متن کاملOn the chordality of polynomial sets in triangular decomposition in top-down style
In this paper the chordal graph structures of polynomial sets appearing in triangular decomposition in top-down style are studied when the input polynomial set to decompose has a chordal associated graph. In particular, we prove that the associated graph of one specific triangular set computed in any algorithm for triangular decomposition in top-down style is a subgraph of the chordal graph of ...
