Architectural Styles as Adaptors 1
نویسندگان
چکیده
The essence of architectural styles is component communication. In this paper, we relate architectural styles to adaptors in the GenVoca model of software construction. GenVoca components are refinements that have a wide range of implementations, from binaries to rule-sets of program transformation systems. We explain that architectural styles can (1) be understood as refinements (like other GenVoca components) and (2) that they are generalizations of the OO concept of adaptors. By implementing adaptors as program transformations, complex architectural styles can be realized in GenVoca that simply could not be expressed using less powerful implementation techniques (e.g., object adaptors). Examples from avionics are given.

Distilling Software Architectural Primitives from Architectural Styles
Architectural styles codify commonly used idioms in system structures, organizations, and interactions. Existing classifications of architectural styles provide empirical guidelines for style selection, but fail to systematically characterize styles or reveal their foundations. Moreover, the mapping between architectural styles and their implementations is generally poorly understood. This pape...
متن کاملAnother Look at Architectural Styles and ADAGE 1 UT - ADAGE - 95 - 02
The relationship of architectural styles and ADAGE was explored in previous reports, and extensions to GenVoca to support architectural styles were proposed. In this report, we present a new way of achieving architectural style customization within GenVoca and show that there is a straightforward implementation of these ideas. The contribution of our work is that the basic GenVoca concepts, nam...
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 کاملAlfa: A framework for composing software architectures from architectural primitives
Architectural styles represent composition patterns and constraints at the software architectural level and are targeted at families of systems with shared characteristics. They enable architectural reuse and hence can bring economy to architecture-based software development. Existing research on architectural styles provides little guidance for the systematic design and construction of archite...
متن کاملArchitectural Styles for Distribution
This paper highlights the problem of describing the software architecture of a distributed system, and introduces the Architectural Styles proposed by Shaw&Garlan as a possible solution. Using a pattern template, it explores four major styles for distribution architecture: Host-Terminal, Client-Server, Broadcast Data and Batch Communication. Introduction One major problem we find in building la...
