Augmenting Software Architectures with Physical Components

چکیده
This paper presents an extension of existing software architecture tools to model physical systems, their interconnections, and the interactions between physical and cyber components. We introduce a new cyber-physical system (CPS) architectural style to support the construction of architectural descriptions of complete systems and to serve as the reference context for analysis and evaluation of design alternatives using existing model-based tools. The implementation of the CPS architectural style in AcmeStudio includes behavioral annotations on components and connectors using either finite state processes (FSP) or linear hybrid automata (LHA) with plug-ins to perform behavior analysis. The application of the CPS architectural style is illustrated for the STARMAC quadrotor.

Issues in the Runtime Modification of Software Architectures
Existing software architecture research has focused on static architectures, where the system architecture is not expected to change during system execution. We argue that the architectures of many systems, especially long running or mission critical systems, evolve during execution, and thus cannot be accurately modeled and analyzed using static architectures. To overcome these problems, we pr...
متن کاملConcepts For Developing Component-based Systems
Increasing the productivity of software system development and augmenting the flexibility of software systems to react to business process changes has become a dominant concern for companies competing in the global marketplace. Taking their clues from traditional production techniques, IT systems should be constructed from prefabricated, easily marketable components that can be widely reused. A...
متن کاملPosition Paper for NSF CPS Workshop: Component-Based Cyber-Physical Systems
Cyber-physical systems are globally virtual and locally physical in that manipulation of the physical world occurs locally but control and observability are enabled safely and securely across a virtual network. The architectures for cyber-physical systems must enable realization of this key characteristic. In addition, cyber-physical systems are inherently domain-specific due to their close tie...

A distributed system is composed of a number of elements, the most important of which are software components, processing nodes and networks. Some of these elements can be specified as part of a distributed system’s design, while others are given (i.e., they have to be accepted as they are). Typically when building a distributed system, the software is under the designer’s control. Depending on...
متن کاملProduct - Line Architectures
Today’s software design methodologies are aimed at one-of-a-kind applications, designs are expressed in terms of objects and classes, and software must be coded manually. We argue that future software development will be very different and will center around product-line architectures (i.e., designs for families of related applications), refinements (a generalization of today’s components), and...
