چکیده

We take the position that it could prove worth to reconcile ideas of the knowledge representation and software architecture research communities. Many existing knowledge representation techniques and formalisms seem to exhibit a lot of potential for representing different aspects of software architectures. To illustrate our case, we show how the theory of conceptual graphs could be a useful candidate to describe software architectures, to model architectural styles and patterns, and to serve as a formal foundation for compliance checking of architectures to architectural styles, as well as for checking conformance of the implementation of a software system to its architecture. Topics addressed: architecture description languages, formal foundations, architectural styles.

A Joint Semantic Vector Representation Model for Text Clustering and Classification

Text clustering and classification are two main tasks of text mining. Feature selection plays the key role in the quality of the clustering and classification results. Although word-based features such as term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) vectors have been widely used in different applications, their shortcoming in capturing semantic concepts of text motivated researches to use...

Meta Architecting: Towered a New Generation of Architecture Description Languages

The techniques of meta-modeling and meta-levels have become a mature concept and have been largely used to solve real problems in programming languages, distributed environments, knowledge representation, or data bases. In this article it is shown how the same techniques can be applied in component-based software architecture. It also shown the need to propose mechanisms of reflexivity within t...

Ontology-Based Composition and Transformation for Model-Driven Service Architecture

Building service-based architectures has become a major area of interest since the advent of Web services. Modelling these architectures is a central activity. Model-driven architecture is a recent approach to developing software systems based on the idea of making models the central artifacts for design representation, analysis, and code generation. We propose an ontology-based composition and...

Considering Uncertainty in Modeling Historical Knowledge

Simplifying and structuring qualitatively complex knowledge, quantifying it in a certain way to make it reusable and easily accessible are all aspects that are not new to historians. Computer science is currently approaching a solution to some of these problems, or at least making it easier to work with historical data. In this paper, we propose a historical knowledge representation model takin...
