Ensuring General-purpose and Domain-specific Properties Using Architectural Styles
نویسنده
چکیده
The use of domain-specific languages and development tools, such as those found in product-line development kits, have been shown to reduce programming and debugging costs considerably. At the same time, general-purpose Commercial, Off-The-Shelf (COTS) tools are improving rapidly. Moreover, providing security, privacy, reliability, and other Quality of Service (QoS) properties normally has little to do with the specific problem domains in which they are applied. Here, based on the observation that an architecture itself is a composition mechanism, I advocate the use of software architecture styles to provide a composition mechanism that retains the benefits of both domain-specific and general-purpose approaches.

Toward Composit ion Of Style-Conformant Software Architectures
The codification of software architectural decisions made to address recurring software development challenges results in architectural styles. The primary benefit of architectural styles is that properties demonstrated at the level of a style are carried over into the software system architectures constructed using that style. However, in the absence of comprehensive techniques for checking co...

The backbone of many software architectures and component integration frameworks is an architectural style that provides a domain-specific design vocabulary and a set of constraints on how that vocabulary is used.

متن کاملSoftware Architectures and Embedded Systems
Software architecture has emerged as an area of intense research over the past decade [25,32]. A number of approaches have been proposed to deal with architectural description and analysis [21], architectural styles [8], domain-specific and application family architectures [4,35], architecturebased dynamic system adaptation [29], and so forth. By and large, however, these approaches share assum...
