Ensuring the security requirements of an application is not a straightforward task. Security properties (e.g., confidentiality, anonymity) need to be satisfied in different ways in different parts of the same application. Software architects are usually required to manually define security components and their dependencies with the base application, customize them to the application’s requireme...

Drawing on ethnographic studies of (landscape) architects at work, and interdisciplinary cooperation with them, this paper presents a human-centered approach to information visualization. A 3D collaborative electronic workspace allows people to configure, save, and browse arrangements of heterogeneous work materials. A network of links between parts of documents and objects underpins this spati...

Most distributed system specifications have performance benchmark requirements. However, determining the likely performance of complex distributed system architectures during development is very challenging. We describe a system where software architects sketch an outline of their proposed system architecture at a high level of abstraction, including indicating client requests, server services,...

We take the position that novice architects without requirements education would benefit from such education for architecting purposes. While this knowledge might be intuitive among many, our position is based on an exploratory, empirical study involving a number of architecting teams, some with requirements education and others without, all architecting from the same set of requirements. The o...

This chapter presents an explicit approach, that is both theory and practice driven, to support evaluation and collaboration activities when creating enterprise architecture. The approach will be applicable in addressing evaluation and collaboration related aspects in two primary phases of the Architecture Development Method (ADM) of The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF). The phases of ...

In this paper we present an approach for supporting the semi-automated architectural abstraction of architectural models throughout the software lifecycle. It addresses the problem that the design and implementation of a software system often drift apart as software systems evolve, leading to architectural knowledge evaporation. Our approach provides concepts and tool support for the semiautoma...

Residential interiors (RIs) have been designed by anonymous designers throughout history and reflected their users’ identity, culture, habits until modern times, although design architecture courses rarely involve residential in curriculums. Therefore, decision-makers (architects, interior architects, designers, users) took them for granted. However, COVID-19 forced revisiting this approach tow...

Software architects struggle to choose an adequate architectural style for multi-tenant software systems. Bad choices result in poor performance, low scalability, limited flexibility, and obstruct software evolution. We present a comparison of 12 Multi-Tenant Architecture (MTA) patterns that supports architects in choosing the most suitable architectural pattern, using 17 assessment criteria. B...

Abstract The urban riverside space of Shanghai is transforming. How to renovate industrial heritage buildings renew their vitality while retaining historical memories and integrate them into the contemporary cityscape today’s lifestyle a common challenge encountered by architects. This article takes renovation Yong’an Warehouse as an example showcase typical conservation project’s design proces...

Актуальность статьи обусловлена тем, что в современном мире у молодежи есть много возможностей познавать мир через монитор компьютера или экран телефона, поэтому очень важно сформировать ВУЗах личностно-ориентированное обучение, учитывающее индивидуальные особенности каждого студента. Кроме того, важны культурологические знания. Они позволяют развиваться духовной сущности человека. Цель заключа...
