Middleware technologies change so rapidly that designers must adapt existing software architectures to incorporate new emerging ones. This paper proposes an architectural pattern and guidelines to abstract the communication barrier whereby allowing the developer to concentrate on the application logic. We demonstrate our approach and the feasibility of easily upgrading the middleware infrastruc...

In software architecting process, architects use architectural patterns as reusable architectural knowledge for architectural synthesis. However, it has been observed that the resulting architecture does not always conform to the initial architectural patterns employed. Architectural synthesis using architectural patterns is also recognized as a challenging task, especially for novice architect...

In this paper we examine emerging ways to describe and structure learning material, learning tasks and learning situations. In particular, we consider three different approaches, looking at common issues and differences in emphasis. The approaches are: learning patterns [1], inspired by the architectural patterns of Alexander [2]; learning design, as described in the IMS Learning Design specifi...

A new software architectural model for the archival of slide-based presentations on the Internet is proposed. This architecture is based on the concept of the “lecture object,” a persistent format, independent of the lecture production and viewing technology. The work has been undertaken in the context of the Web Lecture Archive Project, a collaboration of the CERN HR Division Training and Deve...

The focus of this paper is the implementation of web-based data platforms for CAAD research and education. This review is based on three case studies that use different software environments for the creation of the specified data platforms: eCAADe/FileMakerdatabases, ACADIA/CAMEO-WebObjects environment and SciX/WODA-language.

When designing a secure software architecture, the architect must take possible evolution of the system and its environment into account. Inevitably, during the lifetime of the application, changes will occur that reduce the security of the system. It is crucial that these changes are anticipated, and that they can be accomodated with minimal impact on the architecture. This report introduces t...

This paper introduces the concept of cognition-based CAAD. Protocol analysis and a content-oriented coding scheme are utilised to produce cognitive results of designers’ behaviour. This empirical analysis suggests that the speed of thought and vagueness among actions are the main areas to be supported by any cognition-based CAAD system. Three different modes of design thinking are presented as ...

An Activity Parallelism Architectural Pattern for Parallel Programming Jorge L. Ortega-Arjona Departamento de Matemáticas, Facultad de Ciencias, UNAM México, D.F. 01000, México [email protected] Abstract The Shared Resource pattern is an architectural pattern for parallel programming used when a design problem can be understood in terms of activity parallelism. This pattern proposes a solu...

We construct the manifestly gauge invariant effective Lagrangian in 3 + 1 dimensions describing the Standard Model in 4 + 1 dimensions, following the transverse lattice technique. We incorporate split generation fermions and we explore naturalness for two Higgs configurations: a universal Higgs VEV, common to each transverse brane, and a local Higgs VEV centered on a single brane with discrete ...
