The relationship of architectural styles and ADAGE was explored in previous reports, and extensions to GenVoca to support architectural styles were proposed. In this report, we present a new way of achieving architectural style customization within GenVoca and show that there is a straightforward implementation of these ideas. The contribution of our work is that the basic GenVoca concepts, nam...

Adaptive systems should be able to adapt to changes that occur in their operating environment without any external human intervention. Software architectures for such systems should be flexible enough to allow components to change their pattern of collaboration depending on the environmental changes and goals of the system, without changing the actual components themselves. This paper describes...

In this paper we show how software architectural styles can be used to guide object-oriented design. Design guidance is important as the initial phases of software design signiicantly impact software quality. We use two diierent architectural styles to guide the design process from a formal speciication to a design. Software architectural styles assist by providing a diierent level of reuse tha...

Since the architecture of a software system constrains the non-functional requirements, the decisions taken during architectural design have a large impact in the resulting system. An architectural design method is presented that employs iterative evaluation and transformation of the software architecture in order to satisfy the nonfunctional requirements (NFRs). Architecture evaluation is perf...

Software architectures are multi-dimensional entities that can be fully understood only when viewed and analyzed at four different levels of abstraction: (1) internal functionality of a component, (2) the interface(s) exported by the component to the rest of the system, (3) interconnection of architectural elements in an architecture, and (4) rules of the architectural style. This paper present...

Software systems that integrate a set of concurrent and possibly distributed components are becoming increasingly common. One architectural style that is often used in such systems is implicit invocation[1, 2]. In this style, a component communicates and passes control by announcing events, and these events are multicast to a set of consuming components that perform actions in response to event...

The aim of this paper is to review the created problems and failure of environmental design patterns in designing process by designers. Not respectfully addressing the context of environment during designing process have resulted in the loss quality of environment, damage to both nature and essence of environment as manifested in the case study area. Methodology of the research was based on the...

D eveloping and using various component forms as building blocks can significantly enhance software-based system development and use, which is why both the academic and commercial sectors have shown interest in component-based software development. Indeed, much effort has been devoted to defining and describing the terms and concepts involved. Briefly, we describe software components as units o...

REST is a software architectural style used for the design of highly scalable web applications. Interest in REST has grown rapidly over the past decade, spurred by the growth of open web APIs. On the other hand, there is also considerable confusion surrounding REST: many examples of supposedly RESTful APIs violate key REST constraints. We show that the constraints of REST and of RESTful HTTP ca...

Rehabilitation and management of pre-industrial architectural heritage over time has played a central role in the international scientific debate since 1970s. In light experience gained this field, challenge controlled consistent integration Renewable Energy Sources (RES) requires careful reflection on compatibility criteria between new technologies traditional building’s identity. Several thes...
