Redefining architectural styles during the imposed war in Iran with approach of identifying traditional buildings (Case study; body prominent buildings)

In this paper, we address the refinement of abstract architectural models into more platform-specific representations. For each level of abstraction, we employ an architectural style covering structural restrictions on component configurations as well as supported communication and reconfiguration operations. Architectural styles are formalized as graph transformation systems with graph transfo...

This paper proposes architectural styles for multi-agent systems (MAS) which adopt concepts from organization theory and strategic alliances. These styles are socio-intentional in the sense that they consist of actors who have goals to fulfil and social dependencies describing their obligations. They are represented in i*, a framework designed to model social and intentional primitives and form...

The PhD project described here devises an architecture development method called MIDARCH for selecting a middleware platform in Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) and migration projects. The method uses a taxonomy of middleware platforms based on the architectural styles that are induced by middleware platforms (MINT Styles). The choice of a style is based on extra-functional properties o...

This paper proposes architectural styles for multi-agent systems (MAS) which adopt concepts from organization theory and strategic alliances. In particular, we discuss here the structure-in-5 and joint venture styles. These structures consist of actors who have goals to fulfill and social dependencies describing their obligations. They are represented in i*, a framework designed to model social...

We focus on the problem of developing robotic architectures which are well-suited to supporting runtime evolution, rather than specific evolution techniques. Based on the insights provided by current robotic architectures, we elaborate on their characteristics and how well they support the quality of evolvability. Combined with insights from architectural styles developed by the software engine...

As a new computing paradigm, cloud computing has received a lot of attention from enterprises and has being integrated or applied to enterprise architectures. This paper surveys the state of the art of enterprise cloud service architectures. Specifically, this paper discusses enterprise cloud service architectural requirements, design approaches, architectural styles, emerging cloud service pla...

This paper shows how Z can be used as a substrate for an architectural style description language. The language provides a collection of abstract software types that support the description of execution and interface semantics, logical views, and relationships between logical views. The software types correspond to application-invariant Z schemas, which provide a type-theoretic basis for the la...

Building software applications by composing cloud services promises many benefits such as flexibility and scalability. However, it leads to major challenges like increased complexity, fragility and changes during operations that are unknown in development phase. These rapidly changing applications require communication and collaboration between software developers and operators as well as stron...

Web services allow the components of applications to be highly decentralized, dynamically reconfigurable. Moreover, Web services can interoperate easily inside an heterogeneous network environment. The vast majority of current available verification environments have been built by sticking to traditional architectural styles. Hence, they are centralized and none of them deal with interoperabili...
