Architectural patterns(styles) are important artifacts containing specialized design knowledge to build good-quality systems. Complex systems often exhibit several architectural patterns in their design which leads to the need of architectural pattern composition. Unfortunately, information about the composition of patterns tend to be vaporized right after the composition process which causes p...

In China, with the development of the era, the Architectural Design (AD) education has been given the requirement that students should master creative thinking mode and design method. The teaching target of integrating the Information-Based Teaching (IBT) into Creative Thinking (CT) mode is analyzed, and the Teaching Mode (TM) of integrating the information-based teaching into architectural des...

We present a process to improve the structural quality of automatically acquired architectural 3D models. Common architectural features like orientations of walls are exploited. The location of these features is extracted by using a probabilistic technique (RANSAC). The relationships among the features are automatically obtained by labelling them using a semantic net of an architectural scene. ...

This paper presents experiences of verifying architectural design rules of the NASA Core Flight Software (CFS) product line implementation. The goal of the verification is to check whether the implementation is consistent with the CFS’ architectural rules derived from the developer’s guide. The results indicate that consistency checking helps a) identifying architecturally significant deviation...
