One aspect of large networks, such as the Internet, is the colossal amount of computation its nodes could perform if that computation were distributed efficiently. The Internet has already led to solving some problems, e.g., NP-complete problems, that were unlikely to have been solved on individual computers. However, the methods leading to those solutions disclosed inputs, algorithms, and outp...

cultural communications among nations consist of various subjects and architectural art styles are the most distinct and recognized subjects in this area of studding. the republic of dagestan in south of russian federation, not only from the past has cultural and historical relation with iran, but also ct located in the historical geography of cultural iran. this relationship was more due to th...

Software Product Lines (SPL), Component Based Software Engineering (CBSE) and Customer Off The Shelf (COTS) components provide a rich supporting base for creating software architectures. Further, they promise significant improvements in the quality of software configurations that can be composed from pre-built components. Software architectural styles provide a way for achieving a desired coher...

We present the tile style, an architectural style that allows the creation of distributed software systems for solving NP-complete problems on large public networks. The tile style preserves the privacy of the algorithm and data, tolerates faulty and malicious nodes, and scales well to leverage the size of the public network to accelerate the computation. We exploit the known property of NP-com...

Design style is an abstraction and reflection of human perception about features across products. It is of importance in art, architectural, fashion, and industrial design. This paper focuses on the understanding of shape style represented by form features and explores the influence of form features on a style by the topological structure and geometric variation. The relationship between the ge...

Software architectures are critical in the successful development and evolution of software-intensive systems. While formal and automated support for architectural descriptions has been widely addressed, their evolution is equally crucial, but significantly less well-understood and supported. In order to face a recurring evolution need, we introduce the concept of evolution pattern. It formalis...

One of the challenging problems for software developers is guaranteeing that a system as built is consistent with its architectural design. In this paper we describe a technique that uses run time observations about an executing system to construct an architectural view of the system. In this technique we develop mappings that exploit regularities in system implementation and architectural styl...

Large software systems often have complex subparts that engage in subtle relationships with the underlying technologies from which they are built. Consequently, many such systems have complex and interesting architectural properties that can only be understood in the context of the various phases of system construction. We consider that modelling and extracting build-time architectural views of...

The United States (US) healthcare organizations are continuously struggling to cope-up with evolving regulatory requirements e.g. Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001: 2015. These requirements are not only affecting the US healthcare industry but also other industries as well e.g. software indus...
