In this research work, the interest is directed towards evocation of innovative neo-architectural dynamics in Tunisian south-east territory, through an eco-integrative approach and production new eco-climatic architectural styles, based on natural cultural wealth authentic revolutionary, yet marginalized restricted, giving rise to reactions question that arises: “Is situation vernacular heritag...

Style is a broad term that could potentially refer to any features of a work, as well as a fluid concept that is subject to change and disagreement. A similarly flexible method of representing style is proposed based on the idea of an archetype, to which real designs can be compared, and tested with examples of architectural plans. Unlike a fixed, symbolic representation, both the measurements ...

Architectural mismatches are a recognized obstacle to successful software reuse. An architectural mismatch occurs when two or more software components are connected to form a system and those components make differing and incompatible assumptions about their interactions or the environment in which they exist. Mismatch detection and avoidance has been previously discussed in existing literature...

In the field of Semantic Web Services (SWS), the OWL-S and WSMF approaches provide us with ontology-based frameworks for WSDL web services. These description frameworks enable automation of high-level tasks such as discovery, invocation and composition of web services. In our work we focus on the software architectural aspects of ontology-enabled services to define an Ontologyenabled Service-Or...

Architectural settings occur in many virtual environments. Modeling such highly detailed structures manually is a time-consuming and tedious task. Therefore we propose a system for the rapid modeling of building façades. The designer just has to provide some coarse information, the building outline, its type and style and the computer takes care of creating the exact geometry. Adjacent architec...

Ozone Widget Framework (OWF) is an event-based web platform for lightweight integration of widget applications. This technical report presents a formal model of OWF’s widget composition mechanism. First, we present a detailed description of Ozone’s end user composition mechanism. Then, we describe our architectural modeling approach and its value for analysis of OWF widget compositions. We go t...

Representational State Transfer (REST), as an architectural style for distributed hypermedia systems, enables scalable operation of the World Wide Web (WWW) and is the foundation for its future evolution. However, although described over 10 years ago, no comprehensive formal model for representing RESTful systems exists. The lack of a formal model has hindered understanding of the REST architec...

Research into software architectures has traditionally addressed architecture description languages and architectural styles. The industrial focus is on middleware-based approaches to software architecture. Middleware is layered between applications and network operating systems and aims to resolve heterogeneity and distribution in a transparent way. We present an architectural style that integ...
