The content of this paper addresses the issues regarding the reference architecture design for different domains in the context of a system of systems that is specific to today’s embedded systems. The reference architecture contains core services of the domains included in abstract features package. The appropriate architectural style is provided by a knowledge base through service taxonomy. Se...

Software Architecture plays a key role in software development but absence of formal description of Software Architecture causes different impede in software development. To cope with these difficulties, ontology has been used as artifact. This paper proposes ontology for Software Architectural design based on IEEE model for architecture description and Kruchten 4+1 model for viewpoints classif...

One of the main issues with the activities related to modeling and improving business processes is the complexity of the current organizational structures. In many cases, an enterprise could improve its performance if it could align its processes to a specific architectural style, as this would facilitate the analysis tasks and the subsequent design of information systems. However, currently th...

Model quality is still an open issue, and a first step towards quality could be a style guide. A style guide is a set of rules aiming to help the developer improving models in many directions such as good practices, methodology, consistency, modeling or architectural style, conventions conformance etc. First, this paper attempts to clarify the meaning of notions being used such as rule or model...

A new breed of web application, dubbed AJAX, is emerging in response to a limited degree of interactivity in large-grain stateless Web interactions. At the heart of this new approach lies a single page interaction model that facilitates rich interactivity. Also push-based solutions from the distributed systems are being adopted on the web for AJAX applications. The field is, however, characteri...

This position paper discusses an architectural approach to managing decentralized space exploration missions. Developing control applications in this domain is complicated by more than just the challenging computing and communication constraints of space-based mission elements; future exploration missions will depend on ad-hoc cooperation between independent space agencies’ elements. Currently,...

to support multiple views in the sense of (Kruchten 1995). More specifically Darwin corresponds to a couple of Kruchten’s views: the behavioural view and the service view for the purpose of behavioural analysis and construction, respectively. Each view is an elaboration of the basic structural view (i.e., the skeleton upon which the flesh of behavioural specification is hung). 3.2.3.1 Architect...
