There is an emerging consensus that an explicit architectural model would be invaluable for large evolving software systems, providing them with a framework within which such a system can be reasoned about and maintained. But the great promise of architectural models has not been fulfilled so far, due to a gap between the model and the system it purports to describe. It is our contention that t...

This document addresses the issues of the discovery of URN (Uniform Resource Name) resolver services that in turn will directly translate URNs into URLs (Uniform Resource Locators) and URCs (Uniform Resource Characteristics). The document falls into three major parts, the assumptions underlying the work, the guidelines in order to be a viable Resolver Discovery Service or RDS, and a framework f...

Software architecture is considered one of the most important indices of software engineering today. Software Architecture is a technical description of a system indicating its component structures and their relationships, and is the principles and rules governing designing. The success of the software depends on whether the system can satisfy the quality attributes. One of the most critical as...

The narrative motive is the search for new principles of architectural design in paradigm shaping, development techniques and methods constructing "plastic objects". thesis need to focus on supported. text contains original statements architects, theorists, critics related antithesis "formula-principle". article presents student works illustrating principle "matryoshka", which, our version, an ...

uture space missions are expected to increase both in their duration and crew population, therefore further advancement in the design understanding of internal and external systems of space habitats is critical. To combat the detrimental effects of long-duration space flights and habitation within enclosed, isolated and confined environments, it is vital that space accommodation is designed to...

Modular-functional decomposition is a fundamental tenet of Computer Science. Cognitive Robotics, with strong roots in Cognitive Science and Biology, replaces modularfunctional decomposition with a more opportunistic approach. Nonetheless, we can extract heuristics with both analytic and synthetic power: architectural principles for neo-modular systems. This paper describes three neo-modular pri...
