this paper seeks to document the specific structural patterns of bit hilanis architecture which were in used in the ancient near east from the second to the first millennium b.c. the recognition of bit hilanis architectural characteristics as well as their provenances and their spread from anatoly to palestine have always remained the important issues to be addressed by art historians and archa...

Architectural design and design decisions are the key components of architectural knowledge. However, concerns, rationales, and risks should be also captured to prevent knowledge vaporization. So, how to deal with architectural knowledge in incremental knowledge refinement? We believe that usage of the knowledge repository system can support architecture evolution. In this paper, a model of kno...

This article investigates aspects in the context of the incremental software development, i.e. software product lines. Specifically, we propose the integration of aspects into AHEAD, an architectural model for feature-based product line development. We introduce the notion of aspect refinement based on Aspectual Mixin Layers, a novel technique for implementing features. Aspect refinement enable...

Service-oriented architecture is a recent paradigm for architectural design. The software engineering aspects in this context, that have not been sufficiently addressed, are software evolution and software migration. Architectures are of great importance if large software systems change. Architectural transformations can guide and make this change controllable. In this paper, we present a model...

The conceptual modelling of software architectures is of central importance for the quality of a software system. A rich modelling language is required to integrate the different aspects of architecture modelling, such as architectural styles, structural and behavioural modelling, into a coherent framework. Architectural styles are often neglected in software architectures. We propose an ontolo...

As the modeling of the architectural system is difficult and inaccurate, the 3D modeling of the light in the architectural system is studied by using Java3D technology. Using java3D perspective projection technique, the observation coordinate system is determined, and real-time viewpoint setting as well as roaming processing is realized. Through multiple view technique, we can observe the movem...

This paper presents various aspects, which characterise the traditional architecture in the town of Florina, north-western Greece, and can be related to bioclimatic and environmental architecture. The study is based on the documentation and the analysis of the architectural and bioclimatic aspects of a sample of forty (40) remaining houses of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. The ...

A good software architecture is becoming recognized as a major factor for successful products. There has been much research on the technical aspects of software architecture and it is recognized that the driving requirements for architectures are "non-functional", but few have studied how organizations decide on architectural changes. In this paper we study the topic through several case studie...

abstract the decisions and personal preferences of the designer are vital for all aspects and stages of the design. to elaborate, the designer has the central role in creation, development, detailing and construction of the built forms. also, the scientific/engineering evaluations of the design models are carried out under the directions and decisions of the designer. the paper explores the con...
