Software Architecture is a key artifact in the software development process, as it provides a bridge between the requirements of the system-to-be and its final design. Architectural description is therefore a critical step, which can be assisted by the use of Architectural Styles. Styles make it possible to reuse architectural knowledge by providing guidelines for its description, and by constr...

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...

SOA and REST are the two main architectural styles used for distributed applications. Current SOA implementations use Web Services, which have a flexible service interface but lack resource structure. Current REST implementations use HTTP, with good structural support (through URIs) but fixed service interface, leading to a significant mismatch in modeling some application artifacts. In additio...

A central aspect of architectural design is the use of recurring organizational patterns and idioms| or architectural styles [GS93, PW92, MG92, GHJV94]. Examples include generic system organizations such as those based on data ow or layers, as well as speci c organizational structures such as the classical decomposition of a compiler, the OSI communication stack, and the MVC user interface para...

Over the past years, architectural aspects have been often defined as widely-scoped properties that naturally crosscut the boundaries of system components. This definition, however, neglects the concept of architectural style. Architectural styles prescribe different kinds of system decomposition and modularization by adopting distinct component and connector types. This position paper analyzes...

Building facade classification by architectural styles allows categorization of large databases of building images into semantic categories belonging to certain historic periods, regions and cultural influences. Image databases sorted by architectural styles permit effective and fast image search for the purposes of content-based image retrieval, 3D reconstruction, 3D city-modeling, virtual tou...
