This paper explores the close relationship between feature-oriented and architectural styles of formal system description, and explains the formal methods needed to support descriptions in these styles. In the telecommunications domain, DFC is a successful example of a feature-oriented, architectural description technique. Although formal methods for DFC are in their infancy, there are already ...

In process of software architecture design, different decisions with system-wide impacts are made. An important decision of design stage is the selection of appropriate software architecture style. Since quantitative impacts of styles on quality attributes have not been studied yet, their application is not systematic. Since Reliability is one of the essential quality requirements of software s...

Architectural styles have enjoyed widespread popularity in the past few years, and for good reason: they represent the distilled wisdom of many experienced architects and guide less experienced architects in designing their architectures. However, architectural styles employ qualitative reasoning to motivate when and under what conditions they should be used. In this paper we present the concep...

cultural communications among nations consist of various subjects and architectural art styles are the most distinct and recognized subjects in this area of studding. the republic of dagestan in south of russian federation, not only from the past has cultural and historical relation with iran, but also ct located in the historical geography of cultural iran. this relationship was more due to th...

In this paper, we first identify key architectural properties related to quality aspect of web services architecture. Current web services architectural styles are then summarized. Finally, we give the evaluation analysis with evaluation analysis for web services architect.

A persistent problem in software engineering is the problem of software composition. The emergence of software architectures and architectural styles has focused attention on a new set of abstractions with which we can create and compose software systems. We examine the problem of providing a model for the composition of different architectural styles within software systems, i.e. the problem o...

Abstract This paper couples a traditional hedonic model with architectural style classifications from human experts and machine learning (ML) enabled classifiers to estimate sales price premia over styles, both at the building neighborhood-level. We find statistically economically significant differences for houses distinct styles across an array of specifications modeling assumptions. Comparis...

Software architects plan, model, and analyze the high-level design of software systems. Today, these systems are often deployed in cloud computing environments as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications. The scalability of these applications is crucially impacted by architects’ early design decisions. Architects decide based on their experience and known architectural styles like a 3-tier arc...

As the design of software architectures emerges as a discipline within software engineering, it becomes increasingly important to support architectural description and analysis with tools and environments. This paper provides a brief introduction to Aesop, a set of tools for developing architectural design environments that exploit architectural styles to guide software architects in producing ...

Software architecture is an essential early stage in the software design process. In this stage, the architect should give the quality attributes a special consideration because a good level of meeting these attributes can be performed by well-designed architecture. This means that there is a close relationship between quality attributes and software architecture. However, quality attributes ca...
