To maintain and understand large applications, it is crucial to know their architecture. The first problem is that unlike classes and packages, architecture is not explicitly rep...
Many languages for software architectures have been proposed, each dealing with different stakeholder concerns, operating at different levels of abstraction and with different deg...
The influence of architecture in assurance of system safety is being increasingly recognised in mission-critical software applications. Nevertheless, most architectural strategies...
With the spread of the Internet and software evolution in complex intensive systems, software architecture often need be reconfigured during runtime to adapt variable environments...
This paper discusses an approach for top-down composition of software architectures. First, an architecture is derived that addresses functional requirements only. This architectu...
