Abstract. In software architecture, components represent the computational units of a system and connectors represent the interactions among those units. Making decisions about the...
Abstract. To formally describe architectures of software systems, specific languages called Architecture Description Languages (ADLs) have been developed by academic institutions a...
Because it takes time and trust to establish agreement, traditional consensus-based architectural styles cannot safely accommodate resources that change faster than it takes to tr...
We provide an algebraic formalisation of connectors in BIP. These are used to structure interactions in a component-based system. A connector relates a set of typed ports. Types a...
Building a system at the architectural level can be thought of as decomposition into components followed by a series of exercises in matching. Components must be composed with eac...
