The software architecture of most systems is described informally and diagrammatically. In order for these descriptions to be meaningful at all, gures are understood by interpreti...
We show how the formal description language LOTOS can be used to de ne software architectures and how patterns over LOTOS can serve to characterize architectural styles. We charact...
As the design of software architectures emerges as a discipline within software engineering, it will become increasingly important to support architectural description and analysi...
The backbone of many software architectures and component integration frameworks is an architectural style that provides a domain-specific design vocabulary and a set of constrai...
Software patterns are generic solutions to recurring problems. They are represented as a triplet (problem, context, solution). Several kinds of software patterns were identified, ...
