PRINCIPLES AND APPROACHES FORMALLY COMPOSITION IN ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

Safe Architectural Design Principles

This report discusses architectures for safety-critical sysems. The report summarises the existing literature in the area as well as the guidance provided by existing safetycritical system development standards. We discuss the three constituent functions of fault tolerant architectures: error detection, damage assessment and confinement and error recovery. We also consider methods for fault pre...

Grading the Housing Design Principles based on Frequency in Evaluating Architectural Resources

One of the most important issues and human needs in the field of architectural design is "housing". From the past to the present, there have always been different principles for housing design that have been used due to the user’s needs. The set of needs and lifestyles of humans has shown that some characteristics are the same in all designed houses. These important features had been collected ...

Architectural Design Support for Composition & Superimposition

The ever growing size and complexity of software systems is making it increasingly harder to built systems that both meet current and future requirements. During architecture design, a lot of important design decisions are taken. In this paper, we present an architecture design notation based on UML's activity diagrams. The notation allows for the specification of architecture fragments and sup...

Principles and Design Rationale of Composition Filters

Formally analyzing software architectural specifications using SAM

In the past decade, software architecture has emerged as a major research area in software engineering. Many architecture description languages have been proposed and some analysis techniques have also been explored. In this paper, we present a graphical formal software architecture description model called software architecture model (SAM). SAM is a general software architecture development fr...
