From Viewpoints and Abstraction Levels in Software Engineering Towards Multi-Viewpoints/Multi-Hierarchy in Software Architecture
نویسندگان
چکیده
Viewpoints concept could be considered one of the major concepts introduced in the software engineering domain in order to enhance the architectural organization of complex systems by separating its concerns. Despite his ultimate importance, this concept must be evolved and hierarchized in order to allow the jump of software architectures field from its current range of complexity coverage and resolution to a new range more secure, more standardized and more appropriate with the current industrial needs. This paper begins with a survey of the role and usage of the viewpoints, and the hierarchy definition by abstraction levels concepts. Then presents a small but complete analysis of the related works and their limitations, in order to conclude with a proposition of current work on a multi-viewpoints and multi-abstraction levels software architecture.

متن کاملConsistency in Multi-Viewpoint Architectural Design of Enterprise Information Systems
Different stakeholders in the design of an enterprise information system have their own view on that design. To help produce a coherent design this paper presents a framework that aids in specifying relations between such views. To help produce a consistent design the framework also aids in specifying consistency rules that apply to the view relations and in checking the consistency according t...

This paper presents a knowledge management experiment carried out in an industrial company. Our research concerns the development of a knowledge engineering module integrated in a PLM system which is based on a multi-domain scheme (project, product, process and use) taking into consideration several viewpoints (structural, functional, dynamic, etc.). This PLM system enables us to capture techni...
متن کاملQuality-Driven Architecture Design Method
In this paper we introduce a quality-driven architecture design (QAD) method with three phases: system analysis, conceptual architecture design and design of a concrete architecture. Architecture design phases produce an aspect of software architecture at two different levels of abstraction. System analysis provides a bigger picture of the software system and its properties. Conceptual architec...
