The Algebraic Structure of Interface De nition Languages and Architectures
In this paper we examine formally a notion of architecture for the design of systems. The basic idea is that: System Architecture = Structured set of (sub)-system interfaces. Thus, the architecture of a system is modelled by the structure of its interface expressed in terms of the interfaces for its components. We make an algebraic model of interface de nition languages (IDLs) based on this ide...

متن کاملA Formal Framework for specifying and Analyzing Liabilities Using Log as Digital Evidence. (Un cadre formel pour spécifier et analyser les responsabilités, basé sur les logs comme preuve électronique)
Despite the e ort made to de ne methods for the design of high quality software, experience shows that failures of IT systems due to software errors remain very common and one must admit that even critical systems are not immune from that type of errors. One of the reasons for this situation is that software requirements are generally hard to elicit precisely and it is often impossible to predi...

A solution to the problem of salvaging the past investments in centralised, mainframe-oriented software development, while keeping competitive in the dynamic business world, consists of migrating legacy systems towards more modern environments, in particular client±server platforms. However, a migration process entails costs and risks that depend on the characteristics of both the architecture ...
