Analysis of quality dependencies in the composition of software architectures

چکیده
A dependable system has to meet some quality criteria in order to provide certain reliance on its operation. The quality of a system depends on the complex composition of the quality of its subsystems. Specifications of non-functional properties are commonly used to describe provided quality, required quality, resource usage and resource availability. Enclosing these specifications along with architectural models allows performing preliminary quality assessments (design-phase analysis). We allow configuration choices for quality specifications to represent design choices, deployment choices, or component adaptability. We focus on a composition study that answers to: is it possible to meet system and subsystem requirements given provided qualities? and, which configuration allows satisfying the requirements? The contributions of this work are: i) to formalize the composition based on quality levels and constraints, ii) to analyze existing quality dependencies in such a composition, iii) to show how we represent and evaluate dependencies in a model-driven en-

Change Impact Analysis of Crosscutting in Software Architectural Design
Software architectures should be amenable to changes in user requirements and implementation technology. The analysis of the impact of these changes can be based on traceability of architectural design elements. Design elements have dependencies with other software artifacts but also evolve in time. Crosscutting dependencies may have a strong influence on modifiability of software architectures...
متن کاملAutomatic composition of software systems from components with anonymous dependencies
In this paper, we discuss a way of composing a system from components where the dependencies between the components are not explicitly known. We make observations based on our experience with defining and implementing a composition mechanism for layered architectures. We propose a manner of specifying component descriptions to express anonymous dependencies between the components, an applicatio...
