Composition-Centered Architectural Pattern Description Language
نویسندگان
چکیده
Architectural patterns(styles) are important artifacts containing specialized design knowledge to build good-quality systems. Complex systems often exhibit several architectural patterns in their design which leads to the need of architectural pattern composition. Unfortunately, information about the composition of patterns tend to be vaporized right after the composition process which causes problems of traceability and reconstructability of patterns. This paper proposes a pattern description language that first, facilitates several types of pattern merging operation and second, allows the traceability of pattern composition. More specifically, the approach consists of a proper description of pattern that supports composition operations and a two-step pattern design process that helps preserve pattern composition information.

متن کاملA Formal Specification Language for the Description of Architectural Patterns in Software Systems
Software Architecture refers to the level of design in which a system is described as a collection of interconnected components. Most concepts in the object-oriented paradigm can be applied to Software Architecture, where the more general term componentoriented is preferred. However, object-oriented notations often fail to describe the interaction patterns that the components of a system must f...

In this paper, we introduce an architecture description language (ADL) for PCOMs (a context oriented component model). The language is described at three levels: (1) Building blocks (PCOMs context oriented components types) (2) Connectors, which connect components externally and internally, and (3) Architectural Configuration, which includes a full description of composition and decomposition m...

Security is becoming a more and more important concern for software architecture and software components. Previous modeling approaches provide insufficient support for an indepth treatment of security. This paper argues for a more comprehensive treatment of an important security aspect, access control, at the architecture level. Our approach models security subject, resource, privilege, safegua...
متن کاملA Pattern Language for Communication Protocols
In this paper, we suggest a pattern language, a collection of related design patterns, for the development of communication protocols with an emphasis on an SDL (Specification and Description Language) implementation. The patterns are grouped in two categories: structural patterns and behavioral patterns. The structural patterns are focused on the architectural aspects of communication protocol...
