Architecture-centric software generation has the potential to support flexible design and large-scale reuse. This paper describes the development of an architecture-centric framework that consists of multiple architecture alternatives, from which the architect can select and generate a working prototype in a top-down manner through an user interface rather than building it from scratch. The fra...

Abstract: This paper claims that style, in addition to being identified by common visible physical characteristics of form, can be thought of in terms of a set of common abstract characteristics. A prototype computational design support tool is described that explores this idea in the domain of architecture: The Architect's Collaborator (TAC) supports articulation and evaluation of abstract cha...

The article examines the significance of history–themed passages (historiae) in Vitruvius’ architectural treatise De architectura and assesses their veracity vis–à–vis rhetorical impact. article’s particular focus lies on reflections history, since sound knowledge it—as author claims—is vital for any competent architect. It asserts that Vitruvius tends to stretch historical truth whenever he ma...

Computer architects employ a series of performance optimizations at the micro-architecture level. These are meant to be invisible programmer but they implicitly programmed alongside architectural state. Critically, incorrect results these not scrubbed off micro-architectural This side-effect may seem innocuous. However, through transient-execution, an attacker can leverage this knowledge obtain...

It is acknowledged that one of the most critical issues facing today’s organizations concerns the substantial leaps required to methodologically structure innovation. Among other published work, some suggest that a complete rethinking of current practices is required. In this article, we propose a methodology aiming at providing controlled R&D choices based on a monitoring of the impact Solutio...

This paper presents the efforts that have been made during the development of a set of harbour training simulators to improve their quality. The paper focuses on two main research lines: the improvement of complex physical systems involved in the simulation and the analysis of hardware architecture solutions. Cable-based hoist systems and bulk materials are systems present in different harbour ...

This application comes to help software architects and developers during the long process between user’s stories, designing the application’s structure and actually coding it.
