Since nature of architecture is quite different from that of other fields of study, the criteria used forjudging projects in this field continuously undergo some changes. On the other hand, because of the undeniable role ofhuman factors in judging the projects, there is always a percentage of deviation from the standard given the interestsof the judging committee. The standards of judging archi...

Enterprise Integration Patterns (EIP) are a collection of widely used stencils for integrating enterprise applications and business processes. These patterns represent a “de-facto” standard reference for design decisions when integrating enterprise applications. For each of these patterns we present the integration semantics (model) and the conceptual translation (syntax) to the Business Proces...

When designing a secure software architecture, the architect must take possible evolution of the system and its environment into account. Inevitably, during the lifetime of the application, changes will occur that reduce the security of the system. It is crucial that these changes are anticipated, and that they can be accomodated with minimal impact on the architecture. This report introduces t...

Recognizing the link between “Cognition" and "Architectural Creation” indicates that there is a relation between subject and object. Correct understanding of this relationship helps artistic creativity, especially in the architecture, to take steps towards proving truth that have caused works to be continued over the past times. Knowledge and cognitions in architecture are categories that today...

In this paper we analyze the core issues affecting software architecture in enterprise projects where a large number of people at different backgrounds are involved and complex business, management and technical problems exist. We first give general features of typical enterprise projects and then present foundations of software architectures. The detailed analysis of core issues affecting soft...

In recent years enterprise architecture (EA) has acquired recognition as playing a pivotal role in change processes. Purported benefits of having enterprise architecture include improved decision making, improved adaptability to changing demands or market conditions, elimination of inefficient and redundant processes, optimization of the use of organizational assets and effectively achieve curr...

We seeks to automate the process of designing the architecture of the convolutional neural network using reinforcemnet learning. The Qlearning agent is trained to sequentially select the CNN layers to achieve maximum accuracy on the validation set. We limited the layers that the agent can select the convolutional layers, the maximum pooling layers, and the softmax layer with pre-defined hyperpa...

Designing, testing, and producing a new computer processor is a complex and very expensive process. To reduce costly mistakes in hardware, the microarchitecture is usually designed and tested with the aid of a software simulator. The FAST System enables microarchitects to develop architecture simulators rapidly and is less error-prone than using a high level language such as C. In this paper, w...

Enterprise Architecting (EA) is the process of developing enterprise Information Technology architecture. An EA focuses on a holistic and integrated view of the why, where, and who uses IT systems and how and what they are used for within an organization. An enterprise architect develops the strategy and enables the decisions for designing, developing, and deploying IT systems to support the bu...

To meet the tightening requirements on network hardware, the design of programmable processors with networkoptimized hardware, that is, network or protocol processors, has recently attracted interest. In this paper we address the problem of evaluating different architectural configurations for such processors. The proposed methodology enables easy and fast experimentation with different protoco...
