Software Security has received a lot of attention during the last years. It aims at preventing security problems by building software without the socalled security holes. One of the ways to do this is to apply specific patterns in software architecture. In the same way that the well-known design patterns for building well-structured software have been used, a new kind of patterns, called securi...

the strategies to reduce the consumption of non-renewable energies in buildings are becoming increasingly important. in the meantime, nature-inspired approaches have emerged as a new strategy to achieve thermal comfort in the interiors. however, the use of these approaches in architecture and buildings requires a proper understanding regarding the features of ecosystems. although acquiring this...

This paper proposes a pattern language for socio-technical system design to inform validation of system requirements. The development of this language takes inspiration from Alexander’s pattern language for building design in architecture. It identifies different types of patterns which fulfil different roles in the requirements engineering process. This pattern-based validation approach has be...

We propose an approach for interfacing agents and existing message routing and mediation engines based on the endpoint concept from the enterprise integration patterns of Hohpe and Woolf.
