Software Product-lines (SPLs) are software architectures that use modular software components that can be reconfigured into different variants for different requirements sets. Feature modeling is a common method used to capture the configuration rules for an SPL architecture. A key challenge developers face when maintaining an SPL is determining how to select a set of architectural features for...

urban commercial quarters such as bazaars can be found all over the world, from turkey toegypt, from tajikistan to iran. in iranian cities, bazaars have very specific and unique architectural features and theyhave played an important role as economic and social engines. in addition, bazaars are an integral part of the culturalgeography of iran and have contributed to the definition of urban dev...

Making architectural decisions based on requirements, analyzing cost-benefit trade-offs, and keeping design options open is a difficult task. Existing work on classification of architectural styles and features of reusable components, and derivation of relevant architectural styles provides useful heuristics to the task, but it remains to be largely a laborintensive activity. In this paper, we ...

An important step towards establishing an engineering discipline of software is to provide a formal basis for describing and analyzing software architectures. The Wright Architectural Speciication Language was developed for this purpose. The key novel features of Wright are its support for (a) formal speciication of new architectural connection types, (b) formal deenition of architectural style...

This article presents the matter of human need for theatricalization of architectural environment. The analysis of common and distinctive features between theater and architecture, between theatrical space and architectural space, between play in theater and play in architectural space has been made.

Abstract In the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), digital platforms have recently received significant attention. Although IIoT revolve around similar business objectives, they address various use cases and, thus, differ considerably in their architectural setup. While research has already investigated from a or design perspective, little is known about underlying technology stack and its i...

BACKGROUND Research on contextual and neighborhood effects increasingly includes the built (physical) environment's influences on health and social well-being. A population-based study examined whether architectural features of the built environment theorized to promote observations and social interactions (e.g., porches, windows) predict Hispanic elders' psychological distress. METHODS Codin...
