This chapter introduces context-driven personalisation of service provision based on a middleware architectural approach. It describes the emerging environment on service provision, outlining the increasing requirements for personalisation as well as the state-of-the-art approaches in personalisation. A novel information space is presented to introduce the middleware architectures for personali...

one of the most traditional architecture and urban planning patterns is bazaar. the aim of this paper is studying social, economical and architectural features of traditional bazaars. the claim of this study is that they are significant relationship between social and economical values of bazaars with their architectural values. bazaar usually is located along the main routes of the city and ex...

Software architectural design is essential for complex distributed applications. Architectural specifications need to define the key aspects of the application, including its intended functions, interfaces, interoperability requirements, distributability, scalability, extensibility, target platforms and networks, and required middleware services. In this paper, we present an architectural exten...

To meet the demand and stay competitive, many systems were traditionally pieced together without much consideration given to their quality, modifiability, scalability, security, or maintainability. This has since littered the computing landscape with brittle applications with high maintenance and complexity. Over time, these maligned systems have propagated in size and merged or integrated to b...

This paper presents an architectural pattern for structuring adaptive applications using aspectoriented programming in order to obtain separation of concerns. It is composed of known and novel patterns organized so as to provide good maintainability and modularity. 1

Critical properties of software systems, such as reliability, should be considered early in the development, when they can govern crucial architectural design decisions. A number of design-time reliabilityanalysis methods has been developed to support this task. However, the methods are often based on very low-level formalisms, and the connection to different architectural aspects (e.g., the sy...

We develop a notion of higher-order connector towards supporting the systematic construction of architectural connectors for software design. A higherorder connector takes connectors as parameters and allows for services such as security protocols and fault-tolerance mechanisms to be superposed over the interactions that are handled by the connectors passed as actual arguments. The notion is fi...
