This paper makes the case for using little-known hardware hooks in COTS (Commodity-Off-The-Shelf) computer systems to prototype architectural research ideas. We survey a set of features in Intel processors and chipsets that can help us estimate the overheads and benefits of proposed architectural enhancements. We show that these features have diverse uses in performance evaluation, power manage...

This paper presents an approach to address the problem of image façade labelling. In the architectural literature, domain knowledge is usually expressed geometrically in the final design, so façade labelling should on the one hand conform to visual evidence, and on the other hand to the architectural principles – how individual assets (e.g. doors, windows) interact with each other to form a faç...

This Study has discussed the meaning of public space and has shown that public spaces are an essential part of people’s lives. It has also identified the key urban design and architectural ideologies that have influenced the shape of the built environment, and has discussed how each has perceived the value of public spaces. In the following provides an overview of the relationship between peopl...

Given the complexity of today’s software systems, Software Architecture is a topic that has recently increased in significance. It is consider as a key element in the design and development of systems and has the ability to promote/punish some quality characteristics. Quality is related mainly to the non-functional requirements expected of the system. Using appropriate methods for Architectural...

This doctoral thesis presents new techniques for improving the structural quality of automatically-acquired architectural 3D models. Common architectural properties such as parallelism and orthogonality of walls and linear structures are exploited. The locations of features such as planes and 3D lines are extracted from the model by using a probabilistic technique (RANSAC). The relationships be...

Architectural Design Rewriting (ADR) is a declarative rule-based approach for the design of dynamic software architectures. The key features that make ADR a suitable and expressive framework are the algebraic presentation of graph-based structures and the use of conditional rewrite rules. These features enable the modelling of, e.g. hierarchical design, inductively defined reconfigurations and ...

Utopia and Vision. Learning from Vienna and Frankfurt By definition, a utopia cannot be realized; at the same time architecture needs a “place”. Within this contradiction, modern architectural utopias have conceived of and developed spatial solutions to implement their principles. The spatial analysis of modern utopias allows for the identification of the relationship between architectural feat...

Sylvan is a multiprocessor system that provides lightweight tasks with full address space protection. The primary design goal of the system is to make tasks viable as a scalable unit of concurrent abstraction. Lightweight tasks are supported by a task-ing coprocessor that provides fast context switching and low-latency inter-task communication and synchronization. With fast context switching an...
