Software architecture often consists of interconnected components dispersed across source code and other development artifacts, making visualization difficult without costly additional documentation. Although some tools can automatically…
Starting from the pioneering works on software architecture precious guidelines have emerged to indicate how computer programs should be organized. For example the "separation of concerns" suggests to split a program into modules that…
What is Software Architecture? The rules, paradigmen, pattern that help to construct, build and test a serious piece of software. It is the practical experience boiled down to abstract level. Software Architecture builds on System…
In the last 15 years, software architecture has emerged as an important software engineering field for managing the development and maintenance of large, software- intensive systems. Software architecture community has developed numerous…
Software architecture decision-making is critical to the success of a software system as software architecture sets the structure of the system, determines its qualities, and has far-reaching consequences throughout the system life cycle.…
A software architecture describes the structure of a computing system by specifying software components and their interactions. Mapping a software architecture to an implementation is a well known challenge. A key element of this mapping is…
Software architecture is receiving increasingly attention as a critical design level for software systems. As software architecture design resources (in the form of architectural specifications) are going to be accumulated, the development…
This paper proposes some new architectural metrics which are appropriate for evaluating the architectural attributes of a software system. The main feature of our approach is to assess the complexity of a software architecture by analyzing…
The continuing process of software systems enlargement in size and complexity becomes system design extremely important for software production. In this way, the role of software architecture is significantly important in software…
Orientation of modern software systems towards data-intensive processing raises new difficulties in software engineering on how to build and maintain such systems. Some of the important challenges concern the design of software…
This article presents a model for describing the architecture of software-intensive systems, based on the use of multiple, concurrent views. This use of multiple views allows to address separately the concerns of the various stakeholders of…
Software architecture is inherently knowledge-centric. The architectural knowledge is distributed across heterogeneous software artifacts such as requirements documents, design diagrams, code, and documentation, making it difficult for…
The software process model consists of a set of activities undertaken to design, develop and maintain software systems. A variety of software process models have been designed to structure, describe and prescribe the software development…
The landscape of computing technologies is changing rapidly, straining existing software engineering practices and tools. The growing need to produce and maintain increasingly complex multi-architecture applications makes it crucial to…
Software systems emerge from mere keystrokes to form intricate functional networks connecting many collaborating modules, objects, classes, methods, and subroutines. Building on recent advances in the study of complex networks, I have…
Microservices architecture is one of the new architectural styles that has improved in recent years. It has become a popular architectural style among system architects and developers. This popularity increased with the advent of new…
Context: Software architecture is a knowledge-intensive field. One mechanism for storing architecture knowledge is the recognition and description of architectural patterns. Selecting architectural patterns is a challenging task for…
More often than not, there is a need to understand the structure of complex computer code: what functions and in what order they are called, how information travels around static, input, and output variables, what depends on what. As a…
Managing software artifacts is one of the most essential aspects of computer science. It enables to develop, operate, and maintain software in an engineer-like manner. Therefore, numerous concrete strategies, methods, best practices, and…
A software architecture defines the blueprints of a large computational system, and is thus a crucial part of the design and development effort. This task has been explored extensively in the context of mobile robots, resulting in a…
