Foundations for the Study of Software Architecture

by Dewayne E. Perry, Alexander L. Wolf - ACM SIGSOFT SOFTWARE ENGINEERING NOTES , 1992
"... The purpose of this paper is to build the foundation for software architecture. We first develop an intuition for software architecture by appealing to several well-established architectural disciplines. On the basis of this intuition, we present a model of software architec-ture that consists of th ..."

Architectural Styles and the Design of Network-based Software Architectures

by Roy Thomas Fielding , 2000
"... The World Wide Web has succeeded in large part because its software architecture has been designed to meet the needs of an Internet-scale distributed hypermedia system. The Web has been iteratively developed over the past ten years through a series of modifications to the standards that define its ..."

FFTW: An Adaptive Software Architecture For The FFT

by Matteo Frigo, Steven G. Johnson , 1998
"... FFT literature has been mostly concerned with minimizing the number of floating-point operations performed by an algorithm. Unfortunately, on present-day microprocessors this measure is far less important than it used to be, and interactions with the processor pipeline and the memory hierarchy have ..."

a larger impact on performance. Consequently, one must know the details of a computer architecture in order to design a fast algorithm. In this paper, we propose an adaptive FFT program that tunes the computation automatically for any particular hardware. We compared our program, called FFTW

Specifying Distributed Software Architectures

by Jeff Magee, Naranker Dulay, Susan Eisenbach, Jeff Kramer , 1995
"... There is a real need for clear and sound design specifications of distributed systems at the architectural level. This is the level of the design which deals with the high-level organisation of computational elements and the interactions between those elements. The paper presents the Darwin notation ..."

A Formal Approach to Software Architecture

by Robert J. Allen , 1997
"... As software systems become more complex, the overall system structure---or software architecture---becomes a central design problem. A system's architecture provides a model of the system that suppresses implementation detail, allowing the architect to concentrate on the analyses and decisions ..."

A classification and comparison framework for software architecture description languages

by Nenad Medvidovic, Richard N. Taylor - IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering , 2000
"... Software architectures shift the focus of developers from lines-of-code to coarser-grained architectural elements and their overall interconnection structure. Architecture description languages (ADLs) have been proposed as modeling notations to support architecture-based development. There is, howev ..."

Dynamic structure in software architectures

by Jeff Magee, Jeff Kramer - In Proceedings of the Fourth ACM SIGSOFT Symposium on the Foundations of Software Engineering , 1996
"... Much of the recent work on Architecture Description Languages (ADL) has concentrated on specifying organisations of components and connectors which are static. When the ADL specification is used to drive system construction, then the structure of the resulting system in terms of its component instan ..."

This paper examines ADL features which permit the description of dynamic software architectures in which the organisation of components and connectors may change during system execution. The paper outlines examples of language features which support dynamic

Software Architectures

"... Software Architecture The software architecture of a program or computing system is the structure or structures of the system, which comprise software elements, the externally visible properties of those elements, and the relationships among them. [BCK03] ..."
