This dissertation thesis presents an approach enabling the modelling and quality-of-service prediction of event-based systems at the architecture-level. Applying a two-step model refinement transformation, the approach integrates platform-specific performance influences of the underlying middleware while enabling the use of different existing analytical and simulation-based prediction techniques.
The ADMD3 approach presented in this book enchances the architectural design documentation of decision via reuse of design patterns. It combines the support for evaluation of pattern application, semi-automated documentation of decision rationale and trace links. The approach is based on a new kind of design pattern catalogue, whereby usual pattern descriptions are captured together with question annotations to the patterns and information on architectural structure of patterns.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Software Architecture, ECSA 2023, held in Istanbul, Turkey, in September 2023. The 16 full papers and the 9 short papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 71 submissions. They address the most recent, innovative, and significant findings and experiences in the field of software architecture research and practice.
Previously, software architects were unable to effectively and efficiently apply reusable knowledge (e.g., architectural styles and patterns) to architectural analyses. This work tackles this problem with a novel method to create and apply templates for reusable knowledge. These templates capture reusable knowledge formally and can efficiently be integrated in architectural analyses.
The present book includes extended and revised versions of a set of selected papers presented at the 18th International Joint Conference on e-Business and Telecommunications, ICETE 2021, held as an online web-based event (due to the COVID-19 pandemic) in July 2021. The 17 full papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 197 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: e-Business and security and cryptography.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference, QoSA 2010, held in Prague, Czech Republic in June 2010. The 11 revised long papers were selected from 32 submissions and are organized in topical sections on Model-Driven Analysis, Quality of Service Adaption as well as Case Studies and Experience Reports.
Business processes and information systems evolve constantly and affect each other in non-trivial ways. Aligning security requirements between both is a challenging task. This work presents an automated approach to extract access control requirements from business processes with the purpose of transforming them into a) access permissions for role-based access control and b) architectural data flow constraints to identify violations of access control in enterprise application architectures.
In software development, project constraints lead to customer-specific variants by copying and adapting the product. During this process, modifications are scattered all over the code. Although this is flexible and efficient in the short term, a Software Product Line (SPL) offers better results in the long term, regarding cost reduction, time-to-market, and quality attributes. This book presents a novel approach named SPLevo, which consolidates customized product copies into an SPL.
Model transformations, together with models, form the principal artifacts in model-driven software development. Industrial practitioners report that transformations on larger models quickly get sufficiently large and complex themselves. To alleviate entailed maintenance efforts, this thesis presents a modularity concept with explicit interfaces, complemented by software visualization and clustering techniques. All three approaches are tailored to the specific needs of the transformation domain.
