Software architecture is the high level model of a software system. It should be specified with ADLs (Architecture Description Languages) for its clarity and preciseness. Most ADLs such as C2SADL have not come into extensive use in industries since ADL users should learn a distinct notation specific to architecture, and ADLs do not address all stakes of the development process that is becoming diversified everyday. On the other hand, UML is a do facto standard general modeling language for software developments. UML provides a consistent notation and various supporting tools during the whole software development cycle. But, UML is a general modeling language and does not provide all concepts that are important to architecture description. UML should be extended in order to precisely model architecture. In this paper, we defined a C2 architecture modeling language as a UML2.0 profile. We applied the defined C2 architecture modeling language to the modeling of a restaurant reservation system.

Component-based development leverages software reusability and reduces development costs. Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) is a component model developed to reduce the complexity of software development and to facilitate reuse of components. However, EJB does not support component assembly by a plug-and-play technique due to the hard-wired composition at the code level. To cope with this problem, an architecture for EJB component assembly is defined at the abstract level and the inconsistency between the system architecture and its implementation must be eliminated at the implementation level. We propose a component-based application development tool named the COBALT assembler that supports the design and implementation of EJB component assembly by a plug-and-play technique based on the architecture style. The system architecture is first defined by the Architecture Description Language (ADL). The wrapper code and glue code are then generated for the assembly. After the consistency between the architecture and its implementation is checked, the assembled EJB components are deployed in an application server as a new composite component. We use the COBALT assembler for a shopping mall system and demonstrate that it can promote component reuse and leverage the system maintainability.

Recently, component-based development (CBD) is rapidly spreading as a way of improving the reusability, productivity, and quality of software. For CBD to be effective in achieving such design objectives, the creation and integration of components must be based on a well-defined architecture that guides the correct composition and cooperation of application components. Software architecture must be described using an architecture description language (ADL) to ensure the correctness and preciseness of architecture models. In this paper, we propose the system architecture of an ADL tool set that can effectively support the use of CBD based on the domain architecture and we describe each component of the proposed system architecture. We also modify and redefine C2SADL that was developed to support the use of the description of C2 architectural style by UCI (University of California in Irvine) to facilitate the integration of separately described architecture models, and introduce the method of design and implementation of our ADL processor that partially implements the proposed ADL system architecture.

This paper presents an experimental study on a 1/2 scale steel frame with archaized-style under the pseudo-dynamic loading. Four seismic waves, including El Centro wave, Taft wave, Lanzhou wave and Wenchuan wave, were input during the test. The hysteresis characteristic, energy dissipation acceleration response, displacement response, strength, stiffness and strain were analyzed. Based on the experiment, the elastoplastic dynamic time-history analysis was carried out with the software ABAQUS. The stress distribution and failure mode were obtained. The results indicate that the steel frame with archaized-style was in elastic stage when the peak acceleration of input wave was no more than 400 gal. Under Wenchuan wave with peak acceleration of 620 gal, the steel frame enters into the elastoplastic stage, the maximum inter-story drift was 1/203 and the bearing capacity still tended to increase. During the loading process, Dou-Gong yielded first and played the role of the first seismic fortification line, and then beam ends and column bottom ends yielded in turn. The steel frame with archaized-style has good seismic performance and meets the seismic design requirement of Chinese code.

To design a software system many architecture styles have to be combined to construct the overall architecture of the system What to choose among various architecture styles or architectural approaches depends on the fact of what kind of functional or non-functional quality requirements the system should satisfy In this study, we define the method to choose suitable architectural approaches by the satisfaction level of system requirements that is evaluated through estimation about technical parts of architectural approaches, and verify the evaluation method by the case study that apply the evaluation method to choose architectural approaches for message system.

We present a cleaning robot algorithm that can be implemented on low-cost robot architecture while the cleaning performance far exceeds the conventional random style cleaning through human-robot interaction. We clarify the advantages and disadvantages of the two notable cleaning robot styles: the random and the mapping styles, and show the possibility how we can achieve the performance of the complicated mapping style under the random style-like robot architecture using the idea of human-aided cleaning algorithm. Experimental results are presented to show the performance.

In this paper, we propose a now architecture for hardware implementation of digital neural network. By adopting flexible ladder-style bus and internal connection network into traditional SIMD-type digital neural network architecture, the proposed architecture enables fast processing that is based on parallelism, while does not abandon the flexibility and extensibility of the traditional approach. In the proposed architecture, users can change the network topology by setting configuration registers. Such reconfigurability on hardware allows enough usability like software simulation. We implement the proposed design on real FPGA, and configure the chip to multi-layer perceptron with back propagation for alphabet recognition problem. Performance comparison with its software counterpart shows its value in the aspect of performance and flexibility.

According to change of software development technique as design pattern, component based development etc.., web server development part is applied activity to fit in various user requirement. Especially, EJB as sewer side component model much researches and introduce by easy and various development support. Also, component composing techniques is receiving many interests by easy and efficient application way that architecture based C2 style architecture with message handling. But, in case of EJB component that can not cail thread, C2 framework modification is unavoidable for component composition by C2 style architeccture. For this, we propose techniques to use Adapter pattern to be one of structure pattern among pattern. That is, did so that component composition by C2 style architecture may can consist changing to be able to call thread function in EJB by Adapter pattern.

In recent years, embedded systems have become so complex and the development time to market is required to be shorter than before. As embedded systems include more functions for new services, embedded software gradually grow in size, and development costs and time are increasing. In order to overcome this serious matter, we need a customized design and test technique for embedded software. In this paper, we present a software architecture style for embedded software. It facilitates the composition of reusable functions and helps developers to reduce development time. Because the costs associated with revealing errors of embedded software in applications are rising. we propose a test method and tools for target environments.

Layered Architecture is a kind of nodule decomposition techniques, which decomposes a program by generality This paper proposes a ]aver based method for recovering layered architecture from object-oriented program and checking conformance against architectural document. To specify the rules for layered style in object-oriented program, we define a partially ordered set on modules by module use relationship and module layer relationship by module override relationship. The meaning of module layer relationship is explained with an example from design patterns. Steps to recover layered architecture from program are described and a metamodel for the recovery is proposed. Architecture recovery is performed on source codes from open-source software project, and the implication of parts that do not conform to its architectural document is discussed. As a result of checking, it is pointed out that, although the parts are considered allowable exceptions of layered architecture, their modifications should be controlled carefully.
