Research Areas & Projects Software
Architectures Software architecture is concerned
with the identification, representation, and development of software
subsystems and their interrelationships and constraints. This ongoing
research project seeks to broaden our understanding of software architectures
and develop architectures and supporting applications to strengthen software
development techniques and to enhance the teaching of software architecture.
Specifically, the research is intended to: 1. Develop and analyze different
architectural representations (i.e., architectural styles) for a given
candidate system, so that the properties, benefits and weakness of different
architectural styles may be identified.. 2. Develop and compare alternative
subsystem designs for a given architectural style. 3. Define and evaluate architectural
and quality metrics for different systems.
a.
Provide several implementations, each representing a
different design of an application, and
b.
Analyze the different implementations to identify quality properties
and constraints associated with that implementation. Research Projects 1. Pedagogical Support for
Software Architectures a.
