A network architectural style for real-time systems: NaSr
Rabih Bashroush, Ivor T. A. Spence, Peter Kilpatrick, Thomas J. Brown · 2004
Inter-component communication has always been of great importance in the design of software architectures and connectors have been considered as first-class entities in many approaches by R. Allen and D. Garlan (1994), M. Shaw et al., (1995), and D. Batory and S. O'Malley (1992). We present a novel architectural style that is derived from the well-established domain of computer networks. The style adopts the inter-component communication protocol in a novel way that allows large scale software reuse. It mainly targets real-time, distributed, concurrent, and heterogeneous systems.
