Architectural figure - a reuse pattern for analysis and transformation of ODP based-systems
Hai-Quan Nguyen · 2005
Work in communities such as component-based development, model-driven engineering, and software architecture deal with quality assurance in different levels of design. Techniques such as component model, transformation, and architectural description language help to improve development costs, time and partially quality of systems. However, we argue that it is necessary to take a global and open approach for quality analysis by considering behavioral, deployment and non-functional qualities in the same design method. This paper presents our approach to building the architecture in RM-ODP's engineering viewpoint by using architectural figure concept with analysis tool. The concept is inspired from the software pattern and the software style but provides more capacities for quality properties analysis and for transformation of systems architecture.
