Architecting frameworks for specific applications with RM-ODP
Ana Paula Gonçalves, Sandro Antônio Vicente, Dib Karam, Moacyr Martucci · 2004
Today, distributed systems are commonly used in business enterprises in practically all market sectors. But such systems are characterized by their huge complexity due to physical distribution, lack of synchronization, heterogeneity, external parties and the very business logic related to the system itself. RM-ODP appeared as an interesting resource to assist the designing of architectures for distributed systems, providing means to capture business needs, distributed processing systems architecture, semantics of processing, and choice of technologies. This paper presents three different experiences in modeling architectures using RM-ODP: a proposal for use of RM-ODP for the development of convergent applications, a generic architecture for CRM systems and a framework based on ODP for the integration among different computer architectures. 1
