The paper focuses on how to classify as well as to define the Architecture Patterns which are popularly used in the design of software architecture. In order to achieve this purpose, we propose not only the revised methodology for Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture Design, but also new method of classification and definition for the Architecture Patterns. Especially, because the patterns are so diverse depending on the level of abstraction and types of applications, it was considered to have some different views of classification of the patterns in order to support convenient access to classified and stored patterns. The abstraction of the pattern is another important result of the research, which is devised for concrete expression of the patterns and for presentation of the interrelation among group of the patterns. The research also includes the extension of the quality model popularly adopted in the software domain, which enables the description of the patterns with the well defined quality attributes in terms of software architecture's point of view.

While architectural patterns provide software development solutions by providing schemas for structural organizations of software systems based on empirical knowledge, Jackson's problem frames provide a method of analyzing software problems. Problem frames are useful to understanding the software development problem, by putting emphasis on the problem domain, rather than on the solution space. Research exists that relates problem frames and software architecture, but most of this research uses problem frames only to understand given problems. Moreover, none of the existing research derives architectural patterns by considering both problem frames and quality attributes. In this paper, we propose a software architecture design method for pattern-based architecture design, by matching problem frames and architectural patterns. To that end, our approach first develops the problem model based on the problem frames approach, and then uses it to match with candidate architectural patterns, from the perspectives of both functionality, and quality attributes. Functional matching uses the problem frame diagram to match the problem model of an architectural pattern. We conduct a case study to show that our approach can systematically decide the right architectural patterns, and provide a basis for fine-grained software architecture design.

As software grows continuously in scale and complexity, the role of software architecture has become increasingly important across various industries. Although software architects often rely on their experience and intuition when designing such architecture, there is a variety of methodologies being researched for architecture design. However, these methodologies do not address the specific effects of applying multiple architectural patterns to a system or the sequence in which they should be applied. In this study, we explain the variation in architectural design results depending on the order in which the same set of architectural patterns is applied to a single system. Based on this phenomenon, we identify requirements for applying architectural patterns and propose a method of classifying the patterns to be applied. We also propose a prioritization process for requirements to efficiently apply the classified patterns in a specific order. Finally, we show a case study that prioritizing requirements based on architectural pattern types is beneficial for efficient software architecture design in terms of quality attributes.

Mobile devices with Android OS and iOS have been emerged as mobile computing devices where various software applications are deployed. Furthermore, they are anticipated to be used not only for traditional personal computing but also for enterprise computing. However, such mobile devices have their intrinsic characteristics such as limited resources and flexible network capabilities, which are not revealed in traditional computers. Hence, there is high demand for methods to develop mobile applications with reflecting their intrinsic characteristics. Since those characteristics belong to non-functional requirements, they should be reflected in architecture design while designing mobile applications. To design architecture, the architecture drivers that are architecture non-functional requirements are decided from mobile application characteristics. Conventional architecture design methods do not consider those characteristics so that the methods cannot be straightforwardly applied to mobile applications. In this paper, to efficiently develop mobile applications reflecting those characteristics, we propose a set of architecture patterns and define a guideline to apply those patterns. First, we define the characteristics of mobile applications distinguished and derive architectural drivers from them. Then, we propose architecture patterns in terms of static and dynamic views and define an architectural guideline to apply the patterns to designing architecture for mobile application. And, we perform case studies to verify the applicability of proposed patterns. Finally, we assess the proposed architecture patterns by proving how the patterns can fulfill identified architecture drivers and by comparing our approach with previous works.

Security has been a major concern in software development. Security tactics are reusable building blocks providing a general solution for recurring security concerns at the architectural level. They are often used together with architectural patterns which provide a general solution for architecting software systems. However, use of security tactics in architectural patterns has been understood only conceptually without concrete understanding of how their involved elements should be structurally and behaviorally co-designed. In this paper, we present model-driven analyses of security tactics in the context of Broker architectural patterns and provide evidences of the analyses in real world case studies.

서비스 지향 아키텍처는 기업 인프라의 복잡성 및 유지비용을 최소화 하고, 기업의 생산성과 유연성을 극대화할 것으로 기대되어 차세대 소프트웨어 아키텍처로 각광받고 있다. 이러한 서비스 지향 아키텍처 기반의 시스템이 효율적이고 성공적으로 자리 잡기 위해서는 올바른 서비스 식별과 구성이 필수적이다. 하지만 서비스를 식별하기 위한 요구사항 분석과정은 비즈니스 업무를 분석하는데 집중되어 있으며, 비기능 요구사항은 비가시적인(invisible) 특성으로 인해 쉽게 간과되어 설계에 반영되기 어렵다. 기존의 방법들은 이러한 비기능 요구사항을 객체수준에서 반영하기 때문에 서비스 조합으로 새로운 서비스를 창출하는 서비스 지향 아키텍처의 구조에서는 비기능 요구사항을 달성하기 어렵다. 본 논문은 서비스 패턴에 적용 가능한 비기능 요구사항을 식별하고 서비스 지향 아키텍처에 필요한 패턴을 분석한다. 그리고 식별된 비기능 요구사항을 달성하기 위한 서비스 패턴을 제안한다.

Recently, the accomplishment of a system's quality attributes requires the negotiation of increasingly complex requirements, and this is because the contextual and developmental environments in which software is used has undergone broad changes. Nevertheless, with regard to most architectural designs, many of the proportions depend on the architect's intuition. Moreover, even if reusable architectural patterns are adapted to an architectural design, common schemas for the description of their use are nonexistent, and it is difficult to make a comparison for the selection of an appropriate systemic pattern because the focus of the schemas is not the user's perspective. To achieve a fast initial-design decision, this paper suggests new schemas that reduce the distance between the quality attribute requirements and the design by reinterpreting architectural patterns from the user's perspective. Also, based on the reconstructed pattern model that is derived from the use of the new schemas, an architectural-pattern recommendation method (APOQATo) for which the trade-off and the constraints that are due to the design decision are considered is provided as well as the advantages of the architectural pattern for which the quality attributes are satisfied.

To design a software system in success, architectural approaches which are in basis of architectural design, must be primarily selected. What to chose among various architecture styles as specific as architectural approaches, varies along with the system status of what kind of functional or non-functional quality requirements should satisfy. In this study, we propose the evaluation model for making a selection of architectural approaches, and select an architectural approach for message system actively using in diversified internet utilization and enterprise application integration, In other words, if there may be possibly existed several architectural approaches, we present the most suitable method of architectural approach out of them through an evaluation of analyzing the system requirements satisfaction level. In addition, when it performs specific design and implementation utilizing design patterns based on thread, developers would be able to link up the architecture design directly.

CBD를 지원하는 소프트웨어 개발기법이 최근 많은 관심과 함께 도입되면서 이를 효과적으로 운용할 수 있는 아키텍처기반의 조립 및 활용분야가 활발히 연구되고 있다. 특히, C2(Chiron-2) 스타일 아키텍처는 GUI를 지원하기 위한 메시지방식의 컴포넌트 조합기법이라는 점에서 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 그러나, 서버측 컴포넌트 모델인 EJB(Enterprise Java Beans)의 경우 쓰레드를 포함할 수 없으며, 직접적인 메소드를 호출하는 방식으로 이하여 GUI 기반 메시지 방식에서는 수정이 불가피하다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 C2 스타일 아키텍처에 EJB 컴포넌트를 적용할 수 있는 기법을 제안하고자한다. 즉 디자인패턴 중 구조패턴의 하나인 Adapter패턴을 이용하여 EJB 컴포넌트를 C2 프레임워크에 적용할 수 있는 컴포넌트 쓰레드로 생성 및 운영하였다. 이를 위하여, J2EE 1.2.1과 J2SDK1.3환경에서 구현 및 실행하였다.
