BeeEye: A Framework for Constructing Architectural Views

Abstract

International audienceWe believe that offering means for defining and building multiple architectural views of a given system enhances the understanding of the system as a whole. BeeEye is a generic and open framework for architecture reconstruction, which allows to construct architectural views using different (possibly combined) viewpoints and perspectives. The framework follows a model-driven approach where viewpoints and views (abstract and concrete) are models that are defined, constructed and used

A tactic-centric approach for automating traceability of quality concerns

“…However, these approaches are manual in nature and fail to provide guidance on how to create and manage the potentially large number of traceability links needed to make the design knowledge available to a wide group of project stakeholders during software maintenance activities. Other researchers have developed techniques that are designed to increase program comprehension by reconstructing various architectural views [22], [31], however these techniques tend to emphasize reconstruction of the high-level structure of the system and not the underlying architectural decisions.…”

A View-based Approach to Quality of Service Modelling in Service-oriented Enterprise Systems

“…In this paper, we discuss neither the integration of perspectives nor viewpoint construction techniques, nor the view balancing techniques because the research is still in progress. The preliminary viewpoint construction techniques were developed by generalising, composing, extending, and modifying the perspective integration techniques proposed in the traditional requirements engineering [34], [35], business process modelling [40], enterprise modelling [41], architecture engineering [42], and development of distributed applications [43]. To balance the views, we model them as weighted QoS goals [44], [45] and try to apply interactive balancing procedure inspired by [40].…”
