“…The use of styles in architecture design implies certain properties of software systems, as these styles are abstractions of successfully implemented systems that are usually easy to understand, to manage, or to maintain [12,13]. Non-functional quality aspects ranging from availability, performance, and maintainability guarantees to costs are equally important functional aspects of components and need to be captured explicitly to clearly state the quality requirements.…”

“…The architecture influences a broad variety of properties such as the maintainability, dependability or the performance of a system [10]. While architecture description languages (ADLs) exist [22], these are not always suitable to support rich conceptual modelling of architectures [12]. Only a few, such as ACME [10], support the abstraction of architectures into styles or patterns.…”

a b s t r a c tThe conceptual modelling of software architectures is of central importance for the quality of a software system. A rich modelling language is required to integrate the different aspects of architecture modelling, such as architectural styles, structural and behavioural modelling, into a coherent framework. Architectural styles are often neglected in software architectures. We propose an ontological approach for architectural style modelling based on description logic as an abstract, meta-level modelling instrument. We introduce a framework for style definition and style combination. The application of the ontological framework in the form of an integration into existing architectural description notations is illustrated.

“…In this paper, we will use the terms "design patterns" for lower-level artifacts, and "architectural styles" for higher-level artifacts, except when explicitly discussing differences between both concepts. A taxonomy of these concepts and other types of architectural constraints is presented in [23]. Figure 1 shows an overview of our view of the relationship of architectural styles to other concepts of software architecture, which applies to all the usages we identified.…”

A taxonomy of architectural style usage is introduced, which serves to design new (agile or heavy-weight) software development methods that employ architectural styles. We use the term "architectural styles" to refer to high-level design patterns. We identified five major usages: ad-hoc, platformoriented, customized, pre-modeling and post-documentation/-analysis. In addition generic and reference architectures are compared to architectural styles based on their usage. Finally, a classification of these usages is presented that discusses the dimensions compositionality, specialization, explication/rigor, conceptual level, relationship to system quality attributes, and the suitability for architectural design exploration.
