Architectural Styles and the Design of Network-based Software Architectures

by Roy Thomas Fielding , 2000
"... The World Wide Web has succeeded in large part because its software architecture has been designed to meet the needs of an Internet-scale distributed hypermedia system. The Web has been iteratively developed over the past ten years through a series of modifications to the standards that define its ..."

the architectural design of network-based application software through principled use of architectural constraints, thereby obtaining the functional, performance, and social properties desired of an architecture. An architectural style is a named, coordinated set of architectural constraints. This dissertation

Software Engineering Economics

by Barry W. Boehm , 1981
"... Abstract—This paper summarizes the current state of the art and recent trends in software engineering economics. It provides an overview of economic analysis techniques and their applicability to software engineering and management. It surveys the field of software cost estimation, including the maj ..."

On agent-based software engineering

by Nicholas R. Jennings, Michael Wooldridge - ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE , 2000
"... Agent-oriented techniques represent an exciting new means of analysing, designing and building complex software systems. They have the potential to significantly improve current practice in software engineering and to extend the range of applications that can feasibly be tackled. Yet, to date, there ..."

FFTW: An Adaptive Software Architecture For The FFT

by Matteo Frigo, Steven G. Johnson , 1998
"... FFT literature has been mostly concerned with minimizing the number of floating-point operations performed by an algorithm. Unfortunately, on present-day microprocessors this measure is far less important than it used to be, and interactions with the processor pipeline and the memory hierarchy have ..."

a larger impact on performance. Consequently, one must know the details of a computer architecture in order to design a fast algorithm. In this paper, we propose an adaptive FFT program that tunes the computation automatically for any particular hardware. We compared our program, called FFTW

Principled design of the modern web architecture

by Roy T. Fielding, Richard N. Taylor - ACM Trans. Internet Techn
"... The World Wide Web has succeeded in large part because its software architecture has been designed to meet the needs of an Internet-scale distributed hypermedia system. The modern Web architecture emphasizes scalability of component interactions, generality of interfaces, independent deployment of c ..."

of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol and Uniform Resource Identifiers. We describe the software engineering principles guiding REST and the interaction constraints chosen to retain those principles, contrasting them to the constraints of other architectural styles. We then compare the abstract model to the currently

Value-Based Software Engineering

by Barry W. Boehm - ACM Software Engineering Notes , 2003
"... Abstract—This paper provides a definition of the term “software engineering ” and a survey of the current state of the art and likely future trends in the field. The survey covers the technology available in the various phases of the software life cycle—requirements engineering, design, coding, test ..."

, test, and maintenance—and in the overall area of software management and integrated technology-management approaches. It is oriented primarily toward discussing the domain of applicability of techniques (where and when they work), rather than how they work in detail. To cover the latter, an extensive

Exokernel: An Operating System Architecture for Application-Level Resource Management

by Dawson R. Engler, M. Frans Kaashoek, James O’toole , 1995
"... We describe an operating system architecture that securely multiplexes machine resources while permitting an unprecedented degree of application-specific customization of traditional operating system abstractions. By abstracting physical hardware resources, traditional operating systems have signifi ..."

significantly limited the performance, flexibility, and functionality of applications. The exokernel architecture removes these limitations by allowing untrusted software to implement traditional operating system abstractions entirely at application-level. We have implemented a prototype exokernel-based system

The x-Kernel: An Architecture for Implementing Network Protocols

by Norman C. Hutchinson, Larry L. Peterson - IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering , 1991
"... This paper describes a new operating system kernel, called the x-kernel, that provides an explicit architecture for constructing and composing network protocols. Our experience implementing and evaluating several protocols in the x-kernel shows that this architecture is both general enough to acc ..."

abstractions through which processes running on those processors exchange messages. Network software is extremely complex: it must hide the details of the underlying hardware, recover from transmission failures, ensure that messages are delivered to the application processes in the appropriate order

Tensor Decompositions and Applications

by Tamara G. Kolda, Brett W. Bader - SIAM REVIEW , 2009
"... This survey provides an overview of higher-order tensor decompositions, their applications, and available software. A tensor is a multidimensional or N -way array. Decompositions of higher-order tensors (i.e., N -way arrays with N ≥ 3) have applications in psychometrics, chemometrics, signal proce ..."

Tinysec: A link layer security architecture for wireless sensor networks

by Chris Karlof, Naveen Sastry, David Wagner - in Proc of the 2nd Int’l Conf on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems
"... We introduce TinySec, the first fully-implemented link layer security architecture for wireless sensor networks. In our design, we leverage recent lessons learned from design vulnerabilities in security protocols for other wireless networks such as 802.11b and GSM. Conventional security protocols te ..."
