A Semantic Framework for Architecture Modelling

Eduard Baranov

Architectures are common means for organising coordination between components in order to build complex systems and to make them manageable. They allow thinking on a higher plane and avoiding low-level mistakes. Architectures provide means for ensuring cor ...

Diving into the dynamics of product evolution : analyzing technological discontinuities during the era of incremental change and cognitive convergence on a dominant design

Olivier Waeber

Three distinct stages describe the technological evolution of a product over time: ferment, convergence on a dominant design and an era of incremental change. Until recently, the era of incremental change has been characterized as stable and one that invol ...

Configuration logics: Modeling architecture styles

Joseph Sifakis, Simon Bliudze, Anastasia Mavridou, Eduard Baranov

We study a framework for the specification of architecture styles as families of architectures involving a common set of types of components and coordination mechanisms. The framework combines two logics: 1) interaction logics for the specification of arch ...

Establishing links for the planning of sustainable districts

François Maréchal, Jessen Page, Sébastien Cajot, Nils Christian Schüler

Cities can play a key role in mitigating climate change impacts, as they represent two thirds of the world’s energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. This paper presents a model-based approach to support cities in the challenge of including energy ...

Teaching an Ethnographic Approach to Requirements Elicitation in an Enterprise Architecture Course

Gil Regev, Alain Wegmann, Julie Lang

Requirements elicitation is an important part of information systems development. It is often performed as a technical task, but from a close look it is mainly a social activity. The main work consists of interacting with stake-holders in order to understa ...

Specification and Implementation of a Meta-model for Information Systems Cartography

Alain Wegmann, Gorica Tapandjieva Sekulovska

Models are used in software engineering, enterprise architecture, requirements engineering, etc. In this context, models can give support in creating a shared understanding of what exists in an enterprise. For this purpose we suggest to use a cartography t ...

Ontology-based approach for context modeling in enterprise applications

Dimitrios Kyritsis, Drazen Nadoveza

Today, enterprise applications provide large amounts of data and finding the right information on time for a given purpose is often a challenge. In these environments, users do not know what information is important, why it is important and finally, how to ...

Hierarchy-oriented modeling of enterprise architecture using reference-model of open distributed processing

Alain Wegmann, Lam Son Lê

Modeling Enterprise Architecture (EA) requires the representation of multiple views for an enterprise. This could be done by a team of stakeholders that essentially have different backgrounds. One way to do this is to structure the model into hierarchical ...

On the load-bearing efficiency of open-cell foams: A comparison of two architectures related to two processes

Andreas Mortensen, Andreas Rossoll

Using a simple beam element, this study estimates the elastic stiffness of two isotropic open-cell foam architectures that approximate, respectively, the space between tightly packed fluid bubbles and that defined between densified solid particles, and fin ...

Analogy between Juggling and Hopping: Active Object Manipulation Approach

Auke Ijspeert

Dynamic manipulation of an active object is introduced as a general model of hopping and juggling tasks. In this setting, juggling and hopping are two extreme cases of this general model. Behavioral resemblance of these two tasks is afterwards extended to ...
