Configuration logics: Modeling architecture styles

Simon Bliudze, Joseph Sifakis, 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 ...

Functional BIP: Embedding connectors in functional programming languages

Romain Edelmann, Simon Bliudze, Joseph Sifakis

This paper presents a theoretical foundation for functional language implementations of Behaviour–Interaction–Priority (BIP). We introduce a set of connector combinators describing synchronisation, data transfer, priorities and dynamicity in a principled w ...

Architecture Diagrams: A Graphical Language for Architecture Style Specification

Simon Bliudze, Joseph Sifakis, Anastasia Mavridou, Eduard Baranov

Architecture styles characterise families of architectures sharing common characteristics. We have recently proposed configuration logics for architecture style specification. In this paper, we study a graphical notation to enhance readability and easiness ...

Architecture-based Design: A Satellite On-board Software Case Study

Anton Ivanov, Simon Bliudze, Joseph Sifakis, Anastasia Mavridou

In this case study, we apply the architecture-based design approach to the control software of the CubETH satellite. Architectures are a means for ensuring global coordination properties and thus, achieving correctness of complex systems by construction. T ...

A General Framework for Architecture Composability

Simon Bliudze, Joseph Sifakis, Eduard Baranov

Architectures depict design principles: paradigms that can be understood by all, allow thinking on a higher plane and avoiding low-level mistakes. They provide means for ensuring correctness by construction by enforcing global properties characterizing the ...

Parameterized Systems in BIP: Design and Model Checking

Simon Bliudze, Joseph Sifakis, Qiang Wang

BIP is a component-based framework for system design that has important industrial applications. BIP is built on three pillars: behavior, interaction, and priority. In this paper, we introduce first-order interaction logic (FOIL) that extends BIP to system ...

A Theory Agenda for Component-Based Design

Simon Bliudze, Joseph Sifakis

The aim of the paper is to present a theory agenda for component-based design based on results that motivated the development of the BIP component framework, to identify open problems and discuss further research directions. The focus is on proposing a sem ...

Optimized distributed implementation of multiparty interactions with Restriction

Joseph Sifakis

Using high level coordination primitives allows enhanced expressiveness of component-based frameworks to cope with the inherent complexity of present-day systems designs. Nonetheless, their distributed implementation raises multiple issues, regarding both ...

System Design Automation: Challenges and Limitations

Joseph Sifakis

Electronic design automation (EDA) has enabled the integrated circuit industry to sustain exponentially increasing product complexity growth until today, while maintaining consistent product development timeline and costs. We argue that the success of EDA- ...

Toward a System Design Science

Joseph Sifakis

Design is a universal concept. It links the immaterial world of concepts to the physical world. It is an essential area of human experience, expertise, and knowledge, which deals with our ability to mold our environment to satisfy material and spiritual ne ...

Architecture Internalisation in BIP

Simon Bliudze, Joseph Sifakis

We consider two approaches for building component-based systems, which we call respectively architecture-based and architecture-agnostic. The former consists in describing coordination constraints in a purely declarative manner through parameterizable glue ...

Rigorous implementation of real-time systems – from theory to application

Joseph Sifakis

The correct and efficient implementation of general real-time applications remains very much an open problem. A key issue is meeting timing constraints whose satisfaction depends on features of the execution platform, in particular its speed. Existing rigo ...

Rigorous Design of Cyber-physical Systems

Joseph Sifakis

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) break with traditional systems such as desktop computers and servers, in various ways: (1) they are instrumented in order to interact with physical environments; (2) they are interconnected to allow interaction between people a ...

Rigorous System Design: The BIP Approach

Joseph Sifakis

Rigorous system design requires the use of a single powerful component framework allowing the representation of the designed system at different levels of detail, from application software to its implementation. This is essential for ensuring the overall c ...

Rigorous System Design

Joseph Sifakis

The monograph advocates rigorous system design as a coherent and accountable model-based process leading from requirements to correct implementations. It presents the current state of the art in system design, discusses its limitations, and identifies poss ...
