Integration Architecture Theory

CCR-9988320Gamble，Rosanne，F.塔尔萨大学集成体系结构理论当前的软件开发实践经常将多个现有的、通常是不同种类的组件的重用合并到单个应用程序中。这种开发风格被认为增加了所产生的集成系统的适应性和进化性。尽管商业中间件被吹捧为解决了这些问题，但它的使用往往导致解决方案不完整，既不灵活也不可演化。为了克服这些问题，有必要对互操作性冲突的内在本质进行捕获和编码，以便以原则性的方式确定和应用适当的解决方法。为此，本项目致力于开发一种集成理论，其基础是制定互操作性冲突的软件体系结构描述，将这些冲突映射到解决策略，并定义这些策略在中间件框架中使用的形式组合。因此，这项研究的目标是在基础水平上提供关键资源，以制定原则性和可重复的设计决策，从而产生更完整和适应性更强的集成解决方案。

CCR-9988320Gamble, Rosanne, F.University of TulsaIntegration Architecture TheoryCurrent software development practices frequently incorporate the reuse ofmultiple, existing, and often heterogeneous, components in a singleapplication. This style of development is thought to increase adaptabilityand evolvability of the resulting integrated system. Unfortunately, it alsomanifests complex interoperability conflicts among participating components.Though commercial middleware is being touted as resolving these problems,often its use results in incomplete solutions, which are neither flexiblenor evolvable. To overcome these problems, it is necessary to capture andcodify the inherent nature of interoperability conflicts in order todetermine and apply appropriate resolution techniques in a principledmanner. Toward this end, this project focuses on developing a theory ofintegration founded on formulating software architecture descriptions ofinteroperability conflicts, mapping these conflicts to resolutionstrategies, and defining a formal composition of these strategies as theyare used in middleware frameworks. The goal of this research is, therefore,to provide key resources at a foundational level to make principled andrepeatable design decisions that result in more complete and adaptableintegration solutions.
