ARCHITECTURAL MISMATCH Heather T. Kowalski September 5, 2000
Article Details • “Architectural Mismatch: Why Reuse Is So Hard” • By David Garlan, Robert Allen, & John Ockerbloom • CMU Professor & Graduate Students • IEEE Software, November 1995
Context • ABLE Project • Architecture-Based Languages & Environments • To develop “foundations for an engineering discipline for software architecture” • Aesop System • Tool designed to “experiment with architectural development environments”
Aesop • Inputs of Style Description & Shared Infrastructure • Aesop’s black box Manipulation • Result: Custom Design Environment • www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/project/able/www/aesop/aesop_home.html
Software Architecture • Motivation • Depict a Complex System in Manageable Format • Identify & Exploit Recurring Elements
Software Architecture, con’t • Research Areas • Architectural Description • Formal Underpinnings • Design Guidance • Domain Specific Architecture • Architecture in Context • Role of Tools & Environments
Harsh Realities • Excessive Code • Poor Performance • Modify External Packages • Need to Reinvent Existing Functions • Unnecessarily Complicated Tools • Error-Prone Construction
Conflicting Assumptions -- Taxonomy • Nature of Components • Nature of the Connectors • Global Architectural Structure • Construction Process
Nature of Components • Infrastructure • Control Model • Data Model
Nature of Connectors • Protocols • Event Broadcast • Request/Reply pair • Data Model • C Constructs & Arrays • ASCII Strings
Global Architectural Structure • Role of Tools • Independent Tools • Concurrency = Conflict
Construction Process • Existing Infrastructure • Application Code • Reuse/Integration Code • Code Generated by other Packages
Future • Design of Components • Codify Notations, Mechanisms, and Tools • Steps: • Explicitly Document Architectural Assumptions • Orthogonal Subcomponents • Sources of Design Guidance • Techniques for Bridging Mismatches
