Toward a new analyzable architectural description language based on OSAN
, Article 2nd International Conference on Software Engineering Advances - ICSEA 2007, Cap Esterel, 25 August 2007 through 31 August 2007 ; 2007 ; 0769529372 (ISBN); 9780769529370 (ISBN) ; Habibi, J ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
In the last two decades, a number of architecture-based software development notations, methods, techniques, and tools were formulated. Of particular interest to the software architecture researchers and practitioners were the notations and languages for modeling software architectures, known as ADLs. Object Stochastic Activity Network (OSAN) is a new model which inherits useful features from Petri nets, stochastic activity networks and queue networks, which made it a powerful and flexible tool to model concurrent systems and evaluate and verify them. This paper introduces OSAN as a new analyzable architecture description language, which can be used both for modeling architectural aspects of...
An Architecture Description Language for Software Product Line
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Habibi, Jafar (Supervisor)
Abstract
Software Product Line is known as a process of developing family of the software together. The methods of building a software product line is trying to capture commonality and variety of this family of software and form a product line based on them. Commonality of this family of the software allows us reuse in every aspect of the development of software. Nowadays, software architecture as a one of the most important aspect of software engineering, plays major role in specifying the tasks and clearing the relationship between people. It can divide large and complex system to some sub-system and overcome complexity of the system. Software architecture forms a basis for communication among...
An aspect enhanced method of NFR modeling in software architecture
, Article 10th International Conference on Information Technology, ICIT 2007, Rourkela, 17 December 2007 through 20 December 2007 ; 2007 , Pages 240-242 ; 0769530680 (ISBN); 9780769530680 (ISBN) ; Mirian Hosseinabadi, H ; Chiniforooshan Esfahani, H ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
Existence of crosscutting concerns in software requirements often intensifies complexity of software development process. Modeling and analyzing of these concerns in the software architecture decrease possibility of finding tangled and complex components in the ultimate design. Aspect oriented ADLs have emerged to overcome this problem; however, imposing radical changes to existing architectural modeling methods is not easily acceptable by architects. In this paper, we present a method to enhance conventional software architecture description languages through utilization of aspect features with special focuses on non-functional requirements (NFRs). © 2007 IEEE
An evaluation method for aspectual modeling of distributed software architectures
, Article 6th IEEE/ACS International Conference on Computer Systems and Applications, AICCSA 2008, Doha, 31 March 2008 through 4 April 2008 ; 2008 , Pages 903-908 ; 9781424419685 (ISBN) ; Montaghami, V ; Safi, G ; Mirian Hosseinabadi, S. H ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
Dealing with crosscutting requirements in software development usually makes the process more complex. Modeling and analyzing of these requirements in the software architecture facilitate detecting architectural risks early. Distributed systems have more complexity and so these facilities are much useful in development of such systems. Aspect oriented Architectural Description Languages(ADL) have emerged to represent solutions for discussed problems; nevertheless, imposing radical changes to existing architectural modeling methods is not easily acceptable by architects. Software architecture analysis methods, furthermore, intend to verify that the quality requirements have been addressed...
Injecting security as aspectable NFR into software architecture
, Article 14th Asia Pacific Software Engineering Conference, ASPCE 2007, Nagoya, 4 December 2007 through 7 December 2007 ; January , 2007 , Pages 310-317 ; 15301362 (ISSN); 0769530575 (ISBN); 9780769530574 (ISBN) ; Mirian Hosseinabadi, H ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
Complexity of the software development process is often increased by actuality of crosscutting concerns in software requirements; moreover, Software security as a particular non-functional requirement of software systems is often addressed late in the software development process. Modeling and analyzing of these concerns and especially security in the software architecture facilitate detecting architectural vulnerabilities, decrease costs of the software maintenance, and reduce finding tangled and complex components in the ultimate design. Aspect oriented ADLs have emerged to overcome this problem; however, imposing radical changes to existing architectural modeling methods is not easily...
