“…DarwinFT: Extending Darwin with Fault Tolerance. In order to generate DarwinFT we compose the Darwin ADL with the IdealComponent UML profile presented in [9] for specifying software components according to the idealized fault tolerant component model [13]. Each ideal component is composed of both normal and exceptional parts and exceptions can either be signaled or handled through specific interfaces.…”

“…This task is performed by applying specific composition operators to metamodels extracted from the Metamodels Repository. The BYADL operators, namely Match, Inherit, Reference, and Expand, have been defined building on those presented in [9,33]. In particular, we made the operators proposed in [9] applicable on Ecore metamodels and we refined those introduced in [33] in order to lighten the composition process.…”

“…In this respect, semantics compatibility of metaclasses depends on the type of operator being applied. Figure 4 shows a simplified version of the first scenario, i.e., the extension of the Darwin metamodel (introduced in [23]) with the IdealComponent UML profile (proposed in [9]). In this scenario we use the inherit and the expand operators.…”

Despite the flourishing of languages to describe software architectures, existing Architecture Description Languages (ADLs) are still far away from what it is actually needed. In fact, while they support a traditional perception of a Software Architecture (SA) as a set of constituting elements (such as components, connectors and interfaces), they mostly fail to capture multiple stakeholders concerns and their design decisions that represent a broader view of SA being accepted today. Next generation ADLs must cope with various and ever evolving stakeholder concerns by employing semantic extension mechanisms.In this paper we present a framework, called BYADL -Build Your ADL, for developing a new generation of ADLs. BYADL exploits model-driven techniques that provide the needed technologies to allow a software architect, starting from existing ADLs, to define its own new generation ADL by: i) adding domain specificities, new architectural views, or analysis aspects, ii) integrating ADLs with development processes and methodologies, and iii) customizing ADLs by fine tuning them. The framework is put in practice in different scenarios showing the incremental extension and customization of the Darwin ADL.

“…To this extent, in this section, we describe a UML 2.0 Profile for specifying B3G-oriented SAs which take into account all the discussed properties. In particular, we exploit the Dually approach [17] [13] by extending it with the features needed to describe B3G SAs.…”

B3G is an emerging network technology which conceives the convergence of telecommunication and IP-based networks for providing enhanced services able to transfer both voice and non-voice data through wired and wireless networks. Moreover, B3G networks can be no longer considered as "passive" entities which only transport data between endpoints, but they must be considered as "active" parties that have their own behavior and provide services. This creates a completely new application domain where applying current software engineering design tools, such as software architectures, fails. In fact, dealing with B3G networks requires to explicit low-level details usually abstracted by the architectural descriptions. To this extent, we present an ongoing work on investigating B3Goriented application modeling. In particular, we propose an enhanced UML profile to define and analyze software architectures that explicitly exploit the B3G domain properties.

Conviviality-driven access control policy

et al. 2014

Nowadays many organizations experience security incidents due to unauthorized access to information. To reduce the risk of such incidents, security policies are often employed to regulate access to information. Such policies, however, are often too restrictive, and users do not have the rights necessary to perform assigned duties. As a consequence, access control mechanisms are perceived by users as a barrier and thus bypassed, making the system insecure. In this paper we draw a bridge between the social concept of conviviality and access control. Conviviality has been introduced as a social science concept for ambient intelligence and multi-agent systems to highlight soft qualitative requirements like user-friendliness of systems. To bridge the gap between conviviality and security, we propose a methodological framework for updating and adapting access control policies based on conviviality recommendations. Our methodology integrates and extends existing techniques to assist system designers in the derivation of access control policies from socio-technical requirements of the system, while taking into account the conviviality of the system. We illustrate our framework using the Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) use case from the HotCity of Luxembourg.
