  • a Reference Architecture for scientific virtual laboratories
    Future Generation Computer Systems, 2001
    Co-Authors: Hamideh Afsarmanesh, Ersin Cem Kaletas, Ammar Benabdelkader, César Garita, Louis O. Hertzberger
    Abstract:

    Abstract Recent advances in the IT can be applied to properly support certain complex requirements in the scientific and engineering domains. In experimental sciences, for instance, researchers should be assisted with conducting their complex scientific experimentation and supporting their collaboration with other scientists. The main requirements identified in such domains include the management of large data sets, distributed collaboration support, and high-performance issues, among others. The virtual laboratory project initiated at the University of Amsterdam aims at the development of a hardware and software Reference Architecture, and an open, flexible, and configurable laboratory framework to enable scientists and engineers with working on their experimentation problems, while making optimum use of modern information technology approaches. This paper describes the current stage of design of a Reference Architecture for this scientific virtual laboratory, and focuses further on the cooperative information management component of this Architecture, and exemplifying its application to experimentation domain of biology.

  • A Reference Architecture for Web browsers
    21st IEEE International Conference on Software Maintenance (ICSM'05), 2005
    Co-Authors: A. Grosskurth, M.w. Godfrey
    Abstract:

    A Reference Architecture for a domain captures the fundamental subsystems common to systems of that domain as well as the relationships between these subsystems. Having a Reference Architecture available can aid both during maintenance and at design time: it can improve understanding of a given system, it can aid in analyzing tradeoffs between different design options, and it can serve as a template for designing new systems and re-engineering existing ones. In this paper, we examine the history of the Web browser domain and identify several underlying phenomena that have contributed to its evolution. We develop a Reference Architecture for Web browsers based on two well known open source implementations, and we validate it against two additional implementations. Finally, we discuss our observations about this domain and its evolutionary history; in particular, we note that the significant reuse of open source components among different browsers and the emergence of extensive Web standards have caused the browsers to exhibit "convergent evolution".
