Towards an Assembly Language for Architectural Styles

Student: Nikunj Mehta

Advisor: Nenad Medvidovic

Abstract: Systematic and economic techniques that employ principles of software architecture, such as architectural style-based development, can be highly useful in the development of modern software systems. Although architectural styles have been discussed and cataloged for several years now, existing approaches provide little support for systematically employing architectural styles in software engineering practice. To remedy this, I am developing a framework for characterization, construction, analysis, and implementation of architectural style elements from shared architectural primitives - in short an assembly language for architectural styles.

Bio: Nikunj Mehta is a Ph.D. Candidate at University of Southern California. He works on the intersection of software engineering and distributed systems, with an aim to develop systematic techniques that can join the mainstream of software development. He has been a practicing software architect for several years, and has published at leading conferences in software engineering including ICSE and FSE.
