Software Architecture Design

A good software architecture design is crucial in successfully realising an object-oriented analysis (OOA) specification with an object-oriented design (OOD) model that meets the specification's functional and non-functional requirements. Most CASE tools and software architecture design notations do not adequately support software architecture modelling and analysis, integration with OOA and OOD methods and tools, and high-level, dynamic architectural visualisations of running systems. We describe SoftArch, an environment that provides flexible software architecture modelling using a concept of successive refinement and an extensible architecture meta-model. SoftArch provides extensible analysis tools enabling developers to analyse their architecture model properties. Run-time visualisation of systems uses dynamic annotation and animation of high-level architectural modelling views. SoftArch is integrated with a component-based CASE tool and run-time monitoring tool, and has facilities for 3rd party tool integration through a common exchange format. This paper discusses the motivation for SoftArch, its modelling, analysis and dynamic visualisation capabilities, and its integration with various analysis, design and implementation tools.

AbstractAn object-oriented medical database management system is presented for a typical cardiologic center, facilitating epidemiological trials. Object-oriented analysis and design were used for the system design, offering advantages for the integrity and extendibility of medical information systems. The system was developed using object-oriented design and programming methodology, the C++ language and the Borland Paradox Relational Data Base Management System on an MS-Windows NT environment. Particular attention was paid to system compatibility, portability, the ease of use, and the suitable design of the patient record so as to support the decisions of medical personnel in cardiovascular centers. The system was designed to accept complex, heterogeneous, distributed data in various formats and from different kinds of examinations such as Holter, Doppler and electrocardiography.

Software Engineering Research

Software engineering is a discipline utilizing Unified Modelling Language (UML) diagrams, which are accepted as a standard to depict object-oriented design models. UML diagrams make it easier to identify the requirements and scopes of systems and applications by providing visual models. In this manner, this study aims to systematically review the literature on UML diagram utilization in software engineering research. A comprehensive review was conducted over the last two decades, spanning from 2000 to 2019. Among several papers, 128 were selected and examined. The main findings showed that UML diagrams were mostly used for the purpose of design and modeling, and class diagrams were the most commonly used ones.
