TL;DR: The authors examines racial segregation as a spatial system and proposes a conceptual framework for assessing its significance, and analyzes how the ideology of white supremacy influenced design form in the United States and how Jim Crow architecture appeared on the landscape.
Abstract: The article examines racial segregation as a spatial system and proposes a conceptual framework for assessing its significance. It analyzes how the ideology of white supremacy influenced design form in the United States and how Jim Crow architecture appeared on the landscape. For African Americans, the settings for everyday life were not simply the confines of this imposed architecture; the article analyzes responses such as the construction of alternative spaces. The discussion concludes by considering the architecture of segregation from the perspective of historic preservation.

TL;DR: This paper presents three different interactive floor concepts through an urban perspective it draws upon the experiences of floors in architecture, and provides a set of design issues for designing interactive floors.
Abstract: Within architecture, there is a long tradition of careful design of floors. The design has been concerned with both decorating floors and designing floors to carry information. Ubiquitous computing technology offers new opportunities for designing interactive floors. This paper presents three different interactive floor concepts. Through an urban perspective it draws upon the experiences of floors in architecture, and provides a set of design issues for designing interactive floors.

TL;DR: It is claimed that these challenges can be successfully addressed by agent-based software engineering (ABSE), which is considered to be distinct from object-oriented software engineering for multi-agent systems (OOSE for MAS) in its consideration of agent goal, role, context and attitude as first class objects.
Abstract: In this paper we identify challenges that confront the large-scale multi-agent system (LMAS) designer, and claim that these challenges can be successfully addressed by agent-based software engineering (ABSE), which we consider to be distinct from object-oriented software engineering for multi-agent systems (OOSE for MAS) in its consideration of agent goal, role, context and attitude as first class objects. We show how we have discovered these principles through our experiences in developing the RETSINA multi-agent system, in implementing specific test applications, and in the derivation of three distinct architectures that help guide and describe the designs of our systems: the individual agent architecture, the functional architecture, and the infrastructure architecture.

TL;DR: This document studies in some detail the recently developed concept of aspect at the architecture level, which introduces a novel kind of modularization and composition in software, and therefore it defines new structures which must be studied by Software Architecture, determining the architectural features of aspects.
Abstract: This document studies in some detail the recently developed concept of aspect at the architecture level. This concept introduces a novel kind of modularization and composition in software, and therefore it defines new structures which must be studied by Software Architecture, determining the architectural features of aspects. However the opposite strategy can also be considered; namely, a new conceptual model can be defined, including an architecture-level notion of aspect. This would provide a new abstraction to describe software structures, thus effectively providing an additional dimension in architecture description, and would enable the study of the specific compositional problems in this dimension. The document starts by addressing the relevance of this kind of study, and continues by discussing why the new notions are necessary. Then it continues by including a brief enumeration of the more relevant notions derived from this aspectual framework, with particular emphasis on their relationship with software components. Next the document explores the different forms in which these notions could be incorporated into the context of Software Architecture, revealing a rather extensive variety of approaches, and also the relationships and partial equivalences between them.The paper concludes by noting a number or open questions and futures areas of research within this context.
