TL;DR: The paper describes how the software architecture achieves considerable hardware and product independence for the different product executions through separation of concerns, layering and strict interfaces.
Abstract: This paper presents the Philips-OpenTV product family architecture of Philips Digital Networks. The Philips-OpenTV product family consists of several set-top box products that serve different customers and markets. The paper describes how the software architecture achieves considerable hardware and product independence for the different product executions. Among others, this is achieved through separation of concerns, layering and strict interfaces. Some practical examples and experiences are described that illustrate the suitability of the architecture to accommodate change.

TL;DR: The plan focuses in the exploration and integration of system architecture, desirable properties and development frameworks for distributed system, especially considering the e-government applications.
Abstract: At the present time, information systems affect all aspects of our life, due to the technological advance in communications, in particular, the increase of wireless networks, ad-hoc, mobile devices, that provide access to the information. The implementation of secure and high quality distributed systems and applications is highly required. Such systems can be implemented in a small, medium and large scale. For the scaling of a system or application is required to consider the properties and qualities of the distribution, as well as drawbacks. E-Government is one of the most complex and important sectors for the application of technological development in information systems. An important aspect for the development and efficiency of distributed systems is the design paradigm or architectural style. The selection and development of a framework is an essential part for implementing a system architecture, because the framework allows connection between the concepts of architecture and platform. The plan focuses in the exploration and integration of system architecture, desirable properties and development frameworks for distributed system, especially considering the e-government applications.

TL;DR: A review of architecture characteristics, approaches, styles, and standards that are commonly considered for the development of autonomous systems is described, as well as the standards used in this field.
Abstract: The design of Autonomous Systems must consider multiple elements of the system, such as agents, physical objects and their software counterparts, control mechanisms, sensors, actuators, and other components. All these distributed elements in the environment make the necessity of creating multiple views for design, including system coordination, development, structural, and behavior views. Therefore, Software/Systems Architectures have been recognized as an important element in process development to manage the systems' complexity. The objective of this article is to describe a review of architecture characteristics, approaches, styles, and standards that are commonly considered for the development of autonomous systems. First, we describe important elements of software architecture, as well as the standards used in this field. Then, we describe the types of approaches for architecture design. In addition, we provide a classification of software/systems architectures for autonomous systems. As a result, we present a review on the Software/Systems Architecture description for Autonomous Systems. We also find that formal architecture standards are rarely considered in practice, and a large variety of nonfunctional requirements is mentioned. As autonomous systems deal with many components interacting with the real world, under certain quality constraints, considering trade-offs and decisions, software/system architectures are highly relevant for managing all this complexity. A list of main challenges for autonomous systems is described and then discussed according to a review of the literature. This review can be useful for professionals and researchers in identifying software/systems architecture as an important technical element for developing autonomous systems.

TL;DR: The architecture allowing efficient resource and security control is presented, including detaileduml diagrams capturing the management functionality, as well as a set of concrete management policies for thealan scenario.
Abstract: This paper presents the details of the policy-based security and resource management architecture for Application Level Active Network (alan) servers.alan is an active network architecture which enables deployment of user-customised processes (proxylets), which enhance the existing services or introduce new services to the end-user, on the select group of servers in anip network. The issues of security and resource management in this scenario are of crucial importance so as to efficiently facilitate and control the resource consumption of user-specified processes on the active servers, as well as to protect the server platforms from unauthorised proxylet deployment or malevolent behaviour. The architecture allowing efficient resource and security control is presented in this paper, including detaileduml diagrams capturing the management functionality, as well as a set of concrete management policies for thealan scenario. The examplexml policies are also given, and the deployment of this architecture in real-life trials is described. This development forms a part of a larger management architecture foralan-enabled networks developed in the context of theist projectandroid (Active Network DistRibuted Open Infrastructure Development).
