Process Architecture Study: Documentation
Overview
This document reports from a study conducted at Aalborg University.
The goal of the study was to examine the extent to which three
different paradigms support software developers in the design of a
suitable process architecture. The paradigms include an
object-oriented paradigm, an operating systems paradigm, and a
mathematical-logical paradigm. The term process architecture will be
defined later on. The goal of the study was expressed in the following
two questions:
- How does an experienced object-oriented programmer work
with process architecture design?
- What can the object-oriented paradigm learn from two classical
paradigms that incorporate a long tradition of dealing with
concurrency as an essential issue?
Based on these two an experiment was designed in order to answer the
questions. This document presents the setting for the experiment, the
actual design solutions of the experiment, descriptions of each
designer's process, reviews of the produced design solutions, and
finally a bibliography containing referred references. This can
be summerized in the following:
Description of the experiment.
- Transcripts of the design processes
- The design solutions.
- Reviews
of the design solution.
- Bibiliography.
