From the thesis: This thesis describes a research project with the goal of creating a reference architecture for big data solutions. Big data is an evolution of the field business intelligence and at the same time a revolution in terms of the business value it can bring to organizations. Cloud computing …

Abstract-Architecture Compliance Checking (ACC) is an approach to verify the conformance of implemented program code to high-level models of architectural design. ACC is used to prevent architectural erosion during the development and evolution of a software system. Static ACC, based on static software …

Software reference architectures have been around for quite some years. They have been designed and used with varying success. We have conducted an exploratory survey among software architects and developers to establish the extent to which SRA have penetrated among practitioners and to identify the …

Software-Defined Receivers (SDR) are radio receivers that contain as few hardware components as possible. In such a receiver, the signal processing block then starts as close as possible after the antenna, and is carried out with scripts running on a general-purpose processor contrary to traditional …

Rapid creation of new services for telecommunications systems is hindered by the feature interaction problem. This is an important issue for development of IN services, not only because of interactions\namong IN services themselves but because of interactions of IN services with switch-based services …
