Who will speak on:
Dependency Models to Manage Software Architecture

Wednesday, May 25, 2005

366 West Village H
Northeastern University

Abstract:
This talk will present a Dependency Structure Matrix (DSM) based
approach to specify and manage the architecture of large software
systems. The system is decomposed into a hierarchy of subsystems with
the dependencies between the subsystems presented in the form of a matrix.

This yields a number of key benefits: The adaptation of DSM is highly
scalable compared to the directed graph approaches that are common
today. The specification is precise and architectural violations can be
checked automatically. Finally, there are a variety of matrix algorithms
that can be applied to organize the matrix in a form that reflects the
architecture and highlights patterns and problematic dependencies. The
talk will show the actual application of this technique to a real
open-source system to see how it can be used to discover, analyze and
manage existing systems.
