Abstract

Complex and large software-intensive systems are increasingly present in several application domains, including Industry 4.0, connected health, smart cities, and smart agriculture, to mention a few. These systems are commonly composed of diverse other systems often developed by different organizations using various technologies and, as a consequence, interoperability among these systems becomes difficult. Many architectural strategies for interoperability have already been proposed; however, selecting adequate strategies is challenging. Additionally, it lacks an overview of such strategies. This work presents TASIS, a typology of architectural strategies for the interoperability of software-intensive systems. We also validated it with 33 practitioners from different countries with an extensive experience in integration projects. This work also offers 12 industry-based association rules that suggest how to combine those strategies to mitigate issues at different interoperability levels. As a result, our typology can serve as a starting point to further aggregate new strategies and, ultimately, supports software architects in designing interoperability-driven architectural solutions.

TASIS：软件密集型系统互操作性架构战略类型学

复杂的大型软件密集型系统越来越多地出现在多个应用领域，包括工业 4.0、互联健康、智慧城市和智慧农业等。这些系统通常由不同的其他系统组成，这些系统通常由不同的组织使用不同的技术开发而成，因此，这些系统之间的互操作性变得十分困难。目前已经提出了许多互操作性的架构策略，但是，选择适当的策略具有挑战性。此外，还缺乏对这些策略的概述。这项工作提出了 TASIS，一种软件密集型系统互操作性架构策略类型学。我们还与来自不同国家、在集成项目中拥有丰富经验的 33 位从业人员进行了验证。这项工作还提供了 12 条基于行业的关联规则，建议如何将这些策略结合起来，以减轻不同互操作性层面的问题。因此，我们的类型学可以作为进一步汇总新策略的起点，并最终支持软件架构师设计互操作性驱动的架构解决方案。

期刊介绍： The quality of software, well-defined interfaces (hardware and software), the process of digitalisation, and accepted standards in these fields are essential for building and exploiting complex computing, communication, multimedia and measuring systems. Standards can simplify the design and construction of individual hardware and software components and help to ensure satisfactory interworking. Computer Standards & Interfaces is an international journal dealing specifically with these topics. The journal • Provides information about activities and progress on the definition of computer standards, software quality, interfaces and methods, at national, European and international levels • Publishes critical comments on standards and standards activities • Disseminates user''s experiences and case studies in the application and exploitation of established or emerging standards, interfaces and methods • Offers a forum for discussion on actual projects, standards, interfaces and methods by recognised experts • Stimulates relevant research by providing a specialised refereed medium.
