An adequate architectural description for reference architectures is essential for their effective use and dissemination. Nonetheless, previous studies have pointed out that the architecture description of reference architectures often presents only informal, textual descriptions, which are ambiguity prone. The main purpose of this study is to discuss directions for a precise, comprehensive description which can support the specification, analysis, and realization of reference architectures. To do so, we investigate which and how formal methods could be introduced for describing reference architectures. Considering that components can be used for realizing reference architectures, we also investigate how they could be expressed in such a formal description. In particular, we focus on embedded systems due to the sophistication required for systems in this domain. With this study, we intend to contribute to the reference architecture community with directions for promoting a formal, precise architectural description.","PeriodicalId":350130,"journal":{"name":"2015 1st International Workshop on Exploring Component-based Techniques for Constructing Reference Architectures (CobRA)","volume":"33 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120906852","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

IoT environments are characterized by a high degree of heterogeneity, encompassing devices with different capabilities, functionalities, and network protocols. To address such a heterogeneity, some platforms have been proposed aiming at abstracting away the specificities of such devices and promoting interoperability among them. Nevertheless, the lack of standardization in IoT makes these platforms to often not properly address several important requirements in this context. In this context, reference architectures can de ne an initial set of building blocks for IoT environments and to provide a solid foundation for leveraging its wide adoption. In this paper, we introduce two recent reference architectures for IoT, namely the IoT Architectural Reference Model and the architecture proposed by WSO2. By analyzing the characteristics of these architectures, we intend to shed light on important issues for future research on reference architectures for IoT.","PeriodicalId":350130,"journal":{"name":"2015 1st International Workshop on Exploring Component-based Techniques for Constructing Reference Architectures (CobRA)","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124620784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several VM tools developed in academia and industry support mass customization of new software products and decrease time to market. Despite of a signi cant number of VM tools, in most cases, industry has adopted different techniques for managing variability, including producing their own tools. Such a heterogeneity provides difficulties in establishing VM, product customization and derivation, and standardization. From another perspective, reference architectures (RA) are a special type of software architecture as it encompasses specific domain knowledge, making it easier the development, standardization and evolution of software systems. Concepts from reference architectures can mitigate the lacking of VM tools standardization. Therefore, this position paper presents a vision towards supporting architectural standardization of VM tools, through reference architectures, for achieving a well-recognized understanding of such a domain and promoting reuse of design expertise. In this context, the main contribution of this paper is providing a discussion with regard to reference architectures and variability management tools towards supporting answering the following research question: Do reference architectures can contribute to standardizing VM tools?\". Such standardization is useful as it fosters interoperability and reuse.","PeriodicalId":350130,"journal":{"name":"2015 1st International Workshop on Exploring Component-based Techniques for Constructing Reference Architectures (CobRA)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125541478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
