63、結(jié)構(gòu)的起源、定義及其在軟件項目開發(fā)中的作用。那么，目前軟件體系結(jié)構(gòu)的現(xiàn)狀如何呢？軟件體系結(jié)構(gòu)的發(fā)展趨勢又是什么呢？這就是本文要介紹的內(nèi)容。</p><p>　　目前，軟件體系結(jié)構(gòu)尚處在迅速發(fā)展之中，越來越多的研究人員正在把注意力投向軟件體系結(jié)構(gòu)的研究。用于對軟件體系進(jìn)行規(guī)格描述的模型、標(biāo)記法和工具仍很不正規(guī)。盡管這些不正規(guī)的模型是有用的，為使之更為精確和健壯，在很多方面的研究工作還需要繼續(xù)進(jìn)行。 </p&g

64、t;<p>　　關(guān)于軟件體系結(jié)構(gòu)的研究工作主要在國外展開的，國內(nèi)到目前為止對于軟件體系結(jié)構(gòu)的研究尚處在起步階段。軟件體系結(jié)構(gòu)在國內(nèi)未引起人們廣泛注意的原因主要有兩點： </p><p>　　軟件體系結(jié)構(gòu)從表面上看起來是一個老話題，似乎沒有新東西。</p><p>　　與國外相比，國內(nèi)對大型和超大型復(fù)雜軟件系統(tǒng)開發(fā)的經(jīng)歷相對較少，對軟件危機(jī)的災(zāi)難性體會沒有國外深刻，因而對軟件體

65、系結(jié)構(gòu)研究的重要性和必要性的認(rèn)識還不很充分。</p><p>　　自20世紀(jì)90年代后期以來，軟件體系結(jié)構(gòu)的研究成為一個熱點。廣大軟件工作者已經(jīng)認(rèn)識到軟件體系結(jié)構(gòu)研究的重大意義和它對軟件系統(tǒng)設(shè)計開發(fā)的重要性，開展了很多研究和實踐工作。 </p><p>　　從軟件體系結(jié)構(gòu)研究的現(xiàn)狀來看，當(dāng)前的研究和對軟件體系結(jié)構(gòu)的描述，在很大程度上來說還停留在非形式化的基礎(chǔ)上。軟件構(gòu)架師仍然缺乏必要的工具

66、，這種工具應(yīng)該是顯式描述的、有獨立性的形式化工具。</p><p>　　在目前通用的軟件開發(fā)方法中，其描述通常是用非形式化的圖和文本，不能描述系統(tǒng)期望的存在于構(gòu)件之間的接口，不能描述不同的組成系統(tǒng)的組合關(guān)系的意義。難以被開發(fā)人員理解，更不能用來分析其一致性和完整性等特性。</p><p>　　當(dāng)一個軟件系統(tǒng)中的構(gòu)件之間幾乎以一種非形式化的方法描述時，系統(tǒng)的重用性也會受到影響，在設(shè)計一個系統(tǒng)

67、結(jié)構(gòu)過程中的努力很難移植到另一個系統(tǒng)中去。對系統(tǒng)構(gòu)件和連接關(guān)系的結(jié)構(gòu)化假設(shè)沒有得到顯式的、形式化的描述時，把這樣的系統(tǒng)構(gòu)件移植到另一個系統(tǒng)中去將是有風(fēng)險的，甚至是不可能的。 </p><p>　　軟件體系結(jié)構(gòu)研究如果僅僅停留在非形式化的框圖階段，已經(jīng)難以適應(yīng)進(jìn)一步發(fā)展的需要。為支持基于體系結(jié)構(gòu)的開發(fā)，需要有形式化建模符號、體系結(jié)構(gòu)說明的分析與開發(fā)工具。從軟件體系結(jié)構(gòu)研究的現(xiàn)狀來看，在這一領(lǐng)域近來已經(jīng)有不少進(jìn)展，其

68、中比較有代表性的是美國卡耐基梅隆大學(xué)（Carnegie Mellon University）的Robert J．A11en于l997年提出的Wright系統(tǒng)。Wright是-種結(jié)構(gòu)描述語言，該語言基于一種形式化的、抽象的系統(tǒng)模型，為描述和分析軟件體系結(jié)構(gòu)和結(jié)構(gòu)化方法提供了一種實用的工具。Wright主要側(cè)重于描述系統(tǒng)的軟件構(gòu)件和連接的結(jié)構(gòu)、配置和方法。它使用顯式的、獨立的連接模型來作為交互的方式，這使得該系統(tǒng)可以用邏輯謂詞符號系統(tǒng)，而不

69、依賴特定的系統(tǒng)實例來描述系統(tǒng)的抽象行為。該系統(tǒng)還可以通過一組靜態(tài)檢查來判斷系統(tǒng)結(jié)構(gòu)規(guī)格說明的一致性和完整性。從這些特性的分析來說，Wright系統(tǒng)的確適用于對大型系統(tǒng)的描述和分析。</p><p>　　研究軟件體系結(jié)構(gòu)的首要問題是如何表示軟件體系結(jié)構(gòu)，即如何對軟件體系結(jié)構(gòu)建模。根據(jù)建模的側(cè)重點的不同，可以將軟件體系結(jié)構(gòu)的模型分為5種：結(jié)構(gòu)模型、框架模型、動態(tài)模型、過程模型和功能模型。在這5個模型中，最常用的是結(jié)構(gòu)

70、模型和動態(tài)模型。</p><p><b>　　結(jié)構(gòu)模型</b></p><p>　　這是一個最直觀、最普遍的建模方法。這種方法以體系結(jié)構(gòu)的構(gòu)件、連接件和其他概念來刻畫結(jié)構(gòu)，并力圖通過結(jié)構(gòu)來反映系統(tǒng)的重要語義內(nèi)容，包括系統(tǒng)的配置、約束、隱含的假設(shè)條件、風(fēng)格、性質(zhì)。研究結(jié)構(gòu)模型的核心是體系結(jié)構(gòu)描述語言。</p><p>　　框架模型框架模型與結(jié)構(gòu)模

71、型類似，但它不太側(cè)重描述結(jié)構(gòu)的細(xì)節(jié)而更側(cè)重于整體的框架模型主要以一些特殊的問題為目標(biāo)建立只針對和適應(yīng)該問題的結(jié)構(gòu)。 </p><p><b>　　動態(tài)模型</b></p><p>　　動態(tài)模型是對結(jié)構(gòu)或框架模型的補(bǔ)充，研究系統(tǒng)的"大顆粒"的行為性質(zhì)。例如，描述系統(tǒng)的重新配置或演化。動態(tài)可能指系統(tǒng)總體結(jié)構(gòu)的配置、建立或拆除通信通道或計算的過程。這類系

72、統(tǒng)常是激勵型的。</p><p>　　過程模型過程模型研究構(gòu)造系統(tǒng)的步驟和過程。因而結(jié)構(gòu)是遵循某些過程腳本的結(jié)果。 </p><p>　　該模型認(rèn)為體系結(jié)構(gòu)是由一組功能構(gòu)件按層次組成，下層向上層提供服務(wù)。它可以看作是一種特殊的框架模型。這5種模型各有所長，也許將5種模型有機(jī)地統(tǒng)一在一起，形成一個完整的模型來刻畫軟件體系結(jié)構(gòu)更合適。例如，Kruchten在1995年提出了一個"4+

73、1"的視角模型。"4+1"模型從5個不同的視角包括邏輯視角、過程視角、物理視角、開發(fā)視角和場景視角來描述軟件體系結(jié)構(gòu)。每一個視角只關(guān)心系統(tǒng)的一個側(cè)面，5個視角結(jié)合在一起才能夠反映系統(tǒng)的軟件體系結(jié)構(gòu)的全部內(nèi)容。"4+1"模型如圖1所示。</p><p>　　圖1 "4+1"模型</p><p>　　軟件開發(fā)模型是跨越整個軟

74、件生存周期的系統(tǒng)開發(fā)、運行、維護(hù)所實施的全部工作和任務(wù)的結(jié)構(gòu)框架，給出了軟件開發(fā)活動各階段之間的關(guān)系。目前，常見的軟件開發(fā)模型大致可分為三種類型:</p><p>　　以軟件需求完全確定為前提的瀑布模型。</p><p>　　在軟件開發(fā)初始階段只能提供基本需求時采用的漸進(jìn)式開發(fā)模型,如螺旋模型等。以形式化開發(fā)方法為基礎(chǔ)的變換模型。</p><p>　　所有開發(fā)方法都

75、是要解決需求與實現(xiàn)之間的差距。但是，這三種類型的軟件開發(fā)模型都存在這樣或那樣的缺陷，不能很好地支持基于軟件體系結(jié)構(gòu)的開發(fā)過程。因此，研究人員在發(fā)展基于體系結(jié)構(gòu)的軟件開發(fā)模型方面做了一定的工作。例如，為了形象地表示體系結(jié)構(gòu)的生命周期，北京郵電大學(xué)的周瑩新博士建立了一個軟件體系結(jié)構(gòu)的生命周期模型。 </p><p>　　軟件體系結(jié)構(gòu)的開發(fā)是大型軟件系統(tǒng)開發(fā)的關(guān)鍵環(huán)節(jié)。體系結(jié)構(gòu)在軟件生產(chǎn)線的開發(fā)中具有至關(guān)重要的作用，在

76、這種開發(fā)生產(chǎn)中，基于同一個軟件體系結(jié)構(gòu)，可以創(chuàng)建具有不同功能的多個系統(tǒng)。在軟件產(chǎn)品族之間共享體系結(jié)構(gòu)和一組可重用的構(gòu)件，可以增加軟件工程和降低開發(fā)和維護(hù)成本。 一個產(chǎn)品線代表著一組具有公共的系統(tǒng)需求集的軟件系統(tǒng)，它們都是根據(jù)基本的用戶需求對標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的產(chǎn)品線構(gòu)架進(jìn)行定制，將可重用構(gòu)件與系統(tǒng)獨有的部分集成而得到的。采用軟件生產(chǎn)線式模式進(jìn)行軟件生產(chǎn)，將產(chǎn)生巨型編程企業(yè)。但目前生產(chǎn)的軟件產(chǎn)品族大部分是處于同一領(lǐng)域的。</p>

77、<p>　　當(dāng)前，體系結(jié)構(gòu)仍是一個非常新的研究領(lǐng)域，其概念還相當(dāng)模糊。但軟件體系結(jié)構(gòu)作為軟件工程領(lǐng)域中的一個組成部分，已經(jīng)取得了長足的發(fā)展，受到大多數(shù)軟件系統(tǒng)設(shè)計和研究人員的重視。</p><p>　　軟件體系結(jié)構(gòu)目前較活躍的研究方向包括：軟件體系結(jié)構(gòu)形式基礎(chǔ)的研究；針對軟件體系結(jié)構(gòu)描述中特有的問題研究新的專門的高級語言；建立用于度量和評價軟件體系結(jié)構(gòu)的模型和方法；建立面向?qū)ｉT領(lǐng)域的軟件體系結(jié)構(gòu)范型庫。

78、把軟件體系結(jié)構(gòu)從目前的直覺和經(jīng)驗狀態(tài)過渡到理論。</p><p>　　在提高軟件工程師對軟件系統(tǒng)的描述和理解能力中，雖然軟件體系結(jié)構(gòu)描述起著重要作用，但這些抽象的描述通常是非形式化的和隨意的。體系結(jié)構(gòu)設(shè)計經(jīng)常難以理解，難以適于進(jìn)行形式化分析和模擬，缺乏相應(yīng)的支持工具幫助構(gòu)架師完成設(shè)計工作。為了解決這個問題，用于描述和推理的形式化語言得以發(fā)展，這些語言就叫做體系結(jié)構(gòu)描述語言（Architecture Descrip

79、tion Language）, ADLs尋求增加軟件體系結(jié)構(gòu)設(shè)計的可理解性和重用性。</p><p>　　ADL是這樣一種語言，系統(tǒng)構(gòu)架師可以利用它所提供的特性進(jìn)行軟件系統(tǒng)概念體系結(jié)構(gòu)建模。ADL提供了具體的語法與刻畫體系結(jié)構(gòu)的概念框架。ADLs使得系統(tǒng)開發(fā)者能夠很好地描述他們設(shè)計的體系結(jié)構(gòu)，以便與人交流，能夠用提供的工具對許多實例進(jìn)行分析。</p><p>　　這種描述語言的目的就是提供

80、一種規(guī)范化的體系結(jié)構(gòu)描述，從而使得體系結(jié)構(gòu)的自動化分析變得可能。研究人員已經(jīng)設(shè)計出了近二十種ADLs，比較有影響力的有C2、UniCon、MetaH、Aesop、SADL、Rapide、Wright等。這些語言能夠?qū)w系結(jié)構(gòu)連接器進(jìn)行第一級抽象，同時還能描述模型的結(jié)構(gòu)和內(nèi)部構(gòu)件之間的交互作用，并且還引入了一些新的系統(tǒng)分析模式。</p><p>　　這方面的工作主要是對軟件工程師在軟件開發(fā)實踐中得來的各種體系結(jié)構(gòu)的

81、原則、模式的整理和分類。例如，對軟件體系結(jié)構(gòu)風(fēng)格的分類和比較，對體系結(jié)構(gòu)描述語言的綜合分析等。就目前看來，國內(nèi)對軟件體系結(jié)構(gòu)的研究主要集中在對軟件體系結(jié)構(gòu)的專門知識的整理上。</p><p>　　最近，開發(fā)特定的領(lǐng)域去為產(chǎn)品提供可重用框架日益受到關(guān)注。這些開發(fā)基于這樣的想法：可以提取相關(guān)系統(tǒng)中的共同方面，以便可以通過低成本地把這些共同的設(shè)計實例化來構(gòu)筑新系統(tǒng)。常見的例子有：</p><p>

82、;　　編譯器的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)分解。這個方法可以使一個本科生在一個學(xué)期時間內(nèi)構(gòu)造一個新的語言編譯系統(tǒng)。</p><p>　　標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化的通訊協(xié)議。這個可以使廠家通過在不同層次的抽象上提供服務(wù)來互相操縱。第四代語言。利用4GL開發(fā)出商務(wù)信息處理的通用范式。用戶界面工具和框架。這個方法為開發(fā)者提供了一個可重用框架以及象菜單、對話框這樣的可重用構(gòu)件的集合。</p><p>　　軟件體系結(jié)構(gòu)充當(dāng)一個理解系統(tǒng)構(gòu)件和

83、它們之間關(guān)系的框架，特別是那些始終跨越時間和實現(xiàn)的屬性。這個理解對于現(xiàn)在系統(tǒng)的分析和未來系統(tǒng)的綜合很有必要。在分析和支持下，體系結(jié)構(gòu)抓住領(lǐng)域知識和實際的一致，促進(jìn)設(shè)計的評估和構(gòu)件的實施，減少仿真和構(gòu)造原型。在綜合的支持下，體系結(jié)構(gòu)提供了建立系列產(chǎn)品的基礎(chǔ)，以可預(yù)測的方式利用領(lǐng)域知識構(gòu)造和維護(hù)模塊、子系統(tǒng)和系統(tǒng)。 </p><p>　　對體系結(jié)構(gòu)設(shè)計的推理的形式化表示使得體系結(jié)構(gòu)級的設(shè)計更好地被理解、被實現(xiàn)。它的目

84、的是對體系結(jié)構(gòu)設(shè)計人員在實踐過程中總結(jié)出來的一些設(shè)計的經(jīng)驗和方法加以總結(jié)、概括，從而形成一個形式化的描述，形成一定的理論基礎(chǔ)(以代替當(dāng)前的不精確的研究)。已提出一些形式化機(jī)制，如過程代數(shù)、偏序集合、化學(xué)抽象機(jī)等。希望對系統(tǒng)的非功能特性如性能、可維護(hù)性等給出形式特征，同時給出軟件體系結(jié)構(gòu)的理論。</p><p>　　通過分析來預(yù)見軟件的質(zhì)量，通過分析來創(chuàng)建、選擇、評估與比較不同的體系結(jié)構(gòu)。例如，Kazman等人在2
