多模态生成关键技术
多模态生成关键技术主要涉及以下几个方面：
1. 多模态数据的融合：多模态生成要求模型能够处理来自不同来源和格式的数据，例如文本、图像、音频和视频等。
这需要一种高效的数据融合策略，以便在不丢失信息的情况下将不同模态的数据整合在一起。
2. 多模态注意力机制：注意力机制能够让模型在处理不同模态的数据时，根据其他模态的信息来调整其输出。
在多模态生成任务中，这种机制可以帮助模型更好地理解不同模态之间的关系，从而生成更准确和连贯的输出。
3. 跨模态迁移学习：在多模态生成中，模型可能需要在不同模态之间迁移学习。
例如，一个模型可能需要从文本生成图像，或者从音频生成文本。
这需要一种跨模态迁移学习的策略，以便在不同模态之间共享知识和能力。
4. 对抗训练和鲁棒性：多模态生成任务往往涉及到对抗性攻击和噪声，例如在图像中添加干扰或修改文本。
这需要一种对抗训练和鲁棒性的策略，以便提高模型的稳健性和可靠性。
5. 可解释性和可信任性：多模态生成任务需要模型具有一定的可解释性和可信任性。
这可以通过可视化技术和元学习等方法来实现，以便让用户理解模型的决策过程并信任其输出。
总的来说，多模态生成关键技术涉及数据融合、注意力机制、迁移学习、对抗训练和可信任性等方面，需要综合运用多种方法和策略来实现高质量的多模态生成任务。
多模态生物特征融合技术研究与应用
多模态生物特征融合技术研究与应用概述多模态生物特征融合技术是指通过同时利用多个生物特征进行识别和认证的技术。
传统的生物特征识别技术常常只使用单一的生物特征，如指纹、面部或虹膜等。
然而，随着科技的发展，融合多个生物特征的技术正在逐渐成为识别和认证领域的研究热点。
本文将重点探讨多模态生物特征融合技术的研究进展和应用前景。
1. 多模态生物特征融合技术的原理与方法多模态生物特征融合技术通过综合利用多个生物特征，旨在提高识别和认证系统的准确性和可靠性。
这些生物特征可以包括指纹、面部、虹膜、声音、书写、步态等等。
生物特征的融合可以通过以下两种主要方法实现：1.1 特征级融合特征级融合主要是将不同生物特征的信息进行融合。
例如，将指纹和面部特征进行融合，可以使用融合算法将两者的特征表示进行合并，创建一个新的特征向量。
这样可以综合利用不同生物特征的优势，提高系统的准确性。
1.2 决策级融合决策级融合是通过融合不同特征的决策结果来进行最终的判断。
例如，可以分别使用指纹和虹膜进行识别，并将它们的决策结果进行融合，从而得到更可靠的识别结果。
决策级融合主要依赖于多个生物特征的独立识别算法和决策规则。
2. 多模态生物特征融合技术的研究进展多模态生物特征融合技术的研究在过去几十年中取得了显著的进展。
下面介绍几个关键的研究方向：2.1 特征选择与提取在融合不同生物特征之前，首先需要对每个特征进行选择和提取。
特征选择的目标是选取具有代表性和互补性的特征，以提高融合系统的性能。
特征提取则是从原始生物数据中提取出具有判别性的特征表示。
当前的研究主要集中在开发高效的特征选择和提取方法，以满足多模态融合的需求。
2.2 融合算法融合算法是实现多模态生物特征融合的关键。
不同生物特征的融合算法可以分为基于特征的和基于决策的两种类型。
基于特征的融合算法通过将不同特征的表示进行融合，从而得到一个综合的特征向量，进而进行识别和认证。
而基于决策的融合算法则通过融合不同特征的决策结果，从而得到最终的判断。
如何使用前馈神经网络进行自然语言生成(八)
前馈神经网络是一种常见的人工智能模型，它在自然语言生成领域有着广泛的应用。
自然语言生成是人工智能领域的一个重要分支，它涉及到计算机系统如何理解和生成人类语言。
在这篇文章中，我们将探讨如何使用前馈神经网络进行自然语言生成，并介绍其中的一些关键概念和技术。
神经网络是一种模仿人类大脑神经元运作方式的计算模型。
前馈神经网络是其中的一种类型，它由一个或多个神经元层组成，每一层都与下一层全连接。
这种网络结构使得神经网络能够从输入数据中提取特征并进行预测。
在自然语言生成中，前馈神经网络可以被用来生成文本、回答问题、进行对话等任务。
首先，为了使用前馈神经网络进行自然语言生成，我们需要准备一个数据集。
这个数据集可以是大量的文本数据，比如文章、小说、对话记录等。
然后，我们需要对数据进行预处理，包括分词、去除停用词、标记化等操作。
接下来，我们可以利用前馈神经网络模型来训练这些数据。
在训练过程中，我们需要将文本数据转换成数字向量形式，以便于神经网络的处理。
这个过程被称为嵌入（embedding），它可以将文本数据映射到一个高维空间中。
这样一来，我们就可以将文本数据输入到神经网络中进行训练。
在训练过程中，神经网络会不断地调整模型参数，使得模型能够更好地拟合数据。
在训练完成后，我们就可以使用训练好的前馈神经网络模型来进行自然语言生成。
这时，我们可以将一个输入文本传入模型中，然后模型会生成一个对应的输出文本。
这个输出文本可以是对输入文本的回答、对话的继续、文章的续写等等。
当然，在实际应用中，使用前馈神经网络进行自然语言生成还涉及到许多其他技术和方法。
比如，我们可以使用注意力机制（attention mechanism）来提高模型的生成能力，使得模型能够更好地理解输入文本的上下文信息。
我们还可以使用循环神经网络（recurrent neural network）来处理长文本序列的生成任务，以及使用生成对抗网络（generative adversarial network）来提高生成文本的质量。

注意力机制提取极化特征
注意力机制提取极化特征首先，我们需要明确什么是极化特征。
在情感分析、意见挖掘等任务中，我们通常需要判断一段文本或一张图像中所表达的情感极性，即正面、负面或中性。
极化特征表示的是文本或图像中包含的与情感相关的信息。
为了提取极化特征，我们可以使用注意力机制来自适应地选择输入数据中与情感极性有关的部分。
注意力机制可以根据输入数据的不同部分给予不同的权重，使得模型能够更加关注最重要的部分。
在自然语言处理任务中，我们常常使用循环神经网络（RNN）和注意力机制来提取极化特征。
以情感分类任务为例，我们可以使用双向长短时记忆网络（BiLSTM）作为编码器，将文本序列转化为向量序列。
然后，我们可以使用一个注意力机制来对这些向量序列进行加权求和，得到一个固定长度的向量表示，即极化特征。
具体地，我们可以使用一个全连接层来计算每个时间步上的注意力权重。
这个全连接层的输入是BiLSTM的输出，输出是一个权重向量。
然后，我们可以使用这个权重向量对BiLSTM的输出进行加权求和，得到一个加权后的表示。
最后，我们可以将这个加权后的表示作为极化特征输入给后续的分类器。
在计算机视觉任务中，我们也可以使用注意力机制来提取极化特征。
以图像情感分析为例，我们可以使用卷积神经网络（CNN）来提取图像的特征。
然后，我们可以使用一个注意力机制来对这些特征进行加权求和，得到一个固定长度的向量表示，即极化特征。
具体地，我们可以使用一个全连接层来计算每个图像区域的注意力权重。
这个全连接层的输入是CNN的输出，输出是一个权重向量。
然后，我们可以使用这个权重向量对CNN的输出进行加权求和，得到一个加权后的表示。
最后，我们可以将这个加权后的表示作为极化特征输入给后续的分类器。
总之，注意力机制在提取极化特征方面有着重要的应用。
通过使用注意力机制，我们可以自适应地选择输入数据中与情感极性有关的部分，从而提高模型对关键信息的关注度。
注意力机制已经在许多任务中取得了良好的效果，并成为深度学习中不可或缺的一环。

vertex attributes
vertex attributesVertex Attributes: Enhancing the Power of GraphsIntroductionGraph theory is a powerful mathematical tool that has found applications in various fields such as computer science, social networks, genetics, and transportation systems. Graphs consist of vertices (nodes) and edges (connections) that represent relationships between entities. While edges define the connections between vertices, vertex attributes provide additional information about individual vertices, making graphs more expressive and meaningful. This article explores the concept of vertex attributes, their importance, and their applications in different domains.Understanding Vertex AttributesVertex attributes refer to the characteristics or properties associated with each vertex in a graph. These attributes can be numerical or categorical, representing different types of information about the vertices. For example, in a social network graph, vertex attributes can include attributes such as age, gender, location, and occupation. In a transportation network, vertex attributes might include attributes such as the average daily traffic volume or the type of road.Importance of Vertex AttributesVertex attributes significantly enhance the power and flexibility of graph analysis. Here are some key reasons why vertex attributes are important:1. Enriched Information: Vertex attributes provide additional information about vertices, enabling a more comprehensive understanding of the graph's structure and dynamics. By incorporating attributes, graphs become more than just a collection of connections, but also a representation of the attributes associated with the entities being modeled.2. Contextual Analysis: Vertex attributes allow for context-aware analysis. By considering the attributes associated with vertices, researchers can gain insights into the specific characteristics of different entities within a graph. For example, analyzing attributes in a social network graph can revealpatterns of behavior among different age groups or genders.3. Enhanced Visualization: Vertex attributes can be leveraged to create visually appealing and informative graph visualizations. By mapping attributes to different visual properties such as color, size, or shape, it becomes easier to identify specific attributes within a large or complex graph. This improves interpretability and aids in effective data communication.4. Feature Extraction: Vertex attributes can be used as input features in machine learning and data mining algorithms. By leveraging attribute information, it becomes possible to develop predictive models or classification techniques that utilize the attributes associated with vertices to make accurate predictions or identify patterns.Applications of Vertex AttributesThe usage of vertex attributes is extensive across various domains. Here area few examples that highlight the practical applications:1. Social Networks: Vertex attributes are fundamental in social network analysis. They help identify influential individuals, detect communities, and predict user behavior based on attributes such as interests, location, and profession. This information is invaluable for targeted marketing, recommendation systems, and understanding social dynamics.2. Biological Networks: In genetics, vertex attributes can represent gene expression levels, DNA sequence properties, or protein interactions. Analyzing these attributes can aid in understanding biological processes, identifying disease markers, and predicting protein functions.3. Transportation Networks: In transportation systems, vertex attributes can include traffic flow, road accessibility, or pavement conditions. By incorporating these attributes, it becomes possible to optimize routes, identify congestion hotspots, and plan infrastructure improvements.4. Financial Networks: In finance, vertex attributes can represent characteristics such as credit rating, investment portfolio, or transaction history. Analyzing these attributes can facilitate risk assessment, fraud detection, and portfolio optimization.Challenges and Future DirectionsAlthough vertex attributes offer various advantages, there are challenges associated with their usage:1. Data Quality: Ensuring the accuracy, consistency, and completeness ofvertex attribute data can be challenging. In real-world scenarios, data may be missing or contain errors, hampering accurate analysis and interpretation. 2. Scalability: As graph sizes increase, managing and processing extensive vertex attribute data becomes computationally expensive. Developing efficient algorithms capable of handling large-scale attribute-rich graphs is necessary for scalable analysis.Looking ahead, here are some potential future directions for the study and utilization of vertex attributes:1. Attribute Inference: Developing algorithms or techniques to infer missing attributes from available data can help mitigate the data quality challenge and enhance the usability of graphs with incomplete information.2. Dynamic Attribute Analysis: Extending vertex attribute analysis to incorporate temporal or evolving attributes will enable the study of changing network behavior over time. This can be particularly beneficial in domains such as social networks or transportation systems where attributes can change dynamically.ConclusionVertex attributes play a vital role in enhancing the power of graph analysis. They provide additional information about individual vertices, enabling a deeper understanding of graph structures, context-aware analysis, and data-driven decision-making. The practical applications of vertex attributes span across various domains, facilitating the analysis of social, biological, transportation, and financial networks. However, the effective usage of vertex attributes requires addressing data quality issues and developing scalable algorithms. The future holds exciting possibilities for leveraging attributes to infer missing information and incorporating temporal dynamics into graph analysis, further elevating the utility of vertex attributes in various fields.。

预测蛋白转录因子的方法
预测蛋白转录因子的方法英文回答：Predicting protein transcription factors is a crucial task in understanding gene regulation and cellular processes. Various computational methods have been developed to identify potential transcription factors based on their sequence and structural features. These methods utilize machine learning algorithms, feature engineering techniques, and domain-specific knowledge to make predictions.One common approach is to train supervised machine learning models using a dataset of known transcription factors and non-transcription factors. The models are trained on a set of features extracted from protein sequences, such as amino acid composition, sequence motifs, and structural properties. Once trained, these models can predict the likelihood of a new protein being a transcription factor.Another approach involves unsupervised learning techniques, such as clustering and dimensionality reduction. These methods identify patterns and relationships withinthe data to group proteins with similar characteristics. By analyzing the clusters or reduced-dimensional representations, researchers can identify potential transcription factors based on their similarity to known factors.Sequence-based methods rely on the assumption that transcription factors share conserved sequence motifs or patterns. These methods scan protein sequences for known transcription factor binding sites or use sequencealignment techniques to identify homologous regions. By identifying these sequence features, they can predict proteins with a high probability of being transcription factors.Structural-based methods consider the three-dimensional structure of proteins to identify potential transcription factors. These methods analyze the protein's shape, surfaceproperties, and interactions with DNA or other proteins. By understanding the structural features associated with transcription factor activity, these methods can predict proteins with the necessary structural characteristics.In addition to these computational methods, experimental approaches, such as chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) and DNA affinity purification sequencing (DAP-seq), can also be used to identify transcription factors that bind to specific regions of DNA. These experimental techniques providedirect evidence of protein-DNA interactions and can be used to validate predictions made by computational methods.中文回答：预测蛋白质转录因子是一种了解基因调控和细胞过程的关键方法。

Nonlinear Systems and Dynamics
Nonlinear Systems and Dynamics Nonlinear systems and dynamics are an essential aspect of modern science and engineering. These systems are characterized by their complex behavior, which cannot be described by simple linear equations. Nonlinear systems are ubiquitous in nature, from the behavior of living organisms to the dynamics of the universe. Understanding these systems is crucial for developing new technologies, predicting and controlling complex phenomena, and advancing scientific knowledge.One of the most important features of nonlinear systems is their sensitivity to initial conditions. Small changes in the initial conditions of a nonlinear system can lead to significant differences in the system's behavior over time. This phenomenon, known as the butterfly effect, is a fundamental aspect of chaos theory. Chaos theory has broad applications in various fields, including meteorology, economics, and biology. The butterfly effect can be seen in many natural phenomena, such as weather patterns, the growth of populations, and the behavior of ecosystems.Nonlinear systems are also characterized by the presence of feedback loops. Feedback loops are essential for maintaining stability in complex systems. They allow the system to adjust its behavior in response to changes in its environment. Feedback loops can be positive or negative, depending on whether they amplify or dampen the system's response to external stimuli. Positive feedback loops can lead to runaway behavior, while negative feedback loops can stabilize the system.Another important aspect of nonlinear systems is their ability to exhibit oscillatory behavior. Oscillations are a fundamental feature of many natural phenomena, from the beating of a heart to the oscillation of a pendulum. Nonlinear systems can exhibit a wide range of oscillatory behavior, from simple periodic oscillations to chaotic oscillations. Understanding the dynamics of oscillatory systems is crucial for developing new technologies, such as electronic circuits, and for predicting and controlling complex phenomena, such as the spread of diseases.Nonlinear systems also play a crucial role in the study of complex networks. Complex networks are ubiquitous in nature and society, from the networks of neurons in the brain to the networks of social interactions between individuals.Understanding the dynamics of complex networks is crucial for developing new technologies, such as the internet, and for predicting and controlling complex phenomena, such as the spread of information or the emergence of new social behaviors. Nonlinear dynamics plays a central role in the study of complex networks, as it allows us to understand how the behavior of individual nodes inthe network affects the behavior of the network as a whole.In conclusion, nonlinear systems and dynamics are a crucial aspect of modern science and engineering. These systems are characterized by their complex behavior, sensitivity to initial conditions, presence of feedback loops, ability to exhibit oscillatory behavior, and importance in the study of complex networks. Understanding the dynamics of nonlinear systems is crucial for developing new technologies, predicting and controlling complex phenomena, and advancingscientific knowledge. Nonlinear dynamics is a rapidly growing field with broad applications in various fields, including physics, biology, engineering, andsocial science. As such, it is an essential area of study for anyone interested in understanding the world around us.。

Predicting Feature Interactions in Component-Based SystemsJudith Stafford and Kurt WallnauSoftware Engineering InstituteCarnegie Mellon UniversityPittsburgh,PA,USA+1412-268-5051+1412-268-3265jas@ kcw@ABSTRACTSoftware component technologies support assembly of systems from binary component implementations that may have been created in isolation from one and another.While these technologies provide assistance in wiring components together they fail to provide support for predicting the quality and behavior of configurations of components prior to actual system composition.We believe that all quality attributes manifested at runtime are emergent properties of component interactions, and hence arise as a consequence of planned,or unplanned,interactions among component features.In this paper we discuss the affinities among software architecture,software component technology,compositional reasoning,component property measurement,and component certification for the purpose of mastering component feature interaction,and for developing component technologies that support compositional reasoning,and that guarantee that design-time reasoning assumptions are preserved in deployed component assemblies.1.IntroductionSoftware component technologies provide a means for composing systems quickly from precom-piled parts.Technologies such as CORBA and COM have been developed to support composition of components that are created in isolation,perhaps by different people in different environments and in different languages.However,current component-based technologies do not support reasoning about system quality attributes,e.g.,performance,reliability,and safety.The quality of a software system is,in part,a function of the degree to which its features interact in predictable ers view systems from the perspective of system features whereas developers view systems in terms of functional decomposition into components.The former is a view in the problem domain;the latter is associated with the solution domain.Turner et al.study the relationship between these two domains as they define a conceptual framework for feature engineering[23].Quality attrib-utes such as performance,reliability,and safety are emergent properties of patterns of interaction in an assembly of components.Ultimately,all such patterns of interaction depend upon one or more features. Therefore,many critical system quality attributes are expressions of component feature interaction.In-deed,a failure to achieve system quality attributes may be attributable to unexpected feature interaction. We suggest that predicting and ensuring system-level quality attributes and controlling component fea-ture interactions are closely related.Moreover,we contend that the solution to both problems(to the In Proceedings of the Workshop on Feature Interaction of Composed Systems,in conjunction with the15th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming,Budapest,Hungary,June2001.extent they are distinct)will be found in the form of compositional rmally,composi-tional reasoning posits that if we know something about the properties of two components,c1and c2,then we can define a reasoning function f such that f(c1,c2)yields a property of an assembly comprisingc1and c2.Many would argue that compositional reasoning is the holy grail of software engineering:a noblebut ultimately futile quest for an unobtainable objective.This argument usually has as its unspokenpremise that only a fully formal and rigorous f(c1,c2)will do.If we accept this premise,then progresswill indeed be slow.Instead,we suggest that it is possible to adopt a more incremental approach that in-volves many levels of formality and rigor.To begin,we suggest that three interlocking questions mustbe answered:1.What system quality attributes are developers interested in predicting?2.What analysis techniques exist to support reasoning about these quality attributes,and what compo-nent properties do they require?3.How are these component properties specified,measured,and certified?Since compositional reasoning ultimately depends upon the types of component properties that canbe measured,these questions are interdependent.Therefore,answers to these questions are mutuallyconstraining.Further,answering these questions will bean ongoing process:new prediction models will require Array new and/or improved component measures,which will inturn lead to more accurate prediction,and to demand forbetter or additional prediction models.The objective of our work in predictable assemblyfrom certifiable components(PACC)is to demonstratehow component technology can be extended to supportcompositional reasoning.To do this,PACC integratesideas from research in the areas of software architecture,trusted components,and software component technology.The rest of the paper is organized as follows:We be-gin by describing two areas of related work,architecture-based analysis and component certification.The formerdeals with issues antecedent to compositional reasoning,the latter with issues of component trust and specification.We then describe a reference model for using component technology to link compositional reasoningwith component certification,and close with a summary of our position.2.Background and Related WorkThe ideas of architectural analysis and component certification are not new but,to the best of ourknowledge,their integration is.In this section we describe prior work in these areas and discuss theirrelationship to our work on predictable assembly.2.1Architectural AnalysisSoftware architecture-based analysis provides a foundation for reasoning about system completeness and correctness early in the development process and at a high level of abstraction.To date,research in the area has focused primarily on the use of architecture description languages(ADLs)as a substrate for analysis algorithms.The analysis algorithms that have been developed for these languages have,in gen-eral,focused on correctness properties,such as liveness and safety[2,10,14,16].However,other types of analysis are also appropriate for use at the architecture level and are currently the focus of research projects.Examples include system understanding[13,21,27],performance analysis[3,20],and archi-tecture-based testing[4,24].One still unresolved challenge for architecture technology is to bridge the gap between architectural abstractions and implementation.Specification refinement is one approach that seeks to prove properties of the relationship between abstract and more concrete specifications,ei-ther across heterogeneous design notations[8]or homogeneous notations[17].2.2Component CertificationThe National Security Agency(NSA)and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)used the trusted computer security evaluation criteria(TCSEC),a.k.a.“Orange Book.1”as the basis for the Common Criteria2,which defines criteria for certifying security features of components. Their effort was not crowned with success,at least in part because it defined no means of composing criteria(features)across classes of component.The Trusted Components Initiative(TCI)3is a loose af-filiation of researchers with a shared heritage in formal specification of interfaces.Representative of TCI is the use of pre/post conditions on APIs[15].This approach does support compositional reasoning, but only about a restricted set of behavioral properties of assemblies.Quality attributes,such as secu-rity,performance,availability,and so forth,are beyond the reach of these assertion languages.Voas has defined rigorous mathematical models of component reliability based on statistical approaches to testing [26],but has not defined models of composing reliability mercial component vendors are not inclined to formally specify their component interfaces,and it is not certain that it would be cost ef-fective for them to do so.Shaw observed that many features of commercial components will be discov-ered only through use.She proposed component credentials as an open-ended,property-based interface specification[19].A credential is a triple<attribute,value,knowledge>,which asserts that a component has an attribute of a particular value,and that this value is known through some means.Credentials re-flect the need to address component complexity,incomplete knowledge,and levels of confidence(or trust)in what is known about component properties,but do not go beyond notational concepts.There-fore,despite many efforts,fundamental questions remain.What does it mean to trust a component?Still more fundamental:what ends are served by certifying(or developing trust)in these properties?3.PACC ApproachThe PACC approach is based on two fundamental premises:first,that system quality attributes are emergent properties adhere to patterns of interaction among components,and,second,that software component technology provides a means of enforcing predefined and designed interaction patterns,thus 1/tpep/library/tcsec/index.html2/cc/3/facilitating the achievement of system quality attributes by construction.3.1Premises of PACCThe study of software architectural styles supports the first premise.An architectural style is a recur-ring design pattern,usually expressed as a set of component types and constraints on their allowable in-teractions[1,7].Architectural styles provided the first link between structural design constraints and system properties.For example,the pipe and filter style yields systems that can be easily restructured. However,the link between system-level quality attribute and architectural style is informal and subjec-tive.To better formalize this link,Klein et al.have developed attribute-based architectural style (ABAS)[11].Informally,ABAS associates one or more attribute reasoning frameworks with an archi-tectural style.An attribute reasoning framework consists of a response variable,one or more stimuli variables,and an analysis model that links stimuli to response.ABAS is a key foundation for PACC.It provides the conceptual foundation for defining and analyzing the properties of assemblies(the response variables).It also provides the link between system properties and component properties(stimuli vari-ables).Component technology provides the means to realize ABAS concepts in software and,in fact,the concept of architectural style is quite amenable to a component-based interpretation[4].In or view,a component technology can play an analogous role to predictable assembly that structured programming languages and compilers played for structured programming—it limits the freedom of designers(pro-grammers)so that the resulting design(program)is more readily analyzed.In one of many possible ex-amples,the Enterprise JavaBeans(EJB)specification defines component types,such as session and en-tity beans,4and constraints on how they interact with one another,with client programs,and with the runtime environment.However serendipitous it may be,it is clear that EJB specifies an architectural style.It is our thesis that analogous component technologies can be defined that go still further to in-clude the additional style constraints needed to support ABAS-based reasoning.The result will be com-ponent technologies that support design-time quality attribute analysis,and guarantee,by construction, that the assumptions underlying these analyses are preserved in an assembly of components.At this point in our research,we are noncommittal about what a prediction-enabled component tech-nology should look like.However,we postulate the outlines of such a technology with the following reference model.3.2A Conceptual Reference Model for PACCComponent technologies comprise four levels of abstraction.We generally depict this as a layered reference model,but omit the graphic here for brevity.We describe this model beginning with the con-crete and work our way up to the abstract:–Assembly.The most concrete level of our reference model comprises a set of components whose resources(features)have been bound in such a way as to enable their interaction.–Assembly specification.At this level we find component specifications in place of components, and specifications of their interactions.It is at this level of abstraction that attribute analysis and 4Components are denoted as beans in EJB.prediction occur.–Types.At this level we specify component and connector types and their features,thereby defininga vocabulary to support design,that is,assembly specification and attribute analysis and prediction.–Metatypes.At this level one defines what it means to be a component type,or a connector type,or an assembly type,and define any constraints that must hold for all types to enable attribute predic-tion.3.3Reference Model InstantiationsWe have explored two complementary approaches to instantiate the PACC reference model:one that assumes that attribute reasoning models will be integrated into a component technology,and one that assumes the converse.We refer to the first as a component-centric instantiation,and the second as an architecture-centric instantiation.We have validated both approaches with(admittedly simple)proofs of feasibility.For the component-centric instantiation we used the WaterBeans[18]technology augmented with latency prediction.For the architecture-centric instantiation we used a security ABAS for attribute reasoning,and a Web-based enterprise system for the component technology(from the case study found in[25]).Table1summarizes the mapping of these instantiations to the reference model.Table1:Complementary Instantiation sModel Level Component Centric Architecture CentricMetatypes Properties shared by all WaterBeans compo-nents,e.g.,typed ports,connectors,and con-nection rules.Defined the latency attributeand associated it with the componentmetatype.A simple,behavior-less ADL of compo-nents,interactions,assemblies,and their properties.Analogous to a simplified meta-model of UML collaboration diagrams.Types Component type definitions for CD audiosampling and wave manipulation.Types in-troduced the additional Boolean property foraperiodic or periodic behavior,and,if peri-odic,the execution period.A quantitativemodel for end-to-end latency is also definedhere.Types that represent basic-level categories for analysis of security properties, e.g., peers,trusted computing base,key,crypto-graphic provider,threat agent,data asset.

Designing systems as assemblies of components based on architectural styles produces systems that are analyzable by design.We are exploring the application compositional reasoning techniques to assem-blies of components in order to predict properties of systems.It is our belief that this line of work can support the identification of the potential for feature interaction before actual system assembly.5.AcknowledgementsThis work was supported by the United States Department of Defense.6.References1.G.D.Abowd,R.Allen and D.Garlan,Formalizing Style to Understand Descriptions of Software Architec-ture,ACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology,Vol.4,No.4,October,1995,pp.319-364.2.R.Allen and D.Garlan,A Formal Basis for Architectural Connection,ACM Transactions on Software Engi-neering and Methodology,Vol.6,No.3,July.1997,pp.213-249.3.S.Balsamo,P.Inverardi and C.Mangano,An Approach to Performance Evaluation of Software Architec-tures,Proceedings of the1998Workshop on Software and Performance,October.1998,pp.77-84.4.
