Design techniques for a seamless information system architecture

TL;DR

This paper presents design techniques for creating seamless information system architectures by using adaptive clustering to connect different architectural models and ensure coherent detailed design across abstraction levels.

Contribution

It introduces an adaptive clustering method that bridges technological gaps between architectural abstractions, enabling integrated and consistent IS architecture design.

Findings

Adaptive clustering effectively links architectural models at different levels.

The technique improves the coherence of multi-level architectural descriptions.

It facilitates the development of detailed models from higher-level abstractions.

Abstract

The paper discusses design techniques for a seamless architecture of information systems (IS). A seamless architecture is understood as such an architectural de-scription of an IS, that defines explicit connections between elements of architec-tural models of various architectural representations. Design techniques are based on the adaptive clustering method developed by the author, which allows one to bridge technological gaps between architectural abstracts of different levels and to link architectural models in such a way as to ensure the design of a more detailed model based on a model of a higher level of abstraction.
