Concurrent, distributed activity make notions of global state difficult to grasp. We focus on the runtime structure of a system, its execution architecture, and propose representing its evolution as a partially ordered set of predefined architectural event types. This representation allows a system's topology to be visualized, analyzed and con-strained. The use of a predefined event types allows the execution architectures of different systems to be readily compared.", address = "San Antonio, TX, USA", author = "James Vera and Louis Perrochon and David Luckham", booktitle = "Proceedings of the First Working IFIP Conf. on Software Architecture", month = feb, mynumber = "sw171", publisher = "IEEE", title = "Event-Based Execution Architectures for Dynamic Software Systems", topic = "Architectures, Models and Frameworks", URL = "http://citeseer.nj.nec.com/209125.html", year = "1999", modified = "0", }
