PPOOA, Processes Pipelines in Object Oriented Architectures is an architectural style for software intensive architectures where concurrency is a main concern. It can be used when individual paths of execution are required to be concurrent and several processes may be positioned along the path to control the action.


  

 

 

 

 

 

 

News: 

During 2011 this web site had 19863 sessions and 43149 publications downloads.

We extended the PPOOA process to include systems engineering activities. The new process named ISE&PPOOA (Integrated Systems Engineering  & PPOOA) was applied to diverse systems. These new process and some case studies were submitted for publication.

A Doctoral Thesis on deadlock risk assessment  for PPOOA architectures was presented at  the Madrid Technical University (UPM), Madrid (Spain), 17 May 2010.  https://serviciosgate.upm.es/tesis/tesis/6248

PPOOA-Cheddar approach for architecting and evaluating real-time software architectures was presented at Ada Europe 2009  Conference, Brest (France) June 2009.

PPOOA users community is growing. Software architects from USA, Spain, Germany, France, Holland, Canada, Mexico, Peru, Brazil, Israel, Finland and India have requested the free PPOOA tool and sw architecting method.

A seminar dealing with the architecting and evaluation of real-time systems is offered. Download the seminar brochure and contact us if you are interested in it.
