This paper describes the architecture and design of Grid OPTICS(TM), a novel software framework for integrating a collection of software tools developed by PNNL's Future Power Grid Initiative (FPGI) into a coherent, powerful operations and planning tool for the power grid of the future. Grid OPTICS(TM) enables plug-and-play of various analysis, modeling and visualization software tools to improve...
As the smart grid becomes reality, software architectures for integrating legacy systems with new innovative approaches for grid management are needed. These architectures must exhibit flexibility, extensibility, interoperability and scalability. In this position paper, we describe our preliminary work to design such an architecture, known as GridOPTICS, that will enable the deployment and integration...
The architecture of complex software systems is a collection of decisions that are very expensive to change. This makes effective software architecture evaluation methods essential in today's system development for mission critical systems. We have previously developed MEMS for evaluating middleware architectures, which provides an effective assessment of important quality attributes and their characterizations...
Architecture evaluation methods provide general guidelines to assess quality attributes of systems, which are not necessarily straightforward to practice with. With COTS middleware based systems, this assessment process is further complicated by the complexity of middleware technology and a number of design and deployment options. Efficient assessment is key to produce accurate evaluation results...
With the rapid development of SOA and SaaS technologies, it's possible to construct a powerful e-services system rapidly with ready-to-use services. At the same time, it brings a big challenge to the architecting and design of e-services system compared with traditional software design. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for new generation e-services system design and evolution, which use...
