This paper articulates a system design for the secure role based messaging model built based on existing messaging systems, public key infrastructures, and a privilege management ...
The focus of typical architectural models is the description of large systems. Even though these systems are usually distributed, aspects of distributed systems are only addressed...
Software architectures can play a role in improving the testing process of complex systems. In particular, descriptions of the software architecture can be useful to drive integra...
