Nowadays, large-scale software systems consist of multiple applications, which interact with each other to fulfill desired system-level requirements. It is usually required to coordinate the interactions of the constituent applications to ensure that the system-level requirements are fulfilled. In this paper, we outline a set of requirements that must be fulfilled to facilitate the modular composition of multiple applications. We introduce the concept of architectural event modules, which are abstractions to represent constituent applications and their coordination logic in a modular and uniform way. We explain the implementation of this concept in the EventReactor language, and define their formal semantics in processing events using the UPPAAL toolset. We illustrate the suitability of architectural event modules in achieving modularity and loose coupling in the composition of multiple applications by means of a case study in the domain of energy-efficient computing.

¡@¡@Business strategy may lead the organization and people to achieve the strategy goals and let the stakeholder know the reason why the organization exists and the motive why people fight for missions. Therefore, business strategy management should be able to describe the business strategy clearly in order to assist to consolidate each point of view and enable business strategy achieve synergy effects. ¡@¡@The strategy map, adopting word, graphic and process languages, is used to describe the business strategy. However, the implementation and consolidation of these languages have problems that they cannot integrate business organization¡¦s ¡§Structure View¡¨ and ¡§Process View¡¨ together. ¡@¡@This research uses Strategy Architectural Description Language (SADL) to construct an Business Strategy Architecture-Oriented Integrated Model (BSAOIM) which utilizes the ¡§Union of Structure View and Process View¡¨ to enhance the insufficient description capability of the strategy map. ¡@¡@The result of the study shows that BSAOIM is from the huge view to the microcosmic, from whole to some merger strategy thinking. By SADL to consolidate business exclusive Strategy Architectural Diagram (SAD), The SAD integrates organizational structure and business process closely and provides various points of views to transform implicit into explicit knowledge, which is a paramount description tool that can transform the abstract concept into real system and enable the organization and people, under the instruction of strategy, implement strategies successfully.
