In system-on-chips, system architecture designs greatly affect cost, performance, and power consumption of the systems. In system design time, we thus need to perform system architecture exploration. In order to effectively support architecture exploration, we improve de-efficiency of current architecture description languages and produce new ways of architecture description, including multiple architecture pattern descriptions and generalized coding description. Together with existing architecture description methods, we form a generalized architecture description language. In this thesis research, in order to support verification of designs in the generalized architecture description language, we designed its simulator software. The simulator should support the descriptions of the architecture description language, including structural description, behavioral description, coding description, multiple architecture pattern descriptions, and hardware data structures. We implemented the simulator software in several software modules, including simulator engine, parser design, interpreter design, generalized decoder design, multiple architecture pattern descriptions, and hardware data structures. We thus can effectively support the verification capability of the architecture description language.

Cloud computing has updated the appearance of the Information Technology (IT) infrastructure, and in addition to lower operation costs provides real-time services and reduces the information service barrier. In order to adapt to the rapidly changing market demand, enterprises are beginning to consider the feasibility of the deployment of cloud computing. The business environment changes so fast that an integrated dynamic framework and intelligent service system to achieve enterprises¡¦ visions, objectives and strategies, and to quick response is needed. Regarding to the three main service types of cloud computing: Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), this study proposes an integration model for enterprise administration. Cloud computing packs the functionality of dynamic resource adjustment. From the deployment of organizations to the customer interactions, cloud computing is divided into a public cloud, private cloud and mixed cloud based on its deployment model. As for the private cloud, its information security and efficiency allow enterprises execute their operations smoothly according to the business rules. Thus more and more enterprises are inclined to deploy private clouds. This study uses structure-behavior coalescence architecture description language (SBC-ADL) to accomplish the systems architecture, and provides thorough suggestions of dynamic resources allocation as a reference model for any enterprise which plans to deploy the cloud computing service. For those enterprises that have already implemented cloud computing services, the systems architecture can be referred to better their business management. Describing the relationship between the various systems architecture is helpful in quickly understanding the system operation. Consider reducing misunderstanding and increasing work efficiency and information correctness, SBC-ADL works very well as an effective tool for training and communication within the IT department.

In the age of system-on-chip designs, design complexity of systems increases continuingly. This results in difficulty of design convergence. In design exploration of system architectures, we need to design, specify, and verify system designs effectively. By employing an architecture description language (ADL), we can effectively support specification and verification of system level designs. Existing ADLs have certain de-efficiencies in specification capabilities. We designed and improved specification capabilities in our architecture description language. Specification techniques in our ADL include behavioral description, structural description, regular structure description, built-in architecture feature description, and data integration description. In this thesis research, we focus on supporting verification capability of our ADL. We designed a simulator of the ADL. The simulation mechanisms include language input design, simulation data structure construction, behavioral simulation, structural simulation, regular architecture simulation, built-in architecture feature simulation, and data integration mechanism. With the ADL simulator, we can verify functionality and performance of architecture designs specified in the ADL. Simulation results can thus be used to guide design exploration and help design convergence.

Since recent financial crisis triggered world economy recession, most of the corporations are facing financial downturn. To survive in the recession, some measurements are taken to increase revenue and reduce expense. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is one of those measurements which are used by corporation managers to enhance business operations and retain old customers. In Lee¡¦s research, 70% corporations adopting CRM failed. Introducing a system into business operation is not the only key point; customer-centered corporation culture and structure are some other key points. Successful CRM operation coordinates CRM strategy, organization, process, tool and final evaluation to support services continuously. This study focuses on constructing an acceptable CRM model to minimize the investments of time, money and man power when adopting CRM, and reduce the possibility of failure. In this study, we follow Enterprise Architecture (EA) theory and use the Structure-Behavior Coalescence Architecture Description Language (SBC-ADL) as a tool to create the architecture-oriented CRM model (AOCRMM). SBC-ADL integrates the views of structure, behavior and others, so that it integrates organizational structures and organizational behaviors into a single model. Comparing to traditional CRM models which organizational structures and organizational behaviors are separated, the AOCRMM provides a more holistic way, than traditional CRM models, to describe how the CRM operates.

With the prosperity of information technology, the hospital introduces the high-tech equipment and information systems to improve patient-centered clinical care capability and efficiency. Because of structural changes in the medical environment, the traditional modes of care have many impacts. This study combines the enterprise architecture (EA) theory with evidences and experiences of clinical care, including suggestions of supervisors and colleagues. Our purpose is to find out a description tool for patient-centered clinical care, and to improve communication and interaction among personnel, equipment, and system, leading to the development of architecture-oriented clinical care model (AOCCM). This study uses structure-behavior coalescence architecture description language (SBC-ADL) to construct a multiple view integrated AOCCM. AOCCM is a patient-centered blueprint which includes architecture hierarchy diagram, framework diagram, component operation diagram, component connection diagram, structure-behavior coalescence diagram, and interaction flow diagram. Comparing with existing clinical care model from various kinds of views, all logical results demonstrate that AOCCM is superior to the existing model. The methodology of architecture-oriented covers the organizational structure, caring behavior, and the relationship between patients and hospitals, to systematically show the face of clinical care. Accordingly, AOCCM helps a great deal care staffs achieve effective consensus in corporate communications and new staffs accomplish systematical learning in clinical studies.

After the National Communications Commission lifted the ban on cross-industry, the boundaries of cable television and telecommunication services become increasingly blurred. Thereafter, cable business owners in network operations management area are facing the telecommunication industry with fierce competition. They also need to overcome the high morphological variable services with the impacting of increasingly complex processes. The Information communications in business organizations have generated problems of the information exchanging fault and the recognition process management gap. Therefore, the operational mechanism on cable network management systems becomes very important and meaningful. This study is based on system architecture and logic rule to use the structure-behavior coalescence (SBC) architecture description language (ADL). Through the design-based research (DBR) methodology, it integrates the concepts of information systems and business management, and develops a proprietary architecture tools by innovating cable televisions with architecture-oriented cable network management system model (AOCNMSM). This study also uses logical classification rules to verify the following purposes: (1) Building the network management systems model to meet the business integrated operations. (2) Combining of network management system and organizational information flow to avoid information exchange faults. (3) Excluding the potential barriers on the network management system to avoid the recognition gap of organizational management. By introducing the AOCNMSM, we allow cable business owners to view their online network easier on most environmental management issues. They shall truly achieve the integration of information systems and organizational management and enhance the service quality of cable television to create a more flawless business performance.

Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) has been widely applied to crack down crimes. However, the comprehensive set-up of the CCTV in public space was controversial in terms of the issues of human rights, law, regulation, and of applications to detecting crimes. As the integration and application of CCTV are getting popular, it seems to be significant to explore the dilemmas of applying CCTV to collect information and meantime protecting people¡¦s privacy. The study is based on the architecture-oriented (AO), applying the method of situational crime privation (SCP) and architecture descriptive language (ADL) under the frame of Structure-Behavior Coalescence (SBC) of Enterprise Architecture (EA), to achieve the following goals: (1) to investigate the current CCTV management and regulation, (2) to construct a more appropriate CCTV management model, (3) to assure the public by making public the CCTV application procedure In the end, to increase the reliability and validity of the study, systematic observation approach was added to testify the operative and regulative procedures of using CCTV.

The international economy grew slowly in recent years. Small panel industry's profitability is declining year by year, coupled with external competitive pressure, high material prices and green environmental requirements. The small panel OEM¡¥s operation becomes more challenging. Facing the marginal profit age, the small panel industry must be able to extend the manufacturing and producing capabilities in order to increase competitiveness and cost savings.

SBC-ADL emphasizes on ¡§Structure + Behavior". Spirit of SBC-ADL can more clearly illustrate the need to change according to customer requirements and complex manufacturing process in the MES of small panel OEM factory. AOSPOEMFMESM describes in detail that small panel OEM factory organization, MES and other information sharing systems and the interaction between. AOSPOEMFMESM make it easier for the mangers or the users to know and control the entire MES and enhance the competitiveness of an enterprise.

Nowadays, facing the severe pressure of globalization and strong demand of high products quality from customers, enterprises in Taiwan are forced to enhance the quality and yield rate of manufactured products in order to gain their competitive edges. An enterprise usually relies on the statistical process control (SPC) software system to achieve this goal. The SPC approach measures, understands, and controls the variation of the products manufacturing process. This study uses the structure-behavior coalescence architecture description language (SBC-ADL) to construct the architecture-oriented statistical process control model (AOSPCM). A model constructed by the SBC-ADL differs from others software model in its using six golden rules which help integrate the structure and behavior of a software system. AOSPCM constructed in this study improved substantially both training and communication endeavors within an enterprise, reduced costs due to estimation errors, requirement uncertainties, and project delays. Overall, AOSPCM benefits a great deal to both developers and users of a software project. In general, most manufacturing and high-tech industries rely heavily on the SPC software system. Therefore, AOSPCM constructed in this study provides a standard model for other software developers to follow. Following the AOSPCM, any SPC software developer shall improve lots of development efforts and cost savings within an enterprise.

According to the Department of Statistic, there are 163 existing Universities, Colleges and Institutes with 1,352,084 students in the 100th academic year. Under the trend of globalization, Taiwan¡¦s society and high education are facing an enormous change. And as to dealing with those changes Taiwan has to rely on the globalized higher education system to accomplish. Therefore, to expend recruiting aboard students is the key of success for Ministry of Education to enhance the development of globalizing higher education. However, Taiwan is a late bloomer on globalizing the higher education and English is the second language to us. Therefore, problems are generated when working on recruiting international students. As the matter of the fact, the matters of caring and managing international students appear to be essential. This study constructs an architecture-oriented international student management model (AOISCM) using the structure-behavior coalescence architecture description language (SBC-ADL). AOISCM is an international student centered blueprint which includes six fundamental diagrams: architecture hierarchy diagram, framework diagram, component operation diagram, component connection diagram, structure-behavior coalescence diagram, and interaction flow diagram. Comparing with existing international student care and management model from various kinds of views, all results demonstrate that AOISCM is superior to the existing model. AOISCM covers the organization structure and caring behavior. By this model we are able to see the relationship between international students and the universities, and show the whole picture of the caring and managing international students. Therefore, using AOISCM on caring and managing international students will help universities to meet the high proficiency on reaching an agreement on international student¡¦s communication. Last and not least, AOISCM shall clarify the duties for each divisions and flexible sources allocation for office executives.
