MIDS LVT is communication equipment mounted with Link-16-based weapon systems to provide the Link-16 operating environment between weapon systems. Currently, the military operates the MIDS LVT BU1, but it will be changed to the BU2 and JTRS according to the performance improvement. The communication interface, message data format, and message composition of the MIDS LVT are different depending on the platform family (BU1/BU2/JTRS) and type (A,D,J). In this paper, we propose a framework based emulator design and implementation method that considers the MIDS LVT platform extension to improve these problems. In consideration of the quality attributes of the sw architecture, we designed a common based framework for modifiability, reusability, and extensibility. The MIDS LVT emulator comprises the MIDS LVT emulator processing, link interface processing, and monitoring tool. The MIDS LVT emulator was implemented by deriving and improving functions through the analysis of the functions of the previously developed overseas tools. Through the development of the MIDS LVT emulator, it can be used to develop and verify the developed Link-16 host system.

An Architectural Pattern Recommendation Method Based on a Quality-Attributes Trade-off Analysis

Recently, the accomplishment of a system’s quality attributes requires the negotiation of increasingly complex requirements, and this is because the contextual and developmental environments in which software is used has undergone broad changes. Nevertheless, with regard to most architectural designs, many of the proportions depend on the architect’s intuition. Moreover, even if reusable architectural patterns are adapted to an architectural design, common schemas for the description of their use are nonexistent, and it is difficult to make a comparison for the selection of an appropriate systemic pattern because the focus of the schemas is not the user’s perspective. To achieve a fast initial-design decision, this paper suggests new schemas that reduce the distance between the quality attribute requirements and the design by reinterpreting architectural patterns from the user’s perspective. Also, based on the reconstructed pattern model that is derived from the use of the new schemas, an architectural-pattern recommendation method (APOQATo) for which the trade-off and the constraints that are due to the design decision are considered is provided as well as the advantages of the architectural pattern for which the quality attributes are satisfied.
