- Nominated for best paper award at ECSA 2014, the flagship software architecture conference, this paper was the first to propose a formal approach to reason about software integration at both application and middleware layers. The novelty of this work stems from the explicit and rigorous modelling of the role of middleware in software architecture and its potential for describing interactions in highly heterogeneous complex systems, e.g., co-ordinating of components in emergency management situations. It provides a systematic way for achieving interoperability that is grounded in formal methods and deployable in practice.
