3. Concurrency
Identify concurrent threads and address concurrency issues. Design goal: response time, performance.
Threads A thread of control is a path through a set of state diagrams on
which a single object is active at a time. A thread remains within a state diagram until an object sends an
event to another object and waits for another event Thread splitting: Object does a nonblocking send of an event.
Bernd Bruegge & Allen Dutoit Object-Oriented Software Engineering: Conquering Complex and Changing Systems 4
Concurrency (continued)
Two objects are inherently concurrent if they can receive events at the same time without interacting
Inherently concurrent objects should be assigned to different threads of control
Objects with mutual exclusive activity should be folded into a single thread of control
Bernd Bruegge & Allen Dutoit Object-Oriented Software Engineering: Conquering Complex and Changing Systems 5
Concurrency Questions
Which objects of the object model are independent? What kinds of threads of control are identifiable? Does the system provide access to multiple users? Can a single request to the system be decomposed into multiple
requests? Can these requests be handled in parallel?
Bernd Bruegge & Allen Dutoit Object-Oriented Software Engineering: Conquering Complex and Changing Systems 6
Implementing Concurrency
Concurrent systems can be implemented on any system that provides physical concurrency (hardware)
or logical concurrency (software)
Bernd Bruegge & Allen Dutoit Object-Oriented Software Engineering: Conquering Complex and Changing Systems 7
4. Hardware Software Mapping
This activity addresses two questions: How shall we realize the subsystems: Hardware or Software? How is the object model mapped on the chosen hardware &
software? Mapping Objects onto Reality: Processor, Memory, Input/Output Mapping Associations onto Reality: Connectivity
Much of the difficulty of designing a system comes from meeting externally-imposed hardware and software constraints. Certain tasks have to be at specific locations
Bernd Bruegge & Allen Dutoit Object-Oriented Software Engineering: Conquering Complex and Changing Systems 8
Mapping the Objects
Processor issues: Is the computation rate too demanding for a single processor? Can we get a speedup by distributing tasks across several
processors? How many processors are required to maintain steady state load?
Memory issues: Is there enough memory to buffer bursts of requests?
I/O issues: Do you need an extra piece of hardware to handle the data
generation rate? Does the response time exceed the available communication
bandwidth between subsystems or a task and a piece of hardware?
Bernd Bruegge & Allen Dutoit Object-Oriented Software Engineering: Conquering Complex and Changing Systems 9
Mapping the Subsystems Associations: Connectivity
Describe the physical connectivity of the hardware Often the physical layer in ISO’s OSI Reference Model
Which associations in the object model are mapped to physical connections?
Which of the client-supplier relationships in the analysis/design model correspond to physical connections?
Describe the logical connectivity (subsystem associations) Identify associations that do not directly map into physical
connections: How should these associations be implemented?
Bernd Bruegge & Allen Dutoit Object-Oriented Software Engineering: Conquering Complex and Changing Systems 10
Connectivity in Distributed Systems
If the architecture is distributed, we need to describe the network architecture (communication subsystem) as well.
Questions to ask What are the transmission media? (Ethernet, Wireless) What is the Quality of Service (QOS)? What kind of communication
protocols can be used? Should the interaction asynchronous, synchronous or blocking? What are the available bandwidth requirements between the
subsystems? Stock Price Change -> Broker Icy Road Detector -> ABS System

Hardware/Software Mapping Questions
What is the connectivity among physical units? Tree, star, matrix, ring
What is the appropriate communication protocol between the subsystems? Function of required bandwidth, latency and desired reliability
Is certain functionality already available in hardware? Do certain tasks require specific locations to control the
hardware or to permit concurrent operation? Often true for embedded systems
General system performance question: What is the desired response time?
Bernd Bruegge & Allen Dutoit Object-Oriented Software Engineering: Conquering Complex and Changing Systems 13
Drawing Subsystems in UML
System design must model static and dynamic structures: Component Diagrams for static structures
show the structure at design time or compilation time
Deployment Diagram for dynamic structures show the structure of the run-time system
Note the lifetime of components Some exist only at design time Others exist only until compile time Some exist at link or runtime
Bernd Bruegge & Allen Dutoit Object-Oriented Software Engineering: Conquering Complex and Changing Systems 14
Component Diagram
Component Diagram A graph of components connected by dependency relationships. Shows the dependencies among software components
source code, linkable libraries, executables
Dependencies are shown as dashed arrows from the client component to the supplier component. The kinds of dependencies are implementation language specific.
A component diagram may also be used to show dependencies on a façade: Use dashed arrow the corresponding UML interface.

Deployment Diagram
Deployment diagrams are useful for showing a system design after the following decisions are made Subsystem decomposition Concurrency Hardware/Software Mapping
A deployment diagram is a graph of nodes connected by communication associations. Nodes are shown as 3-D boxes. Nodes may contain component instances. Components may contain objects (indicating that the object is part
of the component)

5. Data Management Some objects in the models need to be persistent
Provide clean separation points between subsystems with well-defined interfaces.
A persistent object can be realized with one of the following Data structure
If the data can be volatile
Files Cheap, simple, permanent storage Low level (Read, Write) Applications must add code to provide suitable level of abstraction
Database Powerful, easy to port Supports multiple writers and readers
Bernd Bruegge & Allen Dutoit Object-Oriented Software Engineering: Conquering Complex and Changing Systems 19
File or Database?
When should you choose a file? Are the data voluminous (bit maps)? Do you have lots of raw data (core dump, event trace)? Do you need to keep the data only for a short time? Is the information density low (archival files,history logs)?
When should you choose a database? Do the data require access at fine levels of details by multiple users? Must the data be ported across multiple platforms (heterogeneous
systems)? Do multiple application programs access the data? Does the data management require a lot of infrastructure?
Bernd Bruegge & Allen Dutoit Object-Oriented Software Engineering: Conquering Complex and Changing Systems 22
Object-Oriented Databases
Support all fundamental object modeling concepts Classes, Attributes, Methods, Associations, Inheritance
Mapping an object model to an OO-database Determine which objects are persistent. Perform normal requirement analysis and object design Create single attribute indices to reduce performance bottlenecks Do the mapping (specific to commercially available product).
Example: In ObjectStore, implement classes and associations by preparing C++
declarations for each class and each association in the object model
Bernd Bruegge & Allen Dutoit Object-Oriented Software Engineering: Conquering Complex and Changing Systems 23
Relational Databases
Based on relational algebra Data is presented as 2-dimensional tables. Tables have a
specific number of columns and and arbitrary numbers of rows Primary key: Combination of attributes that uniquely identify a
row in a table. Each table should have only one primary key Foreign key: Reference to a primary key in another table
SQL is the standard language defining and manipulating tables. Leading commercial databases support constraints.
Referential integrity, for example, means that references to entries in other tables actually exist.
Bernd Bruegge & Allen Dutoit Object-Oriented Software Engineering: Conquering Complex and Changing Systems 24
Mapping an object model to a relational database
UML object models can be mapped to relational databases: Some degradation occurs because all UML constructs must be
mapped to a single relational database construct - the table.
UML mappings Each class is mapped to a table Each class attribute is mapped onto a column in the table An instance of a class represents a row in the table A many-to-many association is mapped into its own table A one-to-many association is implemented as buried foreign key
Methods are not mapped

Trade-off between files and databases
When should you choose a file? Voluminous data (eg. images) Temporary data (ef. core file) Low information density (e.f archival files, history logs)
When should you choose a database? Concurrent accesses Access at fine levels of details Multiple platforms Multiple applications over the same data
When should you choose a relational database? Complex queries over attributes Large dataset
When should you choose an object-oriented database? Extensive use of associations to retrieve data Medium-sized data set Irregular associations among objects
Bernd Bruegge & Allen Dutoit Object-Oriented Software Engineering: Conquering Complex and Changing Systems 29
6. Global Resource Handling
Discusses access control Describes access rights for different classes of actors Describes how object guard against unauthorized access
Bernd Bruegge & Allen Dutoit Object-Oriented Software Engineering: Conquering Complex and Changing Systems 30
Global Resource Questions
Does the system need authentication? If yes, what is the authentication scheme?
User name and password? Access control list Tickets? Capability-based
What is the user interface for authentication? Does the system need a network-wide name server? How is a service known to the rest of the system?
At runtime? At compile time? By Port? By Name?

7. Decide on Software Control
Control flow is the sequencing of actions in a system. In object-oriented systems, sequencing actions includes deciding which operations should be executed and in which order
A. Choose implicit control (non-procedural or declarative languages) Rule-based systems Logic programming
B. Or choose explicit control (procedural languages) Centralized control
1. Procedure-driven control– Operations wait for input whenever they need data from an actor– Control resides within program code. Example: Main program
calling procedures of subsystems.– Systems written in procedural languages
Bernd Bruegge & Allen Dutoit Object-Oriented Software Engineering: Conquering Complex and Changing Systems 33
Software Control (continued)
2. Event-driven control
– A main loop waits for an external event
– Whenever an event becomes available, it is dispatched to the appropriate object, based on information associated with the event
– Flexible, good for user interfaces 3. Thread
– “Lighweight thread” to distinguish them from processes
– Concurrent variation of procedure-driven control
– The system can create arbitrary number of threads, each responding to a different event
– Debugging threaded software requires good debugging tools
Decentralized control Control resided in several independent objects (supported by some languages). Possible speedup by parallelization, increased communication overhead. Example: Message based system.

An example of procedure driven control (Java)
Stream in, out;String userid, passwd;/* initialization omitted */out.println(”Login:”);in.readln(userid);out.println(”Password:”);in.readln(passwd);if(!security.check(userid,passed)){ out.println(”Login failed.”); system.exit(-1); }….
Bernd Bruegge & Allen Dutoit Object-Oriented Software Engineering: Conquering Complex and Changing Systems 37
Example of main loop for event-driven control (Java)
An event is taken from an event queue and sent to objects interested in it
Enumeration subscribers, eventStream;
Subscriber subscriber;
Event event;
Eventstream eventstream;
/*…*/
while (eventStream.hasMoreElements){
event=eventStream.nextElement();
while (subscribers.hasMoreElements(){
subscriber = subscribers.nextElement()){
subscriber.process(event);
}
}
Bernd Bruegge & Allen Dutoit Object-Oriented Software Engineering: Conquering Complex and Changing Systems 38
Example of event processing with threads (Java)
eventHandler is an object dedicated to handling event eventHandler implements the run() operation, which is invoked when
thread is startedThread thread;Event event;EventHandler eventhandler;boolean done;/* …. */while (done){
event = eventStream.getNextEvent();eventHandler = new EventHandler (event);thread = new Thread(eventHandler);thread.start;
}
Bernd Bruegge & Allen Dutoit Object-Oriented Software Engineering: Conquering Complex and Changing Systems 39
Centralized vs. Decentralized Designs
Should you use a centralized or decentralized design? Centralized Design
One control object or subsystem ("spider") controls everything Change in the control structure is very easy Possible performance bottleneck
Decentralized Design Control is distributed Spreads out responsibility Fits nicely into object-oriented development
Bernd Bruegge & Allen Dutoit Object-Oriented Software Engineering: Conquering Complex and Changing Systems 40
Control objects
Once a control flow mechanism is selected, we can realize a set of one or more control objects
control objects record external events, store temporary state about them, and issue the right sequence of operation calls on the boundary and entity objects associated with the external event
Bernd Bruegge & Allen Dutoit Object-Oriented Software Engineering: Conquering Complex and Changing Systems 41
Summary
In this lecture, we reviewed the activities of system design : Concurrency identification Hardware/Software mapping Persistent data management Global resource handling Software control selection
Each of these activities revises the subsystem decomposition to address a specific issue. From system design is left one activity
Boundary conditions
Once all these activities are completed, the interface of the subsystems can be defined.
Examples of MyTrip system design issues are given in the following exercises:Exercise 9. Hardware/Software mappingExercise 10. Persistent data managementExercise 11.Designing access control and global control flowExercise 12. Identifying boundary conditionsExercise 13. Documenting system design
