7. Software architecture of a Mission Critical System at JATP Cell, IISc from
Dec 2006 – Sept 2007
Joint Advanced Training Program is a collaborative initiative between DRDL labs and IISC. This Cell is
a liaison between cutting edge academic research that goes on at IISc with the research and
development programs of DRDL labs. Various initiatives are undertaken by this cell to continue to
bring theory to practice.
One such initiative involved software design and architecture of a mission critical system. The
requirement analysis was done using Rational Rose and various UML diagrams were developed using
Rational Software Architect.
Based on the requirement analysis, a Service Oriented Architecture was proposed along with
architecture patterns such as Model-View-Controller and Thick Broker were proposed. The
Singleton, Memento, Iterator, Command were some of the prominent Design Patterns used.
A comprehensive Design Document was prepared elaborating implementation details of each of the
identified nodes. It also highlighted Inter Process Communication Mechanisms, the Runtime
Architecture and the Fault Tolerance built into the proposed architecture
The reliability and performability of the architecture proposed was verified using Timed Petri Nets.
Petri Nets were developed to model the dynamic behavior of the architecture. Based on the
hardware reliability modeled, certain critical recommendations were made to the client.
Based on the encouraging results from the project, a few technical papers were published
Responsibilities
● Was responsible for the Requirement Analysis
● Developed various subsystems from the requirements and proposed the Service
Oriented Architecture as a framework for the architecture
● Developed various UML diagrams and laid out framework for the code layout using
Rational Software Architect and Rational Rose
● Co-authored the design document and was responsible for the Runtime Architecture and
the Fault Tolerance approach for the software architecture
● Responsible for the developing the hardware reliability models
● Co-authored a few technical papers on Software Architecture and Reliability modeling
