Questions and Answers

What is a primary difference between connectors in software systems implementations and connectors in software architectures?

  • Connectors in software architectures are less important
  • Connectors in software architectures are first-class entities (correct)
  • Connectors in software architectures are more difficult to implement
  • Connectors in software architectures are more complex
  • What is an example of interaction abstraction and/or parametrization in connectors?

  • Specification of complex interactions
  • Binary vs. N-ary interactions
  • Asymmetric vs. symmetric interactions
  • All of the above (correct)
  • What is a key characteristic of components in software systems?

  • They are responsible for interaction abstraction
  • They provide application-specific functionality (correct)
  • They provide application-independent interaction mechanisms
  • They are responsible for complex interactions
  • Why are connectors treated independently in software engineering?
