TY - JOUR A1 - Gegner, Tobias T1 - Flow-Design and Event-Based Components: A New Approach in Designing Software Compared to Established Procedures JF - FHWS Science Journal N2 - Flow-Design is a new approach in developing software architectures. Flow-Design focuses on data processing function units and the communication among them. Event-Based Components represent a programming language independent methodology for implementing Flow-Design and can also be considered as a resulting software architecture. The Event-Based Components software architecture is structured by components that communicate via events. Therefore it is compared to the concept of service-oriented architecture and event-driven architecture which aim to create independent components as well. In conclusion Flow-Design and Event-Based Components provide a platform and programming language independent concept to develop software components. The resulting components are reusable, maintainable and testable. Although it can lead to a more complex coding.
