Abstract:

In this paper, we propose an overall software architecture for the application domain of cooperative buildings. Based on an analysis of the predominant functional requirements, we develop a business-oriented conceptual framework, establishing a common understanding of a cooperative building?s entities and their relations. The framework is then mapped to an abstract technical software architecture with suitable system components and interactions. The resulting overall architecture provides a unifying high-level model of the various existing technical infrastructures for cooperative buildings, upon which interoperable solutions may be constructed.
