Abstract
This paper presents a formal model of the blackboard system within
the context of a software architectural style, i.e., components,
connectors, and configurations. We present a refinement of a generic
controller component to perform a choice among the knowledge source that
can execute against the blackboard. In addition, we demonstrate the
benefits of depicting the blackboard system as an architectural style,
such as reusability, understandability, and the ability to use formal
software analysis and integration techniques. We discuss our formal
model of the blackboard software architecture in comparison with
previous formalizations of blackboard systems to show that the generic
architectural style can be specialized to meet the criteria of serial,
parallel, and distributed blackboard systems
