Transformation of the Religious Spatiality in Yucatan： A Look From a Contemporary Perspective

Social transformations have been changed in thinking and observable current religious institutions in contemporary architectural manifestations. Likewise, observed these changes in religious buildings of the past, they were current and contemporary in its own time, which has allowed them to remain in force in its architectural spatiality and its urban relationships, serving as the historical bridge 1;hat allows analyzing the contemporary perspective in Mexico and particularly in Yucatan. The goal of this paper is to carry out a contemporary look to the interior and exterior of the temples in Yucatan colonial architecture to establish the process of change and permanence of spatiality and volumes that have allowed liturgy procedures as well as the way of approach to the sacredness of the Catholic communities from the colonial period to the present day. On the other hand, interest to establish, in particular, as the colonials religious buildings have been maintained in force and have appreciated for religious service to continue and in some cases, as they have given other kinds of services while maintaining its primordial spatiality.

Constraint-Preserving Architecture Transformations: A Graph Rewriting Approach

Architecture transformations are frequently performed during software design and maiatenance. However this activity is not well supported at a sufficiently abstract level. In this paper, the authors characterize architecture transformations using graph rewriting rules, where architectures are represented in graph notations. Architectures are usually required to satisfy certain constraints during evolution. Therefore a way is presented to construct the suffi- cient and necessary condition for a transformation to preserve a constraint. The condition can be verified before the application of the transformation. Validated transformations are guaranteed not to violate corresponding constraints whenever applied.

Enterprise application transformation strategy and roadmap design:A business value driven and IT supportability-based approach

This paper proposes a practical and framework-based approach to design an architecture transformation strategy and roadmap aiming to transform or modernize critical legacy enterprise systems.The approach is business value driven with IT supportability in terms of lower application operational and support costs,higher business value and shorter time to market of application delivery.The approach introduces a robust enterprise application architecture assessment framework with an emphasis on technical(internal)and strategic(external)perspectives to guide the application assessment and also a finance selfsupport transformation strategy to aid its transformation roadmap design.The approach was applied in multiple large enterprises successfully and received endorsements and positive feedback from the sponsors.The paper also presents a case study detailing the successful application of the approach to modernize an enterprise logistics transportation management system.
