Abstract
How to organize crossing social network resources on a higher level of integration and address them to users’ desktops is an important difficult problem. Especially, there is a lack of efficient approaches to software architecture to build reusable system over the crossing social network. From the viewpoint of temporal logic XYZ/E, this paper proposes a kind of Architecture Description Language about the Crossing Social Network system (CSN_ADL), which can be used to depict the main key processes over the cross-social network system, and formally defines some key concepts, such as relation component, corelation component, override corelation connector, interaction connector, corelation network-oriented architecture, as well as system correctness, system activity, and system safety. Furthermore, some properties of correctness, activity, and safety under the frame CSN_ADL is discussed and depicted formally, which provides a formally theoretical instruction for architecture reuses.
