Reference Architecture provides a standard framework, which explains business, usage, functional, and implementation viewpoints. Based on the reference architecture, systems are developed and deployed, even considering situations in the future. In other words, the reference architecture of a business comprises functions and interfaces, which assist in the step-by-step implementation of complex technologies. A software reference architecture refers to a higher level system architecture, which provides the details of the software structures, elements, relations, and properties among them. Thus, continuous revision of the reference architecture is necessary in order to incorporate the new insights into the system, as shown in Fig. 5.2(b).
Enterprise Architecture

The idea behind this is that an enterprise, by using a reference architecture, is more likely to include all relevant views in their architecture, will adopt best practices into their architecture, and will be able to create the architecture much more rapidly than if they did it from scratch. Additionally, the use of a reference architecture provides some insurance that the resulting architecture will be useful and completed on schedule.

The reference architecture is the conceptual framework for the domain and is used to compose systems. This architecture is an abstraction of the system architectures based on platforms, programs, protocols, and standards. The reference architecture is defined in domain terms found in the domain model. In fact, the reference architecture can be perceived as an activity-based view of the domain model. An example of a reference architecture is shown in Fig. 2.15.
Evaluation of JADE multi-agent system and Erlang holonic control implementations for a manufacturing cell
Published in International Journal of Computer Integrated Manufacturing, 2019
To improve the reliability and validity of the proposed evaluation and discussion, the same developer performed both implementations. The premise of implementing a common reference architecture relies on consistency in the developer’s understanding and interpretation of the architecture. Additionally, even though the code is significantly different, the developer follows a similar approach in each implementation. The relevant expertise and experience possessed by the developer is thus important to the context of the discussion.

The purpose of reference architectures is to facilitate planning of the structure and behavior of the data-analytic system. The reference architecture supports the understanding of the structures, behaviors and interrelationships between the elements of the data-analytic system, which can be hardware and software tools, data models, data-management methods, data-analysis methods, visualization tools, etc.
The emergence of cognitive digital twin: vision, challenges and opportunities

A reference architecture aims to capture the essence of a collection of system architecture in the same domain, thus to guide the development of new architectures of systems from this domain (Muller 2008). In order to facilitate the development of CDT, a couple of reference architectures for CDT have been proposed in previous studies.
