……

Motivation of this Work (ii)

The qualityqualityqualityquality of an SA depends on how stakeholderstakeholderstakeholderstakeholderconcernsconcernsconcernsconcerns are supportedconcernsconcernsconcernsconcerns are supported

� this issue depends on:

the used architectural languages (ADL)

the architecture framework

Motivation of this Work (iii)

in industry architects try to solve this issue by:

1. Using multiple views1. Using multiple views

2. Extending the used ADLs

* This data comes from a survey I worked onabout the usage of ADLs in industry

[SURVEY_2012][SURVEY_2012][SURVEY_2012][SURVEY_2012]

Motivation of this Work (iv)

however …

1. frameworks tend to be closed� difficult to reuse viewpoints and concerns across organizations

and domains

2. poor support for ADLs adaptation– big effort to adapt the engine for the extended language– big effort to adapt the engine for the extended language– extensions are not reusable across languages

3. views consistency is still one of the harder problems in software architecture*

* Just Enough Software ArchitectureJust Enough Software ArchitectureJust Enough Software ArchitectureJust Enough Software Architecture, George Fairbanks, 2010

Goal

… to support the definition of Architecture frameworkswith a special consideration for views consistency and with a special consideration for views consistency and architecture description languages extensibility

Intuition:Intuition:Intuition:Intuition:

• try to get architecture frameworks and ADLs closer to system stakeholders concernsstakeholders concerns

• make architecture frameworks and ADLs adaptable and extensible

• keep consistent the set of views of the system

Tangible Benefits

Software architects may

1. define new frameworks by composing views, viewpoints, ADLs and correspondences among them

2. define new ADLs by extending and customizing existing ones

3. model the system in an environment in which ADLs interoperate and models conforming to different ADLs are automatically kept consistent

“models are precise artifacts that can be understood by computers and can be automatically manipulated”
