Formal approaches to software architecture,s how to use formalism to understand the design space for a commonly used architectural style. The third considers the problem of providing a formal basis for the generic notion of architectural interconnection.

Many faces of software architecture,s for design artifacts. We hypothesize that quality and productivity in software development would be improved if software designers were to arrive at similar agreements. As a first step, we look at representations related to software architecture..Since software architecture is an emerging field, t

Procedure calls are the assembly language of software interconnection: Connectors deserve first-claophisticated relations among components. However, the configuration tools at their disposal restrict them to composition mechanisms directly supported by the programming language. To remedy this lack of expressiveness, we must elevate the relations among components to first-class entities of the sys

Software structure characterization using connectivity,ltigraphs, provides both a diagrammatic syntax for describing system structures and a mechanism for specifying patterns of systems. We define a taxonomy of structure classes using sets of patterns. A system is a member of a structure class if its description in the notation matches a pattern for tha

Regularities in software systems,s. Yet, as is argued in this paper, the inherent globality of regularities makes them very hard to establish in traditional methods, unless they are imposed on a system by some kind of higher authority. This paper explores an approach to regularities which greatly simplifies their implementation, ma

Difficulties with object-oriented frameworks,frameworks are distributed as source code with little or no design documentation. This complicates both the instantiation and extension of these frameworks..We illustrate this problem by examining the HotDraw framework, which provides 2D graphical editing capabilities in the Smalltalk environment.

Using a metasystem approach to support and study the design process,model is described and illustrated with the definition of a structure chart design environment. The use of Metaview in the support of transformations to design and expression of design metrics is demonstrated. Support for the capture of design rationale and automatic software diagram layout are disc

Constructing software design theories and models,uch a method is concerned with constructing a . of the system being built that satisfies the theory of this method. We suggest that it is useful to make the underlying design theory explicit, and to allow the designer to extend it to more closely describe the system being built. This paper describes
