We present a methodology and algorithms for automatic refinement from a given design specification to an architecture model based on decisions in architecture exploration. An arch...
Abstract. The importance of modelling the dynamic architectural characteristics of software systems has long been recognised. However, the nature of the dynamic architectural chara...
Model-driven Architecture (MDA) is a software architecture framework proposed by the Object Management Group OMG. MDA emphasises the importance of modelling in the architectural de...
Aspect-oriented concepts are currently introduced in early stages of software development to achieve better separation of concerns. However, at the architecture level, there exists...
