Abstract

Compared to UML 1.x, UML 2.x has improved the mechanisms for describing the architecture of systems. We show how to make UML 2.x describe configurations, not only in terms of setting values of system properties but also in terms of rearranging elements of the architecture. We also argue that the instance model of UML 2.x can be replaced by our notion of configurations and that this may imply a generalization of the notions of snapshot and constructor.
