Abstract

This paper outlines our experience of using a reflective π-calculus based Architecture Description Language (ADL) to create an 'Active' Software Engineering Environment (SEE). It describes the concept of an 'Active' SEE developed as part of the, EU supported, project ArchWare. It analyses a small fragment of that implementation to illustrate the suitability, of the ADL language and environment, for the task of implementing such ‘Active' systems.
