Abstract

Many approaches to reducing the cost, complexity and development time of software applications have been explored. Several techniques, most recently the Object Oriented paradigm, have been developed to facilitate the reuse of code. Even when these techniques employ the notion of components, they do so only in a limited way within the language's environment at development time. Within the field of Software Engineering, the study of Software Architecture has emerged to provide language support for building configurations of components into runable systems. In this paper we present an XML Architecture Development Meta-Language. The specification is programming language independent. We discuss a prototype engine that uses this Meta-Language for the automated assembly of software applications.
