The increasing interest in the software architecture of systems stems from the need to generate product families, to facilitate the reuse of components, to better understand systems and to redocument them. This paper introduces our approach to recover and describe a system's architecture: different aspects of a system (i.e. architectural properties) are recovered and then described. The recovery process focuses on architectural properties, such as safety and variance and their description, but not on the recovery of a complete system's architecture. Such a property-driven recovery allows to incrementally investigate those aspects of a system that are of special interest for the recovery purpose. Additionally the paper presents our architecture recovery framework and process, and an example illustrating the applicability of our framework.
