Abstract

Over the past decade a number of architecture descriptionlanguages (ADLs) have been proposed to facilitatemodeling and analysis of software architecture. Whileeach claims to have various benefits, to date there havebeen few studies to assess the relative merits of these approaches.In this paper we describe our experience usingtwo ADLs to model a system initially described in UML,and compare their effectiveness in identifying system designflaws. We also describe the techniques we used forextracting architectural models from a UML system description.
