Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new UML2.0 profile to describe the change of software architectures. The profile introduces a set of stereotypes for modeling the structural and the dynamic aspect as well as architectural constraints. We adapt the component diagrams metamodel on specific purposes by extending existing metaclasses. The adaptations are defined using stereotypes which are grouped in a profile. The profile offers to the architects an intuitive and complete way to specify the software architecture based on visual notations.
