Abstract:
Many formal languages to describe software architectures
(SA) have been proposed so far, but only very few of
them are still supported and used in practical contexts.
Many UML profiles and extensions have been provided when
UML became a standard, in order to model as much as
possible architectural concepts. They allow to specify
specific needs, but the effort in creating a sort of
unified UML-based language for architectures is still
not paying.
In fact, since different communities require different
information to be put into a diagram, depending on which
architectural design aspects should be represented and
analyzed, the idea of an unified UML language for SA
seems to be not adequate. Building on these
considerations, we propose DUALLY, a core set of UML
concepts, well suited for SA modeling, together with a
framework which provides extensibility mechanisms to
adapt the initial notation, in order to meet different
needs.
