A Methodology of Automated Realization of a Software Architecture Design.

Architecture description languages (ADLs) are developed to precisely and formally describe software conceptual architecture that is distinguished from the system’s implementation. Due to the gap between an architecture model and its implementation, the benefits of ADLs cannot be fully realized without a systematic mapping from an architectural description to an implementation. However, the implementation of an architecture model is not only error-prone, but also hard to verify. Some ADLs support code generation from software architecture. However, most of them cannot enforce communication integrity in the implementation. In this paper, we present a methodology to translate software architecture designs to ArchJava automatically and the communication integrity is guaranteed by ArchJava.
