Software Architecture in Model Driven Architecture

Open publisher page 8 citations

Abstract

The development of software architecture is complex due to the absence of a standard way that would lead the generation of software architecture artifacts. This paper proposes a method that would allow to derive the software architecture of any system based on its analysis model. For that purpose, we introduce a new layer to the model driven architecture (MDA) that takes into account the software architecture. The analysis model is termed the architecture independant model (AIM), which is compliant to the UML 2.0 metamodel. In addition, we consider the software architecture in the architecture specific model (ASM), which complies to the defined architectural metamodel. The mapping of AIM into ASM is conducted by using the both metamodels.
