Abstract
Software systems reconfiguration is actually an inevitable task that might be considered in system development life cycle, since user requirements and execution environment are continuously evolving. Nevertheless, the design and maintenance of robust reconfigurable and adaptable applications is still a complex task. In the aim to overcome such complexity, we adopt a formal support for modeling these applications, specifying adaptation scenarios and expressing global properties. This paper defines a formal model for specifying dynamically reconfigurable software architectures. Reconfiguration process is formalized here through a three layered model: the basic level defines elementary operations to create, modify and delete architectural elements; the second level defines a set of rules implementing the reconfiguration process; and the top level uses strategies to control the reconfiguration process and ensure executing reconfiguration phases in an atomic manner.
