Abstract

One crucial aspect of high quality software engineering is the development of a well- defined software architectural model. Such a model describes the runtime manifestation of a software system in terms of its high level components and their interconnections. A good architectural model can be used as the basis for design-time analysis to determine whether a software system will meet desired quality attributes.
