The description of software architectures has always been concerned with the definition of the appropriate notations or languages for designing the various architectural artifacts. The past ten years, formal or less formal Architecture Description Languages (ADLs) and supporting methods and tools have been proposed by researchers. Recently UML is being widely accepted in both industry and academia as a language for Architecture Description (AD), and there have been approaches of UML-based AD either by extending the language, or by mapping existing ADLs onto it. The upcoming UML 2.0 standard has also created great expectations about the potential of the language to capture software architectures and especially allow for early analysis of systems under development. The interest in this field is also raised by the IEEE 1471 standard for AD that can foster the use of UML through defined viewpoints. Furthermore, MDE and MDA are tightly connected with both UML and AD, thus promoting new approaches of combining these two.The interest of the UML community in the field of software architecture description is growing over the recent years, as indicated from the rising number of published research papers. This workshop will attempt to delve into this field, by presenting the latest research advances and by facilitating discussions between experts.This workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners that work on all aspects of Architectural Description of software systems with respect to the Unified Modeling Language. It will foster a presentation of the latest approaches on the field from both industry and academia, as well as a creative discussion between the participants in specific themes. Topics of the workshop include but are not limited to:• Case studies of UML-based AD • CASE tools that foster UML-based AD • Theoretical aspects, e.g. pros and cons of UML applied to AD, limitations of UML for AD • UML profiles for AD • Quality evaluation of UML-based AD • Mapping existing ADLs to UML • OCL in AD • UML 2.0 & AD • Transformations from requirements to architecture and to detailed design • Modeling architecture in an MDE chain • Application of UML to IEEE 1471-compliant AD • Alternatives to UML for AD • Architecting dependable and fault tolerant systems in UML A keynote speech will open the workshop, entitled 'Specifying and Enforcing Software Architectures', by Bran Selic of IBM Rational Software. After the sessions of paper presentations a panel discussion of invited experts will follow.The intended audience will be comprised of researchers and practitioners in Architectural Description relating to the use of UML. Attendance will be limited to a maximum of 30 participants.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
