Nowadays, service-oriented architectures (SoA) are increasingly used to develop dynamic enterprise systems. Due to the increasing need for high quality services, it is desirable to consider different qualitative aspects in this architecture (for example security, availability, reliability, fault tolerance, etc.). As architecture analysis and design language (AADL) can be used in the analysis of partially defined architectural patterns with limited architectural details, it is suitable for specifying large-scale complex systems. In this paper, we present a formal approach to model functional and non-functional aspects in service oriented applications through AADL language. We will explain how different parts of SoA can be specified through AADL and how different non-functional aspects can be analyzed using the proper existing tools for AADL.
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.
