“…The late 90s and early 2000s saw the emergence of a major research theme around ADLs (Architecture Description Languages). We can quote generic languages such as Rapide [19], [20], Darwin [21] and Wright [22], and specialized languages such as AADLs for avionic industry [23] and MetaH for embedded systems [24].…”

Abstract-Current applications have characteristics related to the variability of both execution context (available resources) and user requirements (functional goals). Adaptability of software applications is precisely their ability to evolve in order to react,in the most possible optimal way, to these two types of variation. Designing and implementing such adaptation policy requires, first, be able to describe the current state of the application. This can match, according to the considered approach, the description of the application from the behavioral perspective or its description by considering the architectural point of view. This paper considers the second option targeting the Web Service technology. It introduces a sub language of the XML meta-language whose purpose is to provide a highlyexpressive description of software architectures. The use of XML allowshaving homogeneous description with respect to the description of elementary entities (i.e. Web Services) using another XML sub language, WSDL.

Abstract. This paper provides an overview of the vspec behavioral interface specification language for vhdl. Although operational specification language such as vhdl provide exceptional specification capabilities, at the systems requirements level the operational style is a hindrance. vspec provides vhdl users with a declarative mechanism for defining functional requirements and performance constraints. In the tradition of behavioral interface specification languages, vspec adds clauses to the vhdl entity construct allowing axiomatic specification of functional requirements. Because system constraints play an ever increasing role in systems design, vspec also provides performance constraint specification capability. This paper presents the basics of vspec, its semantics, semantic analysis, and briefly describes current and future applications.

“…To address component composition, this approach uses dynamic architectures, which reconfigure the software architecture while the program is running. 13 The SRI approach addresses such problems as how to select components, connectors, and topologies (interface matching) and how to decide whether a particular architectural solution satisfies given architectural constraints.…”
