“…Here are more representative definitions shown in [2]: connector is structural elements as important as components in software architecture, which defines the relationship between the components, explicitly describes the interaction, communication and coordination activities, provides connectivity and a set of guiding rules/agreements to components, manages component interactions and provides the necessary supportive mechanisms for interaction.…”

On the basis of interrelated researches, this essay summarizes the basic definition and classification, and provides a model which consists of six views to modeling composite connector. The center of this model is function view, with the aspect view, framework view, logic/data view, behavior view and integrated view running through, and then the above six views form a systematic whole describing and characterizing connectors and composite connectors. The model also provides design blueprint for the practical implementation.

“…As a result in order to distinguish the ports of a component, all requests occurred between the mentioned components and the next one should be considered. One component in case of being connected to the other, it is carried on through a port [5]. So all requests taken place between these two components are considered as required services or prepared services in this port.…”

Abstract-The aim of this paper is to design and creation of architecture description language to distributed software systems. Nowadays, distributed system is one of the very important subjects in the field of computer systems on which a lot of research is done. Hence, this paper tries to describe automatically distributed software architecture. In this method, first a sequential program is clustered and then the equivalent distributed architecture of this program on the base of suggested language is described. In order to describe distributed software architecture we need some necessary information which should be extracted in the form of short code. Using this short code which is obtained in the previous phase, distributed software architecture for sequential program is extracted. The name of the suggested architecture description language is "EAJAVA".

“…A connector is mainly represented by an interface and a glue specification [Oussalah04]. Basically, the interface shows the necessary information of the connector, including the number of interaction points, service type that a connector provides (communication, conversion, coordination, facilitation), connection mode (synchronous, asynchronous), transfer mode (parallel, serial) etc.…”

To provide hierarchical description from different software architectural view points we need more than one abstraction hierarchy and connection mechanisms to support the interactions among components. Also, these mechanisms will support the refinement and traceability of architectural elements through the different levels of each hierarchy. Current methods and tools provide poor support for the challenge posed by developing system using hierarchical description. This paper describes an architecture-centric approach allowing the user to describe the logical architecture view where a physical architecture view is generated automatically for all application instances of the logical architecture.
