Bahía Norte, located in Alicante, is an artificial coastal area that suffers from erosion, which disturbs the environment, the life and the economy of surrounding areas. In order to mitigate the erosion problem, a solution that provides coastal improvements and allows users to enjoy the structure is proposed. This solution develops artificial surfing reefs as a part of coastal protection management. An artificial surfing reef is not a new concept. However, it is an unknown and innovative idea in the Mediterranean Sea. Given that artificial surfing reefs are a reliable solution for the erosion suffered by the Mediterranean coastline. The project has five aims: controlling the sand loss, providing a recreational area for surfing, improving the security of the swimmers, revitalizing a depressed area and avoiding the visual noise of common structures of coastal defense. Artificial surfing reefs shape new driven current cells that cause an accretion in the shoreline by changing the pre-existing sea currents. Moreover, in order to improve surfing conditions, they fit the shape and height of the incoming waves. This research achieves an alteration of 420 meters of shore with a maximum salient formation of 50 meters, which fits perfectly to the situation of the artificial beach closed by groins. This research has also proved the importance of developing a careful study for the emplacement for this kind of reef being the distance from the structure to the shoreline one of the most determinant factors. It suggests that placing the artificial reef at 200 meters from the coast would be an adequate option.

The use of well-designed class libraries and frameworks is a key element of object-oriented software development. However, while frameworks may significantly reduce development time and cost, they are dificult to understand and therefore hard to learn to use.We present an environment that supports documenting, browsing and editing of selected aspects offrameworks and framework-based applications on an abstraction level that is not available through static or dynamic program analysis. The main ideas of this environment are a specialized desktop metaphor for visualizing and browsing software architectures, the support of framework-based development by means of architecture templates, and an open tool architecture that supports the integration of any additional tools for visualizing and editing application and framework parts. Motivation and overviewObject-oriented and component-based programming focus intensely on software reuse. Reusing large libraries and frameworks leads to reduced development time and cost. In addition, welldesigned frameworks may lead to higher flexibility and better overall maintainability [ 11.The drawback of a heavily reuse-oriented approach is the effort that is involved in finding and understanding the reusable assets. Many libraries and frameworks are large and complex. A significant amount of time has to be invested in learning and understanding classes, responsibilities and their collaborations.One way to aid in understanding class libraries and frameworks is to provide various forms of documentation (linear documentation, hypertext cookbooks, tutorials, active cookbooks, diagrams, etc.). Another way is to examine the source code using dedicated tools called browsers. Browsers extract information about a system's architecture and implementation directly from the system itself (source code, run-time information) and present it to the user from a particular viewpoint. Examples of browsers provided by many object-oriented environments are class hierarchy browsers, search engines, import/export analyzers and cross-reference tools. Most software development environments provide moderate to good support for browsing and editing source code, but they lack high-level tools for investigating and manipulating framework and application architectures.We follow a hybrid approach that includes elements from both manual creation of documentation and browsing source code. We present the Architecture Explorer, an environment that supports documenting, browsing and editing of certain aspects of a software system's architec-316 0-7695-0918-5/00 $10.00 Q Zoo0 IEEE 317ture on an abstraction level that is not available from just inspecting the system itself. The main ideas of this environment are a specialized desktop metaphor for visualizing and browsing software architectures, the support of framework-based development by means of architecture templates, and an open tool architecture that supports the integration of any additional tools for visualizing and editing application or framework parts.
