“…In current version, it translates the ACME models (Klein, Clements, and Kazman, 2002) supported by three styles: Client-Server, Pipes-Filters, Pipes-Filters and Client-Server and provides a common language for describing formal semantics with OCL. To illustrate the application of the ViSAQE for both evaluation and selection of an architectural style we use the CaPiTaLiZe system (Abi-Antoun, Aldrich, Garlan, Schmerl, Nahas, Tseng, 2005) as an example. The following architect requirements are considered:…”

Today, many architectural styles have been proposed and many others are being defined. An architectural style provides a domain-specific design vocabulary and a set of constraints on how that vocabulary is used. Given the increasing complexity of architectural styles, designing a sound and appropriate architectural style becomes an important and intellectually challenging task. In order to analyze architectural styles quality factors at architecture level and meta level are needed. In this article we propose a metamodel for quality evaluation and selection of architectural style. Our metamodel includes a set of metaclasses; these metaclasses are constrained with formal OCL rules. These constraints allow us to improve the verification of the properties' quality of the architectures by modelling styles of the software system. With this metamodel, all the properties' quality of the final production are granted by the software architecture.

“…From the requirements specification, the design of a software system is described at a high level; it guides the various stages of the development process. There exists a variety of designdriven approaches, ranging from Architecture Description Languages (ADLs) (e.g., [4]) to UML-based developments (e.g., [5], [6]). These approaches rely on a notion of design language that provides syntax (whether or not textual) and abstractions allowing one to express the design of a software system.…”

Design-driven software development approaches have long been praised for their many benefits on the development process and the resulting software system. This paper discusses a step towards assessing these benefits by proposing an experimental study that involves a design-driven, tool-based development approach. This study raises various questions including whether a design-driven approach improves software quality and whether the tool-based approach improves productivity. In examining these questions, we explore specific issues such as the approaches that should be involved in the comparison, the metrics that should be used, and the experimental framework that is required.
