Monarch: model-based development of software architectures

Published: 03 October 2010 Publication History

Abstract

In recent work we showed that it is possible to separate, and combine formal representations of, application properties and architectural styles, respectively. We do this by defining style-specific mappings from style-independent application models to architectural models in given styles. This paper shows that this separation of concerns supports a model-based development and tools approach to architectural-style-independent application modeling, and architecture synthesis with style as a separate design variable. In support of these claims, we present a proof-of-concept tool, Monarch, and illustrate its use.
