Integrating architecture description languages: a semantics-based approach
ICDCIT'05: Proceedings of the Second international conference on Distributed Computing and Internet Technology

Numerous architectural description languages(ADLs) have been developed in the last decade. However, none of the ADLs and their toolsets are expressive enough to cover all the requirements that may be specified while developing a software system. An ADL ...
A Survey of Architecture Description Languages
IWSSD '96: Proceedings of the 8th International Workshop on Software Specification and Design

Architecture Description Languages (ADLs) are emerging as viable tools for formally representing the architectures of systems. While growing in number, they vary widely in terms of the abstractions they support and analysis capabilities they provide. ...
A Classification and Comparison Framework for Software Architecture Description Languages

Software architectures shift the focus of developers from lines-of-code to coarser-grained architectural elements and their overall interconnection structure. Architecture description languages (ADLs) have been proposed as modeling notations to support ...
