Abstract

We address the problem of describing and analyzing not only functional but also performance properties of software architectures in a formal framework. We thus develop an architectural description language with a precise syntax and semantics and we illustrate the various kinds of analysis that can be conducted on its descriptions, such as architectural compatibility and conformity checking, functional verification, and performance evaluation. The proposed architectural description language is based on stochastically timed process algebras by virtue of their compositionality, which makes them suited to work with at the architectural level.
