Abstract

Recently, component-based development (CBD) is rapidly spreading as a way of improving the reusability, productivity, and quality of software. For CBD to be effective in achieving such design objectives, the creation and integration of components must be based on a well-defined architecture that guides the correct composition and cooperation of application components. Software architecture must be described using an architecture description language (ADL) to ensure the correctness and preciseness of architecture models. In this paper, we propose the system architecture of an ADL tool set that can effectively support the use of CBD based on the domain architecture and we describe each component of the proposed system architecture. We also modify and redefine C2SADL that was developed to support the use of the description of C2 architectural style by UCI (University of California in Irvine) to facilitate the integration of separately described architecture models, and introduce the method of design and implementation of our ADL processor that partially implements the proposed ADL system architecture.

최근, 소프트웨어의 재사용성, 생산성, 그리고 품질을 높이기 위한 방법으로서 컴포넌트 기반의 소프트웨어 개발(CBD：Component-Based Development) 방식이 빠르게 확산되고 있다. CBD를 효과적으로 수행하기 위해서는 응용 컴포넌트들이 서로 정확하게 결합하여 작동할 수 있는 아키텍쳐를 기반으로 하여 컴포넌트의 생성과 합성 작업이 이루어질 수 있어야 한다. 소프트웨어 아키텍쳐는 아키텍쳐 기술 언어(ADL：Architecture Description Language)를 사용하여 기술되어야 정확하고 엄밀한 아키텍쳐 모델링이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 도메인 아키텍쳐 기반의 CBD에 효과적으로 사용될 수 있는 ADL 지원도구의 시스템 아키텍쳐를 제안하고, 제안한 시스템 아키텍쳐의 각 구성 요소들에 대하여 기술한다. 그리고 C2 스타일의 아키텍쳐 기술을 지원하는 UCI(University of California in Irvine)의 C2SADL을 변경하여 재정의한 ADL과 지원도구로서 개발 중인 ADL 지원도구의 설계 및 구현 방법을 기술한다. 본 연구팀이 개발 중인 ADL 지원도구는 본 논문에서 제안한 ADL 지원도구의 시스템 아키텍쳐의 일부 구성 요소들을 구현한다.
