A Brief History of ADLs• Software architecture emerged as a research
discipline in the early 1990s• Soon thereafter, many notations were either
invented, recast, and/or argued for as architecture description languages– Wright, UniCon, Aesop, Acme, Rapide, Darwin, SADL, C2,
Weaves, CHAM, LILEAnna, MetaH, Demeter, UML 1.x, …– It seemed very important to have, or at least know, one
• Each provided modeling capabilities geared at software design– Though not necessarily architecture!
• They saw varying degrees of adoption and use
![Page 3: Moving Architectural Description from Under the Technology Lamppost Nenad Medvidovic University of Southern California Los Angeles, USA neno@usc.edu neno](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d3e5503460f94a17051/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Enter the “Funny” Questions• Is UML really an ADL?• Is Statecharts an ADL?• What makes LILEAnna an ADL?• Is Demeter a software design philosophy or a
language? And why is it an ADL?• Is Aesop an environment or an ADL?• Why is Rapide an ADL but its close cousin
VHDL is not?• Aren’t C2 and Weaves architectural styles?• Why isn’t Java na ADL?
![Page 4: Moving Architectural Description from Under the Technology Lamppost Nenad Medvidovic University of Southern California Los Angeles, USA neno@usc.edu neno](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d3e5503460f94a17051/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
And the Most Important Question
What is an ADL?
![Page 5: Moving Architectural Description from Under the Technology Lamppost Nenad Medvidovic University of Southern California Los Angeles, USA neno@usc.edu neno](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d3e5503460f94a17051/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Trying to Answer the Question• Conducted a study of ADLs in the late-1990s• Defined what an ADL is
– Eliminated several candidate notations in the process
• Suggested multiple dimensions for ADL understanding and classification
• Provided a detailed comparison of ADLs• Expanded and updated the study several times• Two principal publications came out of this work
– ESEC/FSE 1997– IEEE TSE 2000
![Page 6: Moving Architectural Description from Under the Technology Lamppost Nenad Medvidovic University of Southern California Los Angeles, USA neno@usc.edu neno](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d3e5503460f94a17051/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
So, What Was the Answer?
• An ADL is a language that provides features for modeling a software system’s conceptual architecture, distinguished from the system’s implementation.
• An ADL must support the building blocks of an architectural description – Components
• Interfaces
– Connectors– Configurations
![Page 7: Moving Architectural Description from Under the Technology Lamppost Nenad Medvidovic University of Southern California Los Angeles, USA neno@usc.edu neno](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d3e5503460f94a17051/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The Study in Retrospect – Benefits
• Improved the understanding of ADLs• The two papers became a commonly
accepted references in the SA community– After some grumbling, even the ADLs’ authors
accepted that the study was ultimately unbiased
• The definition became a “litmus test” for determining whether a particular notation is an ADL
![Page 8: Moving Architectural Description from Under the Technology Lamppost Nenad Medvidovic University of Southern California Los Angeles, USA neno@usc.edu neno](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d3e5503460f94a17051/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Study in Retrospect – Shortcomings• The “litmus test” was not always effective
– It took a 3-year study and a 60-page paper to “prove” that UML 1.x is not an ADL
– It took another 2-year study to demonstrate that, e.g., Darwin does, in fact, support (limited) connector modeling
• Still did not answer the question of what “conceptual architecture” means
• Did not provide any help with understanding deeper questions– What is a model?– What is architecture?– What are differences among styles, domain-specific
architectures, application families, product lines, product populations… ?

What Happened to the ADLs?• The 1st generation (“1G”) did not catch on
– Although there are some 2G ADLs in use
• Almost no broader adoption– (slight) Exceptions are MetaH, Weaves, and Rapide
• What are some of the obvious reasons?– Often targeted at research environments– Awkward syntax and/or semantics– Modeling rigidity– Limited and idiosyncratic analysis support– Inadequate tool support– UML
• Video killed the radio star…
![Page 13: Moving Architectural Description from Under the Technology Lamppost Nenad Medvidovic University of Southern California Los Angeles, USA neno@usc.edu neno](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d3e5503460f94a17051/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
A Deeper Reason• 1G ADLs focused exclusively on technology
– So did our study
• The broader context was completely missing– Relation to system requirements– Constraints imposed by implementation platforms– Characteristics of application domains– Organizational structure and politics– Business model– Position in the marketplace– …

The Three Lampposts (“3L”)
• Excessive or exclusive focus on technology is a critical failing of early ADLs
• 3L provides the needed answer– Illuminates the space of ADLs appropriately – Provides the necessary broad perspective on ADLs
and their role in product development– Helps to classify and evaluate ADLs– Explains ADLs’ successes and failures– Provides guidance for ADL developers
Different lamps can still “shine” at different intensities

AADL• Architecture Analysis and Design Language
– Initially stood for “Avionics ADL”
• Primarily textual• Very detailed
– An AADL component runs on a processor, which runs one or more processes, each of which contains one or more threads of control, all of which can receive instructions through in ports and send data through out ports over a bus…
Primary focus – embedded, real-time, hybrid systems

Some Observations
• Architecture embraces many concerns
• More mature and successful ADLs incorporate concerns from 3L
• Multiple views are a must
• No single set of modeling features is sufficient for every project
• Extensibility is a key property of ADLs
• Tools are often as important as notations
