Analyzing software architectures with Argus-I

Abstract

This formal research demonstration attempts to present an approach to develop and assess architecture and component-based systems based on specifying software architecture augmented by statecharts representing component behavioral specifications [1]. The approach is applied for the C2 style [2] and associated ADL and is supported within a quality-focussed environment, called Argus-I, which assists specification-based analysis and testing at both the component and architecture levels.
