This paper reports on our experience with a relational approach to support the analysis of existing software architectures. The approach offers visualization and view calculation options, rule‑based design checks, and a survey of theory, tools, and applications. The approach has been applied to reverse engineering of software architectures. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
This paper reports on our experience with a relational approach to support the analysis of existing software architectures. The analysis options provide for visualization and view calculation. The approach has been applied for reverse engineering. It is also possible to check concrete designs against architecture-related rules. The paper surveys the theory, the tools and some of the applications developed so far. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
