  • Ana Nicolaescu: "Run-time Monitoring-based Evaluation and Communication Integrity Validation of Software Architectures"

Abstract. Architecture descriptions greatly contribute to the understanding, evaluation and evolution of software but despite this, up-to-date software architecture views are rarely available. Typically, only initial descriptions of the static view are created but during the development and evolution process the software drifts away from its description. Methods and corresponding tool support for reconstructing and evaluating the current architecture views have been developed and proposed, but they usually address the reconstruction of static and dynamic views separately. Furthermore, according to our observations in the industry, these tools are rarely applied, as they lack important features to enable a meaningful monitoring. To overcome this, we are working on ARAMIS, a general architecture for building tool-based approaches that support the architecture-centric evolution and evaluation of software systems with a strong focus on their behavior.
