Abstract

Software architectures may be described using text-based architecture description language(ADL). The key goals of an ADL are to communicate alternate designs between different stakeholders, to detect reusable structures, and to record design decisions. This paper provided a solution to the representation problem by creating a tool for three-dimensional representation of architectural viewpoints. The tool consisted of an architecture description language(VTADL) to first describe the software architectures and viewpoints on the architectures; and a VTADL-to-VRML translater to translate each viewpoint into a separate virtual reality world. The goal of the paper was to devise algorithms for translating an ADL into effective VRML representations based on the desired viewpoint. The VRML representations were intended to enhance comprehension on the overall design and to improve communications between diverse stakeholders.
