초록

소프트웨어 시스템의 상위 수준 모델인 소프트웨어 아키텍쳐는 아키텍쳐 기술 언어(ADL)를 사용하여 표현된다. 하지만 ACME와 같은 대부분의 ADL들은 별도의 표기형식으로 배워야 하는 부담이 있기 때문에 아키텍쳐를 명세하는 언어로서 정착되지 못하였다. 반면 VML은 범용 모델링 언어로써 소프트웨어 개발의 전 과정에 일관된 표기형식과 폭넓은 지원도구들을 제공하고 있으므로 소프트웨어 개발을 위한 사실상의 표준 언어로 자리잡았다. 그러나 UML은 소프트웨어 아키텍쳐를 표현하도록 설계된 것은 아니기 때문에 UML을 사용하여 아키텍쳐를 표현하기 위해서는 UML을 확장, 변경하여야 한다. 지금까지 아키텍쳐 모델링에 UML을 이용하기 위한 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 하지만 지금까지의 이러한 연구의 대부분은 아키텍쳐의 핵심 개념들의 표현이 미흡했던 UML1.x에 기반하고 있으며 곧 발표될 UML2.0에서는 이전 버전에서 미흡했던 아키텍쳐 모델링에 유용한 개념들이 많이 추가되었다. 본 논문에서는 UML2.0에 기반한 아키텍쳐 모델링 언어를 정의하였다. UML2.0을 확장하여 Generic ADL을 정의하였으며 정의된 아키텍쳐 모델링 언어는 식당 예약 시스템을 모델링 하는데 사용되었다.

Software architecture, which is the high level model of a software system, should be specified with ADLs (Architecture Description Languages) for its clarity and preciseness. Most of ADLs such as ACME, however, have not come into extensive use in industries since ADL users should learn a distinct notation specific to architecture. On the other hand, UML is a do facto standard general modeling language for software developments. UML provides a consistent notation and various supporting tools during the whole software development cycle. UML, being a general modeling language, does not provide all concepts that are important to architecture description. UML should be extended in order to precisely model architecture. A number of researches on architecture modeling based on WML have been progressed. Ail of them, however, are based on the UML1.x. UML2.0 embraces much more concepts that are important to architecture modeling than UML1.x. In this paper. we defined an architecture modeling language based on UML2.0. We defined Generic ADL by extending UML2.0 and applied the defined Generic ADL to a restaurant reservation system.
