When considering the design of an architectural description language ( ADL ) to be used as part of a software developer 's daily practice, two goals merit attention. First, the language should support the easy definition of new element types and architectural styles. Second, it should play a central role in system construction. A proposed ADL , called UniCon-2, addresses these goals with its flexible type system, its duty construct, and its extensible compiler architecture based on OLE . Such an ADL provides a good starting point for explor- ing the architectural description of families of systems and flexible componentry. system construction. The marriage between system description and system construction is natural, since both at heart are about the pieces make up a system and how those pieces fit together. The compiler or environment for an ADL can provide a natural home for the construction methods of a given architectural style, as well as many of the niggling details that underlie architectural connections. Typical details include: the input format for the RPC stub generator and the knowledge of how to invoke it; methods for creating pipe and filter systems with arbitrary topologies, without causing deadlock; and the right list of kernel calls to initialize a system under a real-time operating system. An ADL that encapsulates such details and makes system construction easier would be especially attractive to practitioners. An ADL that meets these goals makes a good starting point for exploring architectural descriptions of families of systems. Many developers work not on a single product, but on a group of products, each of which is a small variation on a common theme. The architectures of these variants may have many, but not all, parts in common and may connect those parts in slightly different ways. Current ADL s are inadequate to describe architectural styles that have this kind of prescribed envelope of variability. Further, a cousin of the family of systems problem is the problem of
