软件体系结构的图形语法

A Picture Syntax of Software Architecture

软件体系结构是最近几年计算机科学热点研究课题之一。图形软件体系结构具有更多的视觉效果,并且更容易让人理解。软件系统是由许多组件组合而成的,大规模的软件系统可能超过一般人的理解能力。这需要一种能精确描述软件组织和结构的规则。软件体系结构的语法描述提供了这样一种手段．文中提出一种适合描述软件体系结构的图形语法,并说明它在软件体系结构逆向工程的应用。

Software architecture has become a new research focus in recent years. Picture description of software architecture offers good visual sense so that viewers can catch the meaning with ease.Software systems consist of many components. The systems could expand to the extent, which are beyond the understanding ability of human being. It is necessary to depict the structure of software components exactly. The article presents a syntactic way to describe software architecture. Based on syntax description, the article also puts forward a reengineering idea as an example of its application.
