Architectural reflection for software evolution - Rank, Stephen
Software evolution is expensive. Lehman identifes several
problems associated with it: Continuous adaptation, increasing
complexity, continuing growth, and declining quality. This paper
proposes that a reflective software engineering environment will
address these problems by employing languages and techniques from the software
architecture community.
Creating a software system will involve manipulating a collection of
views, including low-level code views and high-level architectural
views which will be tied together using reflection.
This coupling will allow the development environment to automatically
identify inconsistencies between the views, and support software
engineers in managing architectures during evolution.
