ArCon - (Ar)chitectural (Con)formance validation tool
ArCon is a tool for architecture conformance validation of systems modelled in UML/SysML. ArCon can provide an easy to use and intuitive way of specifying architectural rules and a mechanism to automatically validate that the system under development conforms to the rules specified. ArCon can validate a model and detect errors in the models breaking the defined rules.
What problem does ArCon solve?
To answer this question lets have a look at the role of architecture in the development process. In Figure 1(Upper left is a traditional process) traditional development process is shown.
The traditional process starts with the definition of the architecturally significant requirements; these are essentially the quality and non-functional requirements. Then the architect undertakes the architectural design addressing the architecture requiremen
