Separation of concerns in software architecture via a multiviews description

During this last decade, several architecture description languages (ADLs) have been proposed. These ADLs provide an adequate framework for the specification of software systems in terms of components and connectors. In this paper, we deal with an advanced facet of software architecture description. Our aim is to describe at the architectural level the separation of concerns. This is done in a formal way. Thus, we propose a model for architecture description based on the view concept.
