Abstract :
We discuss ASPECT, a first step towards a generic specification technique for software architectures. We present and discuss an abstract grammar for ASPECT that lists and relates to each other all the architectural elements that form ASPECT´s vocabulary. After elaborating on the characteristics of these architectural elements, we illustrate their application in a small example
