Abstract

This paper proposes a graph-based approach for the specification of component-based architectures. We have proposed Component Architecture Graph (CAG), a new graphical model for representing UML component diagram. A set of metrics has been defined based on this graph, which will help in measuring several architectural aspects of a system. A case study is presented for presenting the new graphical model and analysis based on the metrics has been discussed.
