Architectural notations interoperability using the DUALLY framework

Abstract

Nowadays different notations for architectural modeling have been proposed, each one focussing on a specific appli- cation domain, analysis type, or modeling environment. No effective interoperability is possible to date. DUALLY is an automated framework that aims to offer an answer to this need allowing architectural languages and tools interoperability. DUALLY has been imple- mented as an Eclipse plugin and it is based on model trans- formation techniques. This demonstration paper shows DUALLY by applying its approach to a UML-based no- tation and an outstanding ADL.
