Software Architectures and Coordination Models

Abstract

Coordination models and Software Architectures are strictly related but only a little attention has been paid to their integration. What we propose in this paper is an approach to trace coordination requirements from their definition to the low level specification. The UML Unified Process is extended to gain this objective and the theory is applied to a case study.
