Documenting Software Architectural Component and Connector with UML 2

Abstract

Earlierversions of the UML have been an out of depth for documenting software architectures like component, port, connector and system. Users have adopted conventions for representing architectural concepts using different grouping of UML modeling element. They can also create profiles to focus the UML. Changes incorporated in UML 2 have improved UML’s suitability for software architectural documentation, but UML is still an out of your depth for documenting some types of architectural information. In this paper, there is description of documenting component and connector using UML but in particular case, documenting architectural connectors and components remains problematic.
