Abstract:
Architecture description formats like EAST-ADL and automotive open system architecture (AUTOSAR) use an extensible markup language (XML) based file representation. The complexity of the systems based on these architecture description languages often call for metrics definitions for the purpose of complexity or completeness management. The Swedish research project Synligare deals with improved management of complex systems based on EAST-ADL. One result from the project was that XPath could be used as a basis for the definition of design metrics, offering several advantages. XPath has further been demonstrated in the project to offer sufficient expressiveness and usability for the purpose.
