Abstract: Coupling architectural and implementation/behavioral models of a computer-based system by creating a bridge element, defining a port of the bridge element, associating the port of the bridge element with a port of an implementable element of an architectural model of a computer-based system and a port of an implementation element of an implementation/behavioral model of the computer-based system, mapping an interface member of the implementation element port to an interface member of the implementable element port, generating, from a template, skeleton source code applicable for the mapped interface member, generating a usage description element for the architectural model corresponding to the mapped interface member, generating an architectural description document from the architectural model, generating implementation code from the implementation/behavioral model and the generated skeleton source code, and generating a declaration file for an operating system service for use by the implementation code.

Abstract: A method of creating a system having pluggable analysis viewpoints over a design space model based on templates for analytical representation of different system aspects, comprising: a) Ontologically representing each of a plurality of system viewpoints with a subset of the components and classes using attributes and inter-attribute relationships. b) Automatically creating a unified design space model represented by the design space components according to a plurality of user defined pluggable analysis viewpoints and modeling viewpoints. c) Automatically generating a design space model derived from a plurality of analysis and modeling viewpoints. d) Receiving at least one change marked by a user with respect to a certain one of the plurality of analysis and modeling viewpoints. e) Automatically updating the design space model and the plurality of viewpoint models to reflect the at least one change. f) Outputting the updated design space model and the plurality of viewpoint models.
