Many special-purpose ADLs have been developed since the 1990s, including [[Architecture analysis and design language|AADL]] (SAE standard), [[Wright (ADL)|Wright]] (developed by Carnegie Mellon), [[Acme (ADL)|Acme]] (developed by Carnegie Mellon), xADL (developed by UCI), [[Darwin (ADL)|Darwin]] (developed by [[Imperial College London]]), DAOP-ADL (developed by University of Málaga), SBC-ADL (developed by [[National Sun Yat-Sen University]]), and [[ByADL (ADL)|ByADL]] (University of L'Aquila, Italy).

Software architecture descriptions are commonly organized into [[view model|views]], which are analogous to the different types of [[blueprint]]s made in building [[architecture]]. Each view addresses a set of system concerns, following the conventions of its ''viewpoint'', where a viewpoint is a specification that describes the notations, modeling, and analysis techniques to use in a view that expresses the architecture in question from the perspective of a given set of stakeholders and their concerns ([[ISO/IEC 42010|ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010]]). The viewpoint specifies not only the concerns framed (i.e., to be addressed) but the presentation, model kinds used, conventions used and any consistency (correspondence) rules to keep a view consistent with other views.
