Executable architecture

Template:Undercontruction

An Executable Architecture (EA), in general, is the description of a system architecture in a formal notation together with the tools (e.g. compilers/translators) that allow the automatic or semi-automatic generation of artifacts (e.g. Capability Gap Analysis (CGA), Models, SW Stubs, MSDL) from that notation and which are used in the analysis, refinement, and/or implementation of the architecture described.^[1]

Implementations of EA include:

• Object Management Group's Model-driven architecture
• Object Management Group's Business Process Management Initiative
• Vanderbilt University's Model Integrated Computing (MIC)
