Abstract
Architectural styles are named collections of constraints on configurations of elements, and are believed to bring economies of scale in applying software architecture techniques to software development. Existing research on styles provides little guidance for the systematic design and construction of style elements. This paper proposes a framework, Alfa, for systematically and constructively composing architectural to obtain elements of styles. This is based on our observation that styles share many underlying concepts that lead to primitives. We have identified eight forms and nine functions as primitives that reflect the syntactic and semantic characteristics of styles and are expressive enough to compose their elements. Our approach is also illustrated using a familiar style -- pipe-and-filter.
