【 摘 要 】

COMMUNITY and its categorical foundations provide a formal approach to Software Architecture (SA). Several concepts such as (re)configuration and (higher-order) connector have been given precise defnitions in this setting. One of the cornerstones of the approach is the separation between computation, coordination and distribution. In this paper, we take this separation one step further and define explicit architectural views, one for each concern. They will be used to help to detect errors made while building the architecture. Moreover they will be a support to improve the design of the system by focusing on one concern at a time and/or by combining them with each other. In order to test the runtime behaviour of the system, the views are used as support to the distributed execution of the developed architecture.
