【 摘 要 】

The techniques of meta-modeling and meta-levels have become a mature concept and have been largely used to solve real problems in programming languages, distributed environments, knowledge representation, or data bases. In this article it is shown how the same techniques can be applied in component-based software architecture. It also shown the need to propose mechanisms of reflexivitywithinthedomainof software architecture meta-modeling. The outcome of this is a meta-meta-architecture withaminimalcorewhosefinalityistodefine meta-components,meta-connectors and meta-architectures. Call this meta-meta-architecture MADL (Meta Architecture Description Language).
