Layered Semantic Analysis of Software Architecture
Li-Jun Liao, Changyun Li, Gexin Ma, Zhibing Wang · 2012
The design of software architecture is hierarchical. The abstract level in different layers of software architecture is different, and certain conversion relation exists in adjacent layers of software architecture. The semantic layers of software architecture is analyzed from the views of topology and computation relationship, which explains causal relationship between adjacent layers where the upper layer is an abstract and restriction of the lower layer which is embodiment and explanation of the upper layer.
