Abstract = {In component-based software engineering, software
architectures govern not only software development but also
software evolution. Indeed, to efficiently and accurately manage
software evolution and guarantee its quality, architecture models
should be at the core of the evolution process, be accurately
synchronized with the runtime systems and have their changes
and version information be completely tracked. As architecture
models are often captured by ADLs (Architecture Description
Languages), an ADL supporting architecture-centric evolution
is required. In this paper, we study how architecture-centric
evolution can be supported by the Dedal ADL. We thus propose
a dedicated CDL (Change Description Language) which models
architectural changes as first-class entities and describes them
from a semantic viewpoint.},
