Charmy is a practical framework to iteratively modelling and evaluating software architectures.
Charmy makes use of model checkers while hiding any complexity to final users.
PSC (Property Sequence Chart) is a graphical language for describing temporal properties. This language is the result of an accurate analysis in the direction of finding the "right" balance between expressive power and simplicity of use.
What are the architectural description needs of practitioners? What features typically supported by existing architectural languages are useful (or not useful) for the software
industry? Find an aswer here.
ByADL (Build Your ADL) is a framework that exploits model-driven techniques for extending and customizing existing Architecture Description Languages (ADLs).
The current practice of software architecture modeling and analysis would benefit of using different architectural languages, each specialized on a particular view and each enabling specific analysis. Dually is a framework that supports the automatic propagation of changes among different notations and tools.
Other results on architectural languages interoperability might be found here and here.

is tool which allows the specification of a software system SA through diagrammatic, UML-based notations, and the validation of the architectural specification conformance with respect to certain functional requirements. Model checking techniques are used to check the consistency between the software architecture and the functional requirements.
PSC is a simple but expressive graphical formalism for specifying temporal properties. Two are the main requirements of PSC, simplicity and expressiveness.
Dually is a framework to create interoperability among ADLs themselves as well as UML. Dually allows architects to transform concepts of an architectural model into semantically equivalent concepts in other architectural models. Dually is implemented as an Eclipse plugin.
is a framework for developing next generation ADLs according to their evolved requirements. With byADL, an existing ADL can be extended with (i) domain specific concerns, (ii) analysis notations, (iii) new architectural views, and (iv) methodologies and processes that support other life-cycle activities.
is an infrastructure for realizing architecture frameworks. It builds upon the conceptual foundations of ISO/IEC 42010 for architecture description. MEGAF is realized through megamodeling techniques.
(EVolution of free and Open Source Software) promotes the simulation of upgrades to predict failures before affecting the real system, thus improving over the state of the art of package managers.
