Abstract

All software systems are built by teams of programmers working in parallel. In this context, software merging concerns the creation of a version of the system that integrates the concurrent changes. Such techniques have been widely used at the levels of programs and model-driven engineering. The objective of this paper is to show that this technique can be used at software architecture level, taking into account the advantages of the latter. More precisely, we represent software architecture by an internal form. This permits to capture all mapping and differences between components of software architectures, detect conflicts, and merge them in a new version if they are compatibles. Also this paper shows the applicability of this approach through an appropriate example.
