ASPECT-an Architecture SPECification Technique a report on work in progress

We discuss ASPECT, a first step towards a generic specification technique for software architectures. We present and discuss an abstract grammar for ASPECT that lists and relates to each other all the architectural elements that form ASPECT's vocabulary. After elaborating on the characteristics of these architectural elements, we illustrate their application in a small example.
