Abstract
To formally describe architectures of software systems, specific lan-guages called Architecture Description Languages (ADLs) have been developed by academic institutions and research labs. However, more and more research and industrial projects are using the standard Unified Modeling Language (UML) for representing software architectures of systems. In this paper, we fo-cus on how to extend the UML by incorporating some key abstractions found in current ADLs, such as connectors, components and configurations, and how the UML can be used for modeling architectural viewpoints. Our approach is dem-onstrated by the software architecture of a video surveillance system. It is there-fore the purpose of the paper to show that a UML profile for software architec-ture abstractions is needed.
