ABSTRACT = {Recent research has developed a theoretical basis for
providing software architects with better support for planning
and carrying out major evolutions of software systems. However,
these theoretical models have yet to be implemented in a complete,
integrated tool. In this paper, we consider some of the challenges
involved in developing such a tool as a plug-in to an existing architecture
modeling framework. We present an experience report
based on the development of a prototype architecture evolution
tool as a plug-in to MagicDraw, a commercial UML tool. We
find that there are many practical obstacles to developing tools
for architecture evolution modeling as plug-ins, and we discuss
some of the key factors that plug-in developers should weigh when
considering frameworks.},
