Here is the terminology used in LISA.

LISA Terminology.

This Domain Language can be used to construct Applications that manipulates and analyzes the Architecture of software systems. As a matter of fact, this is a requirement if LISA is to be followed in the construction of such Applications.

An Application is built on top of LISA for analyzing software Architectures. It has the following capabilities:

• Find cyclic dependencies.
• Find Applications without Domain Languages.
• Find User Interfaces without Applications.
• Classify the leaves as reusable library, reusable application or end user application.
• Find possible Base Language conflicts.
• Find dependencies that go in the wrong direction; between app->app, app->if, if->if.

Contact the author of LISA if you are interested in using this Application.
