Abstract
The notion of architectural connector was developed by Allen and Garland [1] as an important concept for the design of software architectures. In this paper, based on previous work introducing a generic approach for the definition of component-based concepts, we study how architectural connectors and components can be defined for class and sequence diagrams as a first step for applying this approach to full UML. In particular, the case of sequence diagrams is studied with some detail. A case-study of a lift system is used to illustrate these ideas.
