Institution/Company: University of California, Irvine
Description: Interactively monitors messages in a running C2-style application. Architects can interactively place probes on any component and/or connector and monitor all incoming and/or outgoing messages. Uses a private internal representation for architectural models. Exports architectural models to ACME. Can export either an ACME file, DOT file (AT&T's graph language), or ASCII text file formats. It reads Armani architectural constraints or its own ASCII text file format. Provides a text-based user interface for enabling and disabling message probes.
