Integrating the UML with some existing Architecture Description Language (ADL) has already been addressed. One approach is to define rules for translating architectural descriptions from a particular ADL into UML. Another approach is to add key constructs needed by software architecture modeling to the standard UML. However, using this second approach will result in a large and complex language, hard to understand and to use. This paper proposes a third approach which is based on extending UML in a standard way, i.e., by using only standard extension mechanisms of the UML, resulting in a "Profile for Software Architecture Descriptions".
