Aiming at some limitations of traditional network formal description languages
a novel network architecture description language
named INSADL
is proposed and its design philosophy and major characteristics are introduced.By absorbing the main research results and practical experiences of software engineering
INSADL emphasizes on explicitly separating service from protocol that can effectively support the formal modeling of network architecture.As an example of INSADL’s application
how to specify the architecture of distributed streaming media service (DSMS) in INSADL is also introduced and discussed.By describing and analyzing the entity components
interaction connectors and architectural configuration of DSMS architecture
the formal description and architectural analysis capabilities of INSADL are demonstrated and validated.
