        abstract = "Nowadays, information systems are large and complex to develop.
An important factor that influences in this complexity is that information
systems are tending to be distributed with mobile components. Many
technologies have emerged in dealing with distribution issues at an
implementation level. However, few approaches have considered distribution
from the beginning of the life cycle of software development and have dealt
with distribution at a high abstraction level. In this paper, we focus on
specifying distributed and mobile information systems at a high abstraction
level using an approach called PRISMA. PRISMA is an architectural model
which combines the Component-Based Software Development (CBSD) and
Aspect-Oriented Software Development (AOSD) to describe software
architectures. PRISMA has associated an Architectural Description Language
(ADL) that is separated into a Type Definition Language and a Configuration
Language. We use the Type Definition Language to specify the distribution
aspect as a first order citizen of the language. Furthermore, we use the
Configuration Language to configure the location of the instances of the
software architecture."
