Abstract
Maintaining the conformance of an implementation to its
architecture is difficult in practice since developers often
make changes that degrade the architectural structure.
We present tools for statically checking the structural
conformance of a system to its runtime architecture.

1. Introduction
Ensuring conformance of the code architecture or module
view has received much attention [5]. The code architecture
is useful for analyzing quality attributes such as modifia-
bility. Architecture-based analyses for performance, security
