Axiomatic Architecture Description Language
AADL
<language, architecture, parallel> (AADL) A language allowing
concise modular specification of {multiprocessor}
architectures from the compiler/operating-system interface
level down to chip level. AADL is rich enough to specify
target architectures while providing a concise model for
clocked {microarchitectures}.

Architecture Design", W. Damm et al in Languages for Parallel
Architectures, J.W. deBakker ed, Wiley, 1989].
