This study concerns the specification of software architecture. Its presents a symbiosis between the conceptual approach based on UML profiles and the programming approach recommended by ArchJava. Currently, each ADL addresses separately the specification and the validation, thus we notice a decoupling between the two descriptions and a risk of inconsistency. We describe a step based on a UML profiles for the structural description of software architectures and the transformation rules to generate the source code. The current experiments are convincing and we hope ourselves to continue the reflexion on the configurations and the dynamic aspect.
