Abstract：According to the drastically complex characteristics of distributed software and software architecture, a component-based distributed software architectural description language (DSADL) is proposed through extending the traditional Attributed Grammar (AG). Meanwhile, the design goal, composing elements, formal description and implementation of an environment for distributed software architecture description (EDAD) are illustrated in detail. It is demonstrated by practice that DSADL can help the programmers to analyze and design distributed software effectively, so the efficiency of development can be improved greatly.
