An analysis of the current practice for representing architectural views reveals that they focus mainly on functional concerns and are limited when considering quality concerns. We introduce the recovery style for modeling the structure of the system related to the recovery concern. The recovery style is a specialization of the module viewtype in the Views&Beyond approach. It is used to communicate and analyze architectural design decisions and to support detailed design with respect to recovery. We illustrate the style for modeling the recovery views for the open-source software, MPlayer.
