Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving, at a control device, information from an application program executing on a computing device, wherein the information comprises data associated with an architecture of the application program; generating, at the control device, a representation of the architecture of the application program based on the information received from the application program, wherein generating a representation of the architecture of the application program comprises generating a text file identifying the functions of the application program that process the message at runtime, and the invocation relationships between the functions that process the message; comparing, at the control device, the representation of the architecture of the application program to representations of predefined reference architectures stored in a memory, wherein comparing comprises comparing the text file to reference text files representing predefined reference architectures; and validating, at the control device, the architecture of the application program based on a result of the comparing, wherein validating the architecture of the application program based on a result of the comparing comprises:
