This paper presents an automated software tool SQUARE (Software QUality and ARchitecture modelling Environment). It is designed and implemented to support the analysis of software...
Over the past 15 years there has been increasing recognition that careful attention to the design of a system’s software architecture is critical to satisfying its requirements ...
Runtime quality of software, such as availability and throughput, depends on architectural factors and execution environment characteristics (e.g. CPU speed, network latency). Alth...
Component-based software development approach is based on the idea to develop software systems by selecting appropriate off-the-shelf components and then to assemble them with a w...
This paper addresses issues involved when an architect explore alternative designs including non-functional requirements; in our approach, non-functional requirements are expresse...
