Software architecture evaluation has been proposed as a means to achieve quality attributes such as maintainability and reliability in a system. The objective of the evaluation is...
Software engineering community has proposed several methods to evaluate software architectures with respect to desired quality attributes such as maintainability, performance, and...
This paper presents the Architecture Tradeoff Analysis Method (ATAM), a structured technique for understanding the tradeoffs inherent in design. This method was developed to provi...

Software architectures, like complex designs in any field, embody tradeoffs made by the designers. However, these tradeoffs are not always made explicitly by the designers and the...

This paper presents an initial design of the "Plug-nAnalyze" framework for the tradeoff analysisin determining architecture alternatives that have different strength and...
Model transformations are an essential part of Model Driven Engineering and are in many ways similar to traditional software artifacts. Therefore it is necessary to define and eva...

The paper aims at presenting a method of controlling software quality attributes driven by the set of requirements. This is done in three steps: specifying all the requirements, ma...
Future large-scale software development projects will require engineering support for a diverse range of software quality attributes, such as privacy and openness. It is not feasi...

We argue that it is useful to study classes of Multi-Agent System (MAS) architectures, corresponding to architectural styles in addition to particular tures. In this work we focus ...
