Tutorial T3 (afternoon): Design of Software Architectures

Presenter: Jan Bosch (University of Groningen)

Abstract

One can identify an increasing identification of the importance of explicit design of software architectures. The tutorial presents a method for architectural design explicitly focussing on assessment of and transformation for quality attributes. Assessment of software architectures using scenario-, simulation-, metrics- and experience-based assessment approaches is discussed. Transformation of software architectures is using architectural styles, architectural patterns, design patterns and by converting quality requirements to functionality. The design method is extensively illustrated by examples and experiences from numerous industrial cases.
