This paper presents a quality-driven approach to embodying non-functional requirements
(NFRs) into software architecture using architectural tactics. Architectural tactics are …

The management and assurance of “systems of systems”(SoSs) are hampered by the
difficulty of gaining confidence that a particular architecture of constituent systems will meet …

This deliverable addresses the description of non-functional properties for Web services. It
provides a survey of solutions to this problem for Web services in particular and Software …

Growing Web Service usage, design and composition methods require precise and reliable
information about Web Services quality. Such quality description has to be compatible with …

In this paper, we present a prototype tool that supports the systematic development of
software architectures driven by quality requirements using architectural tactics. The tool …

The components based approach aims at the re-use by an easy components assembly. Vis-
a-vis to the objects based approach, the component based approach moves the complexity …

This paper presents an approach for embodying nonfunctional requirements (NFRs) into
software architecture using architectural tactics. Architectural tactics are reusable …

Various redundancy tactics can be modeled at the design stage of safety-critical systems
thereby providing a set of fault-tolerance guidelines for subsequent development activities …

Systems engineering uses quality attributes known as “ilities” to validate a target
architecture. Space agencies call for software development methodologies (SDM) to be …

Many architecture description languages (ADLs) were proposed for describing structure of
software systems in terms of components and connectors. However, specification of non …
