An Exercise in Software Architectural Design: From Requirements to Design Problem Structure.

Abstract

Two of the main activities required for the application of the methodology explored in this project, namely, the assessment of design interdependencies among requirements and the interpretation of subsets of requirements as design subproblems, are investigated in the context of a concrete design problem. Guidelines for carrying out these activities are introduced and their usage illustrated. A design framework for the problem analyzed is identified and discussed; its study points out that the methodology investigated here produces interesting and unforeseen results. (Author)
