“…The simulation can then be used to evaluate quality requirements such as performance and correctness of the architecture. Examples of methods in this group are SAM [28], RARE/ARCADE [4]. Our work can be characterized by the following attributes, which set it apart from other work on architectural analysis.…”

Abstract.One of the main issue of software systems engineering is determining the overall system quality attributes at an early stage. This has several advantages such as early detection of problems, cost benefits and assuring that the chosen architecture will meet both functional and non-functional quality attributes. One emerging approach for dealing with such early analysis is to evaluate the system quality attributes at the architectural level. However, there is a notable lack of support for representing and reasoning about non functional attributes in existing Architectural Description Languages(ADLs). In this paper, we propose Acme+ as an extension of Acme ADL and discuss its abilities to represent and evaluate non functional attributes such as response time, throughput, failure probability, etc. We also describe a tool that reads a text file containing an architecture described in ACME+ and outputs the quality attributes of all the system and detects the component or the connector bottleneck.

“…Ideally, NFRs should be considered in every phase of the software development. Several studies, such as [11,89,14,148] among others, suggest that considering NFR from the early phases of the software process helps to develop applications with context. Moreover, failing to acknowledge NFR may lead to project failure [148].…”

“…As some researchers have pointed out [2], [3], [5], effective refinement must be technology-and domain-specific. Also, Garlan [11] points out that refinement patterns must be explicit about what kinds of properties they are preserving in the refined design.…”

“…The overall software architecture and NFRs are closely related and should be studied together during architectural development. In the literature, much of the research focuses on how to satisfy NFRs such as reliability and performance [1], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], instead of security. There has been some work on security architecture modelling [8], [9], but not on providing security architecture design guidance for architects.…”

Abstract-The successful design and implementation of secure systems must occur from the beginning. A component that must process data at multiple security levels is very critical and must go through additional evaluation to ensure the processing is secure. It is common practice to isolate and separate the processing of data at different levels into different components. In this paper we present architecture-based refinement techniques for the design of multi-level secure systems. We discuss what security requirements must be satisfied through the refinement process, including when separation works and when it does not. The process oriented approach will lead to verified engineering techniques for secure systems, which should greatly reduce the cost of certification of those systems.
