SYSE 802 John D. McGregor Module 3, Session 3 Assignment

Session Objective Consider architectures in a domain and begin to understand the system architecture for your project.

The main architecture for the product is often started by choosing a main architectural pattern that fits the problem. Identify a set of quality attributes that are addressed by the non-functional requirements from the previous module. Identify three candidate architectures from the literature that seem to apply to your project.

Collect basic information about each. Capture in Guidance pages of your EPF model. Select one of the architectures to study in-depth. Just pick one of them. (In practice we would study each using the quality attributes but there is not time in a semester.) Apply its structure to your product. Create an AADL model that represents the chosen architecture. Use the AADL properties definition syntax to represent the quality attributes that would satisfy the non-functional requirements.

Submit the information on the list of candidate architectures, the in-depth view of the one architecture and the AADL model.
