以决策为中心的软件体系结构设计方法

提出针对体系结构层次设计的决策抽象和问题分解原则,以及基于该原则的一种以决策为中心的体系结构设计方法.该方法从决策的视角对体系结构进行建模,并通过一个从导出体系结构关键问题到对体系结构方案决策的过程完成设计,还在其中实现了候选体系结构方案的自动合成以及设计决策与理由的捕捉.这种以决策为中心的方法切合体系结构层次的特点,降低了体系结构设计的复杂性和设计决策与理由捕捉的代价.

Decision-Centric Software Architecture Design Method

This paper proposes the decision-abstraction and issue-decomposition principles specific to the architectural level design, as well as a decision-centric architecture design method based on the principles. The method models software architectures from the perspective of decisions, accomplishing the design process from eliciting the architecturally significant issues to making decisions on the architecture solutions, it also implements the automated synthesis of the candidate architecture solutions and the capture of the design decisions and rationale. This decision-centric method accommodates the characteristics of architectural level, alleviating the complexity of architecture design and the cost of decisions and rationale capture.
