While working on a software specification, designers usually need to evaluate different
architectural alternatives to be sure that quality criteria are met. Even when these quality …

During the design of complex systems, software architects have to deal with a tangle of
abstract artefacts, measures and ideas to discover the most fitting underlying architecture. A …

Software architectures constitute important analysis artefacts in software projects, as they
reflect the main functional blocks of the software. They provide high-level analysis artefacts …

A possible approach to partly automated software architecture design is the application of
heuristic search methods like genetic algorithms. However, traditional genetic algorithms …

Software architecture will be designed within the early phases combined with the
development process; the huge constraints makes it possible for the achievement of certain …

The design of software architecture is one of the difficult tasks in the modern component-
based software development which is based on the idea that develop software systems by …

Designing software architectures that exhibit a good trade-off between multiple quality
attributes is hard. Even with a given functional design, many degrees of freedom in the …

Abstract Architecture-based software performance optimisation can help to find potential
performance problems and mitigate their negative effects at an early stage. To automate this …

Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithms are increasingly used to solve optimization problems
in software engineering. The choice of parameters for those algorithms usually follows the" …
