Intro

  • How can we design an architecture that will achieve the desired quality attributes ?
  • Sources of architecture
    • Theft: From previous systems, literature
    • Method: Systematic and conscious, derived from requirements via transformations and heuristics.
    • Intuition: Ability to conceive without conscious reasoning. Increased reliance on intuition increases the risk.
  • Ratio of usage of above three methods varies according to architects experience and novelty.
  • What is a tactic ? - A tactic is a design decision that influences the control of a quality attribute response.
  • A collection of tactics is an architectural strategy.
