QUALITY ANALYSIS OF A CROSS-DOMAIN REFERENCE ARCHITECTURE

Abstract

The content of this paper addresses the issue of how to perform in a systematic way quality analysis of a cross domain reference architecture using scenarios. The cross domain reference architecture is designed based on the domains requirements and features modelling and it includes domains core services and constraints on how these services should be combined. We apply a method based on scenarios to analyse modifiability at the architectural level. In order to handle complexity in analysis we propose categories of change scenarios to be derived from each problem domain. Our main concerns are core services changes in the scenarios interaction step.
