Principles for Designing Software Architecture to Achieve Quality Attribute Requirements

L. Bass
2006 Fourth International Conference on Software Engineering Research, Management and Applications (SERA'06)  
I will describe the principles involved in the design of software architecture. The premise is that the design of software architecture is determined by the quality attributes requirements for a system. The quality attributes that we have focused on are: availability, modifiability, performance, security, and usability. I will discuss why quality attributes are important, how to specify quality attribute requirements in a common form, design primitives to support the achievement of each quality
