General Information

Title Evaluation of Competing Architectural Designs

View Revision History
Module Identifier changliu.2005.2
Abstract Developing an optimal architecture for a given problem statement is a pretty challenging task for an undergraduate student. They can usually come up with “a” architecture based on materials taught in class but usually do not develop an appreciation for the various “other” architectural styles that could also work in the given context. The different architectural styles usually provide a tradeoff between the various quality attributes that they address for the system.

This module attempts to address this issue by providing two architectural solutions for a given problem statement (Meeting Scheduler System) for different quality attributes.
