Tool Support for Architecture Analysis and Design

چکیده
The needs of software architectural design and analysis have led to a desire to create CASE tools to support the processes. Such a tool should help: to document an architecture; to reuse architectural artifacts; to aid in exploring architectural alternatives; and to support architectural metrics. This position paper first presents a set of requirements that an ideal tool for architectural design and analysis, and then presents a tool—called SAAMtool—that meets most, but not all, of these requirements. SAAMtool embodies both SAAM (Software Architecture Analysis Method) and an architectural description framework which describes architectural elements according to their static and temporal features. The tool serves several purposes. It supports and documents the results of architectural design and analysis efforts at varying degrees of resolution, it acts as a repository of both designs and design rationales in the form of scenarios, it applies metrics to architectures, and it visualizes architectures with respect to architectural metrics.

Without the surrounding environment of a site, architecture loses its full meaning. In the evolutionof the design process, a site's environment should be understood as the integral factor within which a designed productor artifact is expected to perform. The environment is not of secondary priority. Every building is intertwined with itscontext; context being its physical, visual and ecological...

متن کاملDeficiency of the Space Syntax method as an urban design tool in designing traditional urban space and the need for some supplementary methods
Urban design problems have become so complex that no single designer is able to consider all aspects of a design area simultaneously. Lately the application of computerized and scientific methods have helped designers analyze complex problems. One of these new methods is Space Syntax. The purpose of this study is to first investigate the strengths and weaknesses of this method and then suggest ...
