Architecture Design and Assessment with Design Matrix

摘要

Practices of developing applications based on SOA principles need to be renovated to meet new requirements for large-scale data processing and to adapt advancements in IT infrastructures in cloud computing. Resource planners will have a significant role as they bridge the development and operation phases in application development. To accomplish these tasks, this paper presents architecture design methods, which reinforce designing and assessing architecture with an applied Design Structure Matrix (DSM). This approach can embrace development of both business logics of applications and IT resources to run them in the cloud and the methods are established through consulting practices on a datacenter.
