Automated system and method for designing a model-based architecture of the information system

摘要

An automated system and method is provided for system architects to design model based architectures of information systems. From an initial model of a proposed system architecture, performance metrics are modeled and compared against a set of user-defined business requirements. For unacceptable metrics, modifications to the system architecture are determined and proposed to the system architect. If accepted, the model of the system architecture is automatically modified and modeled again. Once the modeled performance metrics satisfy the business requirements, a detailed description of the system architecture derived from the model may be output for further development stages.
