Abstract :
This paper presents a practical approach to architecture-based design of computer based systems. The approach is discussed in relation to other existing methods of performing discovery, abstraction, refinement and evolution of systems´ architectures. It has also been shown that this approach can be supported by formal methods of refinement. The approach assists the designer in maintaining a strict focus of reasoning about the architecture and its qualities.
