Abstract :
The ASPES system for the incremental and interactive definition of office architectures is presented. ASPES assists the architecture designer (1) by maintaining and making accessible a catalogue of available commercial hardware and software components; and (2) by providing a set of operations, accessible through a graphical interface, to incrementally and interactively build a description of an office architecture, which is guaranteed to satisfy the requirements of compatibility and connectability among the constituent components. A functional description of ASPES is given, and its graphical user interface is demonstrated
