Abstract

This paper presents a system theoretical approach which should ease systems architecting. This approach makes architectural design decisions explicit, and by using simulation the interrelations between different architectural design decisions can be determined. In that way an early feedback which reduces the risk of not meeting the requirements can be realized. Additionally, reuse and exchange of architectures is supported. A tool environment is presented which allows for the partial application of this approach
