Abstract

The difficulty in evolving service-oriented architectures with extra-functional requirements seriously hinders the spread of this paradigm in critical application domains. This work tries to offset this disadvantage by introducing a design-time quality impact prediction and trade-off analysis method, which allows software engineers to predict the extra-functional consequences of alternative design decisions and select the optimal architecture without costly prototyping.
