A Framework To Non-Functional Modelling And Analysis Of Software Architectures

Software system modelling so that they satisfy all their important functional requirements is difficult. Software architecture can help modelling and analysis through effective compositions of well-defined components and connectors. In this paper, we propose a framework for modelling non-functional properties. Then, we explain how one can evaluate them. To do so, we propose using graph transformation system for modelling both functional and non-functional properties in the form of a proper architectural style. Using styles it is possible to capture functional and non-functional aspects of different systems naturally.
