Manuel Brandozzi · 2001
In the present thesis we propose a new method to design a high level architecture of a software system that guarantees the satisfaction of its requirements. We give an overview of the concepts of goal oriented requirements specifications and of architectural prescriptions; we summarize the characteristics of KAOS, the goal oriented requirements specification language that is used by our process, and we introduce Preskriptor, our Prescription Specification Language (APL); we illustrate our methodology for transforming requirements to an architectural prescription and provide practical examples; finally, we discuss related work and indicate further directions of our research.
