Evaluating C~4ISR architecture products based on ATAM
Zhang Jia-xiang, Fang Ling-jiang · Systems engineering and electronics · 2004
Architecture describes the components of a complex system and their relations. It is very important to evaluate the architecture. The Software Engineering Institute brings forward a method named ATAM. ATAM is an analytical method about architecture quality attributes, focuing on the quality attributes. The C~4ISR architecture products are evaluated based on the scenario of operational environment and logistics environment by using ATAM. The sensitivity points are obtained by analyzing some attributes such as performance, modifiability, dependability and security. Then the tradeoff points of C~4ISR architecture products are got through synthetic analysis of sensitivity points.
