Abstract

In this work we carried out a review of models for evaluating the performance of distributed software system architecture (DSSA) and Information System (IS) success evaluation models with a view to establishing the utilization of organizational variables in the evaluation of DSSA performance. The findings from the review show that the existing DSSA performance evaluation models are machine-centric and existing IS success measurement models do not map organizational variables with DSSA components. In view of these, we developed a user-centric model for DSSA performance evaluation using organizational variables. Our model utilizes neuro-fuzzy logic in matching organizational/user variables with DSSA evaluation factors.
