Abstract

We defend that one important but largely unexploited application of models is to allow engineers to reason at a higher level of abstraction than that provided by programming languages and implementation technologies. In particular, we show how Jackson@?s problem diagrams, annotated with architectural tactics, provide a vocabulary for reasoning informally about the satisfaction of quality requirements. We illustrate our hypothesis with a case study extracted from a real system.
