Abstract

This paper presents an initial design of the "Plug-n-Analyze" framework for the tradeoff analysis in determining architecture alternatives that have different strength and weakness on quality attributes. The framework provides: i) architecture alternative negotiation aids among multiple stakeholders, ii) visualization aids for understanding complicated interactions and tradeoff dependencies among quality attributes, and iii) a general environment by integrating independent analysis methods by simply "plugging" and generating architecture options for fully "analyzing".
