Early identification of Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs) is important as this has direct bearing on the design and architecture of the system. NFRs form the basis for architects to create the technical architecture of the system which acts as the ...

In our experience at NASA, system engineers generally follow the Twin Peaks approach when developing safety-critical systems. However, iterations between the peaks require considerable manual, and in some cases duplicate, effort. A significant part of ...

The disciplines of requirements engineering (RE) and software architecture (SA) are fundamental to the success of software projects. The synergistic relationship between these two disciplines has long been acknowledged by both academicians and ...

System requirements and system architecture/design co-evolve as the understanding of both the problem at hand as well as the solution to be deployed evolve---the Twin Peaks concept. Modeling of requirements and solution is a promising approach for ...

Architecture Model Integration is a process of defining correspondences between high-level architecture elements and other software elements from artifacts developed during various phases of product life cycle. A primary purpose of this process of ...
