【 摘 要 】

Deployment requirements describe the precise, desired configuration of a software system. They relate the system’s non functional requirements to its architecture, providing a basis for making decisions about design trade-offs in terms of the resulting system's non functional properties. The purpose of this position paper is to propose a research direction towards developing an approach for reasoning about deployment decisions. Its main objective is to quantitatively evaluate and select between different potential architecturesolutions in order to shorten customer time-to-value and increase satisfaction. In this paper we analyze the relationship between deployment requirements and non-functional properties, and discuss work in progress of developing a deployment-based methodology for evaluating software architecture.
