Abstract:
Multi-layer architectures have become one of the most widely used architectures for enterprise application development. Among other reasons, this is due to the proliferation of development frameworks simplifying the implementation of applications based on such architectures. However, the design of these architectures poses a significant challenge to the software architect, mostly due to the large number of design patterns and development frameworks that can be used in the development of these architectures. The present work proposes a set of model transformations to automatically suggest the design patterns and frameworks best suited to satisfy both the functional and nonfunctional requirements of the system. This technique is part of a broader procedure to facilitate the software architect’s task of converting the preliminar design of an application into a specific design tailored to the software architecture.
