Abstract

The optimization problem of the procedure for the software system architecture selection is considered taking into account changes of requirements in iterative technologies of design and reengineering. The survey of this problem was made in order to find available formal methods or techniques for architecture decisions operative correction in modern agile approaches. The conclusion is made that there is the significant lack of such methods that allow to assess dynamically final quality of the product during architecture design without repetitive labor consuming expert methods. The solution is offered on the base of software characteristics correction which have been taken into account on previous iteration or modification of existing software system during reengineering. This method prevents recalculations for the evaluation and the selection process. The method of pairwise substitution is applied for alternatives characteristics correction. Its general concept is based on compensation on supremacy of a criterion or an attribute change. Multicriteria optimization of substitution is being carried out using nonlinear scalar convolution what improves validity of selected software architecture decision.
