Abstract

Modern applications impose an increasing demand for flexible and distributed solutions. This, and the challenge of Open Systems, assigns more and more importance to the architectural decisions during systems design. However, the capabilities of conventional types of distributed systems seem to be restricted to the lower levels of interprocess cooperation. So, the integration of collaborative software systems calls for intelligent distributed architectures. This paper presents the experimental advisory system STRICT (Selecting The RIght architeCTure). STRICT serves as an investigation and development environment and provides smart facilities to experiment with (DAI-related) architectural knowledge.
