abstract |
Decisions related to system architecture are difficult, because of fuzziness and lack
of information combined with often conflicting objectives. We organised an industrial
workshop with the objective to choose 5 out of 800 architectures. The first step,
the identification of selection criteria, proved to be the greatest challenge. As
a result, designers selected system architectures that did not satisfy them without
being able to explain what went wrong in their selection process. The objective of
this study is to investigate the impact of criteria in system architecture selection.
The recordings of the workshop were transcribed and analysed in order to identify
the difficulties related to the definition and the use of criteria. The analysis highlights
two issues: the interdisciplinarity of system architecture makes criteria interdependent
and the lack of information is making it impossible to define an exhaustive set of
criteria. This questions the applicability of most of design selection methods that
assume that criteria are well defined by designers. Finally, this study provides insights
and recommendations for future selection support tools dedicated to system architecture
design. |
