Abstract:
Due to the increase in size and complexity of software systems, choosing suitable software architecture is a fundamental issue. One of the most effective ways for designing and valuating software architectures is to adopt architectural styles. An architectural style is an approach for reaping the benefits of similarities that exist between various architectures. Adoption of architectural styles in the design process of a software system assures the employment of strength points of specifications that belong to each architectural style. However, selecting a suitable architectural style depends on different criteria. Therefore it makes the problem of selecting architectural styles to be considered as a multi-criteria problem. We use AHP to solve this problem. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a general problem-solving method that is useful in making complex decisions (e.g., multi-criteria decisions) based on variables that do not have exact numerical consequences
