초록

아키텍처는 시스템의 품질 속성과 요구사항 그리고 비즈니스 목적 달성을 위해 이루어지는 중요한 설계 결정들의 집합으로 현재 소프트웨어 공학 프로세스에서 필수적으로 다루어지는 과정 중 하나이다. 최근 소프트웨어가 사용되는 컨텍스트와 개발 환경이 크게 변화하면서 복잡한 요구사항을 다루고 시스템의 품질 속성을 달성하는 것이 더욱 중요해지고 있다. 하지만 아키텍처 설계가 많은 부분에 있어 아키텍트의 직관에 의존하고 있으며 재사용 가능한 아키텍처 패턴을 설계에 적용할 때 패턴 스키마가 통일되지 않고 사용자 관점에서 표현되어지지 않아 비교 분석에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 본 논문은 아키텍처 패턴을 사용자 관점에서 재해석하여 품질 속성 요구사항과의 간격을 줄여주는 새로운 스키마를 제안한다. 또한 스키마로 재구성한 패턴 모델을 이용해 아키텍처 설계의 가장 중요한 요인인 품질속성이 설계 결정에 어떤 영향을 주는지 트레이드 오프를 고려한 패턴 추천 방법을 제안 한다.

Recently, the accomplishment of a system's quality attributes requires the negotiation of increasingly complex requirements, and this is because the contextual and developmental environments in which software is used has undergone broad changes. Nevertheless, with regard to most architectural designs, many of the proportions depend on the architect's intuition. Moreover, even if reusable architectural patterns are adapted to an architectural design, common schemas for the description of their use are nonexistent, and it is difficult to make a comparison for the selection of an appropriate systemic pattern because the focus of the schemas is not the user's perspective. To achieve a fast initial-design decision, this paper suggests new schemas that reduce the distance between the quality attribute requirements and the design by reinterpreting architectural patterns from the user's perspective. Also, based on the reconstructed pattern model that is derived from the use of the new schemas, an architectural-pattern recommendation method (APOQATo) for which the trade-off and the constraints that are due to the design decision are considered is provided as well as the advantages of the architectural pattern for which the quality attributes are satisfied.
