«Architectural Choices for Dependable Systems» (original) (raw)

This paper presents an architectural design framework aimed at enhancing the dependability of systems operating in wireless environments, particularly focusing on mobile ad hoc networks. By classifying requirements into functional and nonfunctional categories, the framework emphasizes the role of quality properties derived from nonfunctional requirements in the selection of architectural patterns. A structured approach based on a requirements classification model and pattern-based architectural design is proposed, integrating quality characteristics to guide the development of dependable systems.
