摘要:Software architecture design plays the key role for logistics and transport software engineering. One of the design approaches is to reuse the architectural patterns, which express a fundamental structural organization of software systems and its behaviour. The usage of the proven and tested solutions allows us to increase the software quality and reduce potential risks. In this paper the technique that allows selecting and evaluating suite of architectural patterns is proposed. It can be used for logistics and transportation software, which is constructed using Multi-tier architecture. The technique allows us to consistently evaluate the impact of specific patterns to software characteristics with a given functionality. Effectiveness and efficiency of the described method is confirmed by a case study.
