A Foundation for the Economic Analysis of Software Architectures

چکیده
This position paper is an attempt to show how realoptions theory and portfolio theory—can be applied to making software investment decisions in practice. We have previously developed a method, called CBAM, for making software investment decisions based upon architectural analysis, and have applied this method to a large-scale system development—NASA’s ECS project. Building upon this experience, we reflect upon the relationship between the theory of economic models and what can be done in practice.

In this paper, pile behavior embedded in layered soil deposits subjected to seismic loadings is analyzed using a nonlinear fiber element for simulation of soil – pile interactions. In the created model, both pile and surrounding soil are modeled using fiber elements in a practical Beam on Nonlinear Winkler Foundation (BNWF) concept. Herein, the features of DRAIN–3DX finite element software are ...
