proper decisions play a crucial role in any software architecture design process. an important decision of design stage is the selection of a suitable software architecture style. lack of investigation on the quantitative impact of architecture styles on software quality attributes is the main problem in using such styles. consequently, the use of architecture styles in designing is based on th...

quantitative and model-based prediction of security in the architecture design stage facilitates early detection of design faults hence reducing modification costs in subsequent stages of software life cycle. however, an important question arises with respect to the accuracy of input parameters. in practice, security parameters can rarely be estimated accurately due to the lack of sufficient kn...
