APEC Study Centre, University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand     Abstract:   One of the key sets of questions underlying Asia Pacific economic cooperation over the last decade has been over the nature and form of the regional trade architecture that would gradually emerge from the turmoil of the Asia-Pacific “noodle bowl” of bilateral and plurilateral FTAs, and how that architecture...

The software product line approach has been applied as a successful software reuse technique for specific domains. Such an approach takes advantage of domain and application engineering concepts. One of its most important artifacts is the product line architecture because it explicitly represents similarities and variabilities of a product line, as well as the products that can be generated. Pr...

Software architecture evaluation plays an important role in the validation of quality models of software systems. This paper is based on the research carried out where the Architecture Trade-off Analysis Method (ATAM) was used. ATAM was chosen and used because it provides insight into the way quality attributes are mapped onto architecture and also shows the trade-offs existing between the iden...

This paper reports the results of exploratory research to develop a pilot pattern language for systems engineers at BAE SYSTEMS. The pattern language was designed to encapsulate knowledge about possible trade-offs made by systems engineers about architecture designs that satisfied different system requirements for submarine manoeuvring systems. Our intention is that this knowledge can be reused...

Countries differ in the extent to which their financial systems rely on banks or markets. We offer a model featuring complex relationship between countries’ system architecture and comparative advantage. with capital markets that are relatively more efficient than banking gain advantage sectors strong dependence market finance. Moreover, countries specializing depend finance develop systems. To...
