| Dates | October 1999 - November 2002 |
| Problem | Evaluating the quality attributes of software architectures has become a major research focus. We recognize that advances in quantitative measurements are crucial to the vitality of the discipline of software IV&V. We focus in this project on defining and investigating metrics for domain architectures. We envision that metrics, which are based on information theory, will significantly capture the essence of the architectural level quality attributes. |
| Objective | The objective of this work is to define a set of entropy-based quantitative metrics to measure error propagation, change propagation, and ultimately requirements propagation, so as to reflect on relevant qualities of domain architectures. We wish to analytically and empirically validate these metrics. |
