From Business Model to System Architecture Considering Goals, Aspects and Quality Standards

At present business models have been converted into strategic assets for enterprise organizations. They facilitate information management for decisions making, transactions between parties and optimized services. The goal of this work is to present an Architectural Design Process (DAOMAC) integrating Goals, Aspects and Quality Standards techniques and practices, to obtain an Initial Architecture for the software system from the business model. The main contribution of this work is to consider explicitly non-functional requirements in the different abstraction levels involved in the process to obtain the initial architecture model, and guaranteeing their traceability: tasks originating non-functional goals in the business model where they are not explicitly considered, non-functional crosscutting goals in the goal model, crosscutting concerns treated as softgoals and operationalizations in the SIG (Softgoal Interdependency Graph) model. The main artifact obtained is the initial architecture and its logical view can be appreciated in the DAOMAC application to the case study, an administrative service process of the Citizen Identification and Registration System. Another important contribution is the specification of non-functional requirements by the ISO/IEC 25010 standard to facilitate their traceability and the communication among work groups
