“…addition of new components or only selecting a subset of a SRA), which requires a mechanism that can be used to analyze quality and completeness of the instantiated architectures. Although there have been attempts to provide a systematic approaches for reference architecture design, documentation and evaluation [2,3,7], to the best of our knowledge, there has been a little work done on providing a process framework for SRA design given the specific needs of SRA design and evaluation of the TSPACE. Our work reported in this paper aims to address the following research objectives:…”
