Abstract
Making the right architectural choices is crucial for successful development of a multi-agent system. Architectural evaluation allows examining a software architecture to determine whether it satisfies the important stakeholder requirements. Early evaluation of the software architecture enables adaptation of the architecture before the costs of correcting it become too high. The evaluation of a software architecture should involve an evaluation team and the stakeholders who have an interest in the architecture and the system that will be built from it.
