Abstract

In this chapter, we present the SysADL constructs for expressing requirements and decisions related to software architectures. We explain the concepts of requirements (the needs from stakeholders) on one hand, and decisions (the choices of the architect on how requirements will be satisfied by the architecture) on the other. We present, in detail, each of the requirement constructs and illustrate their use by applying them to our running example.
