Abstract

Development, selection, and evolution of workstation architectures depend mainly on a comprehensive assessment of the architecture and its parts. Proper assessment of an architecture is a key to its success on the market. This paper presents a systematic method for system assessment which supports the user to make decisions explicit, allowing to find out later why which decisions were taken. The assessment process is reproducible and documented by a graphical representation of the most important aspects underlying architecture assessment: system architecture, assessment criteria, and system workload.
