Abstract
This paper presents an approach to evaluate software architecture. Our approach is divided into three main areas of activities : the work involved in preparation, execution, and completion of the evaluation. Through performing these activities, architectural evaluation can be systematically performed centering around architectural design decisions that have profound impacts on the achievement of quality attributes.
