Abstract

An appropriate standard of quality is a challenging issue in developing software systems. The need of this study in architecture evaluation is to identify the potential risks, which helps to maintain the standard of quality in software systems. The study shows the early evaluation methods of software architecture which can be used in research .The study of these methods give new intervention from the general aspects of the methods that are used, also it gives a guideline for selecting the appropriate methods of evaluating the architecture performance.

The aim for analyzing the software system helps us to predict the quality of the system before it has been implemented. The quality can be achieved at the architectural level. The metrics communities of software have used different coupling and cohesion notations to predict the software performance. We have tried to show the differences among methods that are already existing evaluation methods for software architectures, which help to classify and choose the methods. This paper concentrates on making a summary and importance of different methods used in evaluation; strengths and the weakness among them have been discussed, in order to view state of art in the evaluation of software architecture.

Abstract

Background: RFID technology is being adopted by a number of applications including supply chain management. Due to the adoption of RFID technology challenging problems have appeared. The RFID database system handles huge amounts of path oriented, time dependent data. Methods: This paper focuses on minimizing the query processing time by using Taguchi optimization method. Simulations show how the factors considered impact RFID data processing efficiency. Findings: So the effectiveness of the system depends on the factors such as the number of tags accessed at a time, the data preprocessing techniques adopted, and selection of suitable indexing techniques and so on. However, few of the techniques adopted by existing methods focus on the efficiency of RFID data processing. Applications/Improvements: Taguchi method is applied to predict the best design combinations that achieve minimum query processing time.
