MASTER THESIS DEFENCE
SPEAKER: Xin Shen
TITLE: An Architecture Tradeoff Analysis of PostgreSQL
SystemDATE: Wednesday, March 27, 2002
TIME: 16:00
PLACE: H 601
ABSTRACT
The Architecture Tradeoff Analysis Method(ATAM) was develped by R.Kazman, M.Klein
and P.Clements to evaluate early architectural decisions of software\ development
in terms of quality attributes to avoid expensive architectural mistakes.PostgreSQL developed in the University of California was a pioneer of many modern
RDBMS systems. It is now an open source project.We applied ATAM to the postgreSQL project in light of identifying the
architectural features and possible pitfalls in the architecture of similar DBMS
systems. The result shows that we identifed some sensitive points, tradeoff
points and risks of postgreSQL although we did have some difficulties when
extracting precise quality attributes. This work proves the effectiveness of
ATAM method and explores the possible way to use ATAM on general purpose software.
