Architecture Analysis Method Study Based on EID

Abstract:

Extended Influence Diagram (EID) is a graph model for modeling and solving decision problems under uncertainty, extended from the Influence Diagram. Architecture analysis is one of the main contents of architecture lifecycle. This paper introduces the modeling elements and architecture analysis process of EID, specifics probability elicitation procedure of directly controllable node according to DM2, discusses architecture maintainability by EID, finally summarizes this method's advantages and disadvantages.
