Problem
The Software Architecture Analysis Method (SAAM) is a structured
method for understanding the high-level organization of a
software system and determining the impact of requirements
changes on that structure. SAAM was developed by Dr. Abowd and
colleagues at the Software
Engineering Institute and it continues to be a focus for
the DARPA-sponsored MORALE project at
Georgia Tech. In this project, you are asked to learn about
SAAM and to perform a SAAM evaluation on a particular evolving
system within the Future Computing
Environments Group. Specifically, you are asked to
perform a SAAM evaluation of the ZenPad system used in Classroom
2000 as it is being evolved to meet more and different needs.
