Automated Design of Computer System Architecture

A method, comprising:

• accessing a plurality of target values, each target value associated with a respective design criterion of a computer system to be designed, the computer system associated with one or more domains, each domain associated with a respective function of the computer system;
• determining, based at least in part on a first set of one or more of the plurality of target values, a respective implementation pattern for each of the one or more domains, the one or more determined implementation patterns representing a logical architecture for the computer system;
• and
• determining a physical architecture for the computer system by determining a respective solution stack for each of the one or more determined implementation patterns based at least in part on a second set of one or more of the plurality of target values.

Logic embodied in computer-readable media, the logic operable when executed by a processor to:

• access a plurality of target values, each target value associated with a respective design criterion of a computer system to be designed, the computer system associated with one or more domains, each domain associated with a respective function of the computer system;
• determine, based at least in part on a first set of one or more of the plurality of target values, a respective implementation pattern for each of the one or more domains, the one or more determined implementation patterns representing a logical architecture for the computer system;
• and
• determine a physical architecture for the computer system by determining a respective solution stack for each of the one or more determined implementation patterns based at least in part on a second set of one or more of the plurality of target values.
