Abstract
One aspect of the invention is a method for the electronic design of collaborative and validated architectures. The method for the electronic design of an architecture includes storing architecture elements created by users in a centralized database. The creation of an architecture model is initiated in response to a request of a user of a client system. The centralized database is accessed to retrieve the architecture elements and a selection of an architecture element for inclusion in the architecture model is received from the user. The architecture model including the selected architecture element is included in the centralized database.
Claims36
A method for electronic design of an architecture, comprising:
- storing a plurality of architecture elements created by a plurality of users in a centralized database;
- initiating creation of a first architecture model in response to a request of a first user of a first client system;
- accessing, by at least one computer, the centralized database to retrieve the plurality of architecture elements and a plurality of architecture stacks that include a physical stack having a hardware element and a software element, and a process stack that includes a grouping of processes;
- receiving, by the at least one computer, a selection from the first user of at least one architecture element and at least one of the architecture stacks for inclusion in the first architecture model;
- and
- storing, by the at least one computer, the first architecture model comprising the at least one selected architecture element and the at least one architecture stack in the centralized database.
A system for electronic design of collaborative and validated architectures, comprising:
- a centralized database storing a plurality of architecture elements created by a plurality of users;
- a network to couple the centralized database to a plurality of client systems;
- and
- an architecture creator system including a computer and coupled to the network and operable to access the centralized database via the network, the architecture creator system to:
- initiate creation of a first architecture model in response to a request of a first user of a first client system;
- access the centralized database to retrieve the plurality of architecture elements and a plurality of architecture stacks that include a physical stack having a hardware element and a software element, and a process stack that includes a grouping of processes;
- receive a selection from the first user of at least one architecture element and at least one of the architectural stacks for inclusion in the first architecture model;
- and
- store the first architecture model comprising the at least one selected architecture element and the at least one architectural stack in the centralized database.
