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. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
