These constraints contain all
the significant design decisions and the rationale behind them. Defining an architecture is
an activity of identifying what is architecturally-significant and expressing it in the proper
context and viewpoint.
The system architecture for an IT-based personal financial planning system should fulfil the
following requirements:
??? Maintainability (the architecture should be understandable and alterable)
??? Adaptability (the architecture should be adaptable to specific user requirements)
??? Efficiency (the architecture should deliver a framework that allows a Personal Financial
Planner to solve personal financial planning problems as fast and with the least effort
possible, for example, by automatic data gathering)
??? Standard-oriented (the architecture should be oriented at well-established standards,
for example, service-oriented architectures)
??? Reliability.and.robustness (the architecture should support a reliable and robust ITsystem)
??? Portability (the architecture should support a platform-independent usage of the
personal financial planning system)
