Methods, systems, and computer readable medium for developing a system architecture that involves defining resource constraints for kinds of resources and constraint values for optimization parameters, and defining a design space as variants, where each variant is a vector. Satisfying sets of variants are determined for optimization parameters by assigning membership values to each variant of a universe of discourse set and performing a fuzzy search of a universe of discourse set using the corresponding membership values. A set of variants is determined based on an intersection of the satisfying sets of variants. An ordered list of variants is generated by sorting the set of variants and a variant is selected based on a position of the variant in the ordered list for use in developing the system architecture.

System and method for development of a system architecture

Described embodiments relate to methods, systems and computer readable medium for developing a system architecture. Resources constraints are defined, where each resource constraint corresponds to a maximum number of a each kind of resources available to construct the system architecture. Constraint values for each of at least three optimization parameters are defined, which includes a final optimization parameter. A design space is defined as a plurality of vectors representing different combinations of a number of each kind of resource available to construct the system architecture. For each of the plurality of optimization parameters, a priority factor function is defined. A plurality of satisfying sets of vectors is determined for each of the optimization parameters except for the final optimization parameter. A set of vectors is determined based on an intersection of the plurality of satisfying sets of vectors for the optimization parameters. A vector is selected from the set of vectors based on the ordered list of vectors and the final optimization parameter, where the selected vector is for use in developing the system architecture.
