Abstract: Object oriented methodology is becoming popular in the development of present day software. It is necessary to analyse architecture at the early stages of the development life cycle in order to avoid pitfalls in the quality of finished product. In the present work, a unitary system methodology for structural (architecture) modelling and analysis of Object-Oriented Systems (OOSs) is presented that describes the characteristics of performance, quality and reliability. The current work is an attempt to formulate computationally simple and analytical method to develop the structural design and analysis of OOS.

Keywords: graph theory; matrix approach; OOS performance; OOS quality; OOS reliability; object-oriented systems; system structure; VPF; variable permanent function; structural modelling; structural analysis.
