Abstract

Retrieving a question regarding requirements of an application from a data object node of an architecture design solution repository with architecture design solutions comprising a plurality of data object trees each with a plurality of data object nodes. Displaying a question regarding the requirements of the application to an application user through an interface and receiving an indication of an answer chosen by the application user. Indicating within the data object node which answer was chosen by the application user and determining which data object node to retrieve a next question from based on answer indicated by the user. Determining which architecture design solution within the architecture design solution repository matches the requirements of the application indicated by the application user and generating an architecture design work product based on matching the data object nodes to architecture design solutions within the architecture design solution repository.
