Claim One:
1. A system, comprising: a memory operable to store a plurality of target values, each target value associated with a respective design criterion of a computer system to be designed, the computer system associated with one or more domains, each domain associated with a respective function of the computer system; and a processor operable to: determine, based at least in part on a first set of one or more of the plurality of target values, a respective implementation pattern for each of the one or more domains, the one or more determined implementation patterns representing a logical architecture for the computer system; determine a physical architecture for the computer system by determining a respective solution stack for each of the one or more determined implementation patterns based at least in part on a second set of one or more of the plurality of target values; map a first set of implementation patterns to a first domain; map a second set of implementation patterns to a second domain; for the first domain, determine a particular implementation pattern from the first set of implementation patterns; and for the second domain, determine a particular implementation pattern from the second set of implementation patterns.
