Abstract
The problems of a multi-criteria decision making model of software system architecture dealing
with definition of criterion function and formalization of the trade-off estimation procedure are discussed.
Taking into account the domain requirements and criteria values limitations, the universal scalar convolution
is proposed where the weights of the quality criterion depends on its proximity to the limitation. An
optimization model of "replacement-compensation" was used for solution of reengineering problems and
directed selecting of software architecture.

The component technology based on the usage of components taken from earlier executed projects (reused components) is widely applied for software systems (SWS) design [1]. The design of such an architecture technology starts with the frame selection based on the SWS requirements and filling it with necessary components taken from the repository or Internet.
