Abstract: Architecture design is a key process in information systems development. Architecture assessment can improve the efficiency of system development The architecture assessment method based on executable model is an effective method to verify and assess the architecture. The traits of architecture assessment method based on executable model were analyzed, and the content and process of assessment were provided in the paper. The method was discussed in which model executable model is based on Object Petri Net model,and the feasibility of the method was shown by an instance in the paper.

Key words: Architecture, Executable model, View, Petri net
