Abstract:
In this paper a specific evaluation for the PSS during the early design phase is presented, taking into
account:
the scenarios that supports the definition of the architecture of the whole system and the interactions
between the user and the system
the performance of the considered system assess with specific PSS criteria (economical and
environmental)
Our proposition consists in the evaluation of the design loops that are constructed jointly with the scenarios
describing activities and with the PSS architecture. This evaluation phase is part of a methodology that is
being developed to design global and optimized PSS.
