An apparatus for supporting development of information processing systems where a plurality of computers are incorporated. A project data entry unit provides functions for entering various information descriptive of project specifications including information on a plurality of applications and data resources to be integrated into the target information processing system. An application property analyzing unit analyzes properties of each application, thus creating an application property table. Likewise, a data property analyzing unit analyzes properties of each data resource, thus creating a data property table. Consulting those two tables, a system pattern searching unit produces some search parameters. A system pattern database is prepared beforehand for storing a variety of system patterns associated with different search parameters. The system pattern searching unit searches this system pattern database for system patterns that correspond to the search parameters produced above, thus extracting a plurality of system patterns. A system pattern combination unit then combines the system patterns extracted by the system pattern searching unit to propose an optimum system configuration. |
