REACTIVITY
Reactivity refers to the architecture's ability to handle, in a
timely manner, unexpected events. To do this the architecture must
continually, or nearly so, monitor the environment to determine if
any new event has transpired to which it must react. If such an event
did transpire the architecture must then react in the appropiate way
and in a timely fashion. There is a tradeoff between speed and the quality
of the chosen solution. The architecture must be able to make this
tradeoff in a rational manner.
