Software engineers make use of several computational architectures (CA) to host an application, such as desktop, web, and cloud computing ar- chitectures. As the requirements vary according to the desired CA, developers may face two problems: determining which requirement better fulfills a CA and determining which CA fulfills a given set of requirements. This paper presents a new approach based on the Cost-Value Approach (CVA). We have slightly modified the CVA method (SCVA method) and also developed a new method for choosing the most appropriate CA (MMACA method). Our results provide a set of requirements ordered by priority for each CA. Finally, we discuss the current and most appropriate CA for a real project solution.
