Software architectures constitute one of the main artefacts of software-intensive system
development. They outline the essential components and interconnections of a software …

With special focus on software architectural issues, we report from the first two major phases
of a software development project. Our experience suggests that explicit focus on software …

Many software projects suffer from problems related to non-existent, incomplete, inaccurate,
or invalid architecture descriptions. The hypothesis underlying our approach is that …

The Architecting session examined the development of software architectures. Seven
papers were presented, covering both the state of the practice and new architecting …

This paper presents the design, implementation and the overall lifecycle of a software
system that includes mobile and web components and that evolved having the following …

As new market opportunities, technologies, platforms, and frameworks become available,
systems require large-scale and systematic architectural restructuring to accommodate …

The definition and understanding of software architectures and architecture views still shows
considerable disagreement in the software engineering community. The paper argues that …

Software architecture has been proven as a conceptual tool to manage the development
and evolution of a software product. However, integrating architecting as an activity in …

Nowadays different notations for architectural modeling have been proposed, each one
focussing on a specific application domain, analysis type, or modeling environment. No …

In contrast to software architecture models, architectural decisions are often not explicitly
documented, and therefore eventually lost. This contributes to major problems such as high …
