The architecture of a software-intensive system can be defined as the set of relevant design
decisions that affect the qualities of the overall system functionality; therefore, architectural …

In this paper we define the notion of a privacy design strategy. These strategies help IT
architects to support privacy by design early in the software development life cycle, during …

CONTEXT: Knowledge management technologies have been employed across software
engineering activities for more than two decades. Knowledge-based approaches can be …

The aim of this chapter is to identify the role of enterprise architecture, and more specifically,
the role of architecture principles. It starts with an exploration of the concept of enterprise …

Software architectures have high costs for change, are complex, and erode during evolution.
We believe these problems are partially due to knowledge vaporization. Currently, almost all …

Security vulnerabilities and defects are results of poorly constructed software that can lead to
easy exploitation by the cyber criminals. A large number of Cloud software systems are …

Architectural knowledge consists of architecture design as well as the design decisions,
assumptions, context, and other factors that together determine why a particular solution is …

Context: With an increase in Agile, Lean, and DevOps software methodologies over the last
years (collectively referred to as Continuous Software Development (CSD)), we have …

A software architecture manifests the major early design decisions. These early decisions
determine the system's development, deployment and evolution. Thus, making better …

Traditionally, software architecture is seen as the result of the software architecture design
process, the solution, usually represented by a set of components and connectors. Recently …
