To maintain and understand large applications, it is important to know their architecture. The
first problem is that unlike classes and packages, architecture is not explicitly represented in …

Software architectures capture the most significant properties and design constraints of
software systems. Thus, modifications to a system that violate its architectural principles can …

Software architectures are often constructed through a series of design decisions. In
particular, architectural tactics are selected to satisfy specific quality concerns such as …

Microservice architectures are increasingly being used to develop application systems.
Despite many guidelines and best practices being published, architecting microservice …

Authentic descriptions of a software architecture are required as a reliable foundation for any
but trivial changes to a system. Far too often, architecture descriptions of existing systems …

Architectural design is a crucial first step in developing complex software intensive systems.
Early design decisions establish the structures necessary for achieving broad systemic …

Microservice-based software architecture design has been widely discussed, and best
practices have been published as architecture design patterns. However, conformance to …

Software variants emerge from ad-hoc copying in-the-large with adaptations to a specific
context. As the number of variants increases, maintaining such software variants becomes …

Software architectural evaluation becomes a familiar practice in software engineering
community for developing quality software. Architectural evaluation reduces software …

Recognition difficulty is statistically linked to 11 subject covariate factors such as age and
gender for three face recognition algorithms: principle components analysis, an …
