One of the goals of Software design is to model a system in such a way that it is reused. Actively reusing designs or code allows taking advantage of the investment made on reusable components. However development of domain specific…
To facilitate understanding the architecture of a software system, we developed SArF Map technique that visualizes software architecture from feature and layer viewpoints using a city metaphor. SArF Map visualizes implicit software features…
Documentation is an important mechanism for disseminating software architecture knowledge. Software project teams can employ vastly different formats for documenting software architecture, from unstructured narratives to standardized…
Background: The literature offers various methods for capturing software architectural knowledge (AK), including views, viewpoints, and architecture decision records (ADRs). In parallel, sustainability has gained prominence in software…
Software development has steadily embraced agile software development methodology/method (ASDM) and has been moving away from the plan driven software development methodology (PDM) approaches like waterfall. Given the iterative nature of…
Large Language Models (LLMs) are used for many different software engineering tasks. In software architecture, they have been applied to tasks such as classification of design decisions, detection of design patterns, and generation of…
To preserve access to digital content, we must preserve the representation information that captures the intended interpretation of the data. In particular, we must be able to capture performance dependency requirements, i.e. to identify…
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the impact of emerging network-centric software systems on the field of software architecture. We first develop an insight concerning the term "network-centric" by presenting its origin and its…
As modern software systems are increasingly developed for running in distributed environments, it is crucial to provide fundamental techniques such as dependence analysis for checking, diagnosing, and evolving those systems. However,…
Complex software systems must be maintained for years or decades, and the effort and cost to maintain them are often high, involving continuous refactoring to ensure their longevity in the face of changing requirements. In this article, we…
This chapter defines and presents different kinds of software ecosystems. The focus is on the development, tooling and analytics aspects of software ecosystems, i.e., communities of software developers and the interconnected software…
A software architecture is the result of multiple decisions made by a software architect. These decisions are called architectural decisions, as they bring solutions to architectural problems. Relations between decisions can be captured in…
Dependency analysis is a technique to identify and determine data dependencies between service protocols. Protocols evolving concurrently in the service composition need to impose an order in their execution if there exist data…
Computer systems are so complex, so they are usually designed and analyzed in terms of layers of abstraction. Complexity is still a challenge facing logical reasoning tools that are used to find software design flaws and implementation…
The architectural design of software systems is not a trivial task, requiring sometimes large experience and knowledge accumulated for years. Reference architectures have been increasingly adopted as a means to support such task, also…
Self-adaptive software can assess and modify its behavior when the assessment indicates that the program is not performing as intended or when improved functionality or performance is available. Since the mid-1960s, the subject of system…
Context: As the adoption of continuous delivery practices increases in software organizations, different scenarios struggle to make it scales for their products in long-term evolution. This study looks at the concrete software architecture…
With the increased dependence on software, there is a pressing need for engineering long-lived software. As architectures have a profound effect on the life-span of the software and the provisioned quality of service, stable architectures…
Software architecture knowledge transfer is essential for software development, but related documentation is often incomplete or ambiguous, making oral explanations a common means. Our broader aim is to explore how such explanations might…
The nature of software re-engineering is to improve or transform existing software so it can be understood, controlled and reused as new software. Needs, the necessity of re-engineering software has greatly increased. The system software…
