Rapidly changing technology is one of the key triggers of system evolution. Some examples are: physically relocating a data center; replacement of infrastructure such as migrating ...
This paper presents an approach for embodying nonfunctional requirements (NFRs) into software architecture using architectural tactics. Architectural tactics are reusable architec...
Software architecture evaluation has a crucial role in the life cycle of software intensive systems. In this paper we propose an approach to empower a software architecture evalua...
Few existing approaches towards architectural evolution deal with unanticipated evolution. This is an important restriction, since a lot of architectural changes are very di cult ...
