Reverse engineering methods produce different descriptions of software architectures. In this work we analyze and define the task of exploring and comparing these descriptions. ...
The selection of software architecture style is an important decision of design stage, and has a significant impact on various system quality attributes. To determine software arc...
—Architecture-based software reliability analysis methods shall help software architects to identify critical software components and to quantify their influence on the system r...
