This paper presents an assessment case study on the evolutionary capability of a large software system using a knowledge-based approach. The knowledge-based assessment is based on...
In this paper, we present an approach to improve the software architecture evaluation process by systematically extracting and appropriately documenting architecturally significan...
Software architecture descriptions can play a wide variety of roles in the software lifecycle, from requirements specification, to logical design, to implementation architectures....
Distributed applications that lack a central, trustworthy authority for control and validation are properly termed decentralized. Multiple, independent agencies, or "partners...

Today's wireless networks and devices support the dynamic composition of mobile distributed systems, according to device connectivity. This has in particular led to the
We present the work of establishing an integrated environment that facilitates architecture design, reconstruction, and maintenance in the entire life cycle of a software product ...
A software reconfiguration pattern is a solution to a problem in component-based software systems where the configuration needs to be updated while the system is operational. It d...
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 existi...
