TLDR
The paper presents a method for reengineering software architectures that explicitly addresses the quality attributes of the software architecture and uses the reengineering of a prototypical measurement system into a domain-specific software architecture as an example.Abstract:
The paper presents a method for reengineering software architectures. The method explicitly addresses the quality attributes of the software architecture. Assessment of quality attributes is performed primarily using scenarios. Design transformations are done to improve quality attributes that do not satisfy the requirements. Assessment and design transformation can be performed for several iterations until all requirements are met. To illustrate the method we use the reengineering of a prototypical measurement system into a domain-specific software architecture as an example.read more

Architecture-level modifiability analysis (ALMA)
TL;DR: ALMA is a unified architecture-level analysis method that focuses on modifiability, distinguishes multiple analysis goals, has explicit assumptions and provides repeatable techniques for performing the steps.

A framework for classifying and comparing software architecture evaluation methods
TL;DR: This work presents a set of commonly known but informally described features of an evaluation method and organizes them within a framework that should offer guidance on the choice of the most appropriate method for an evaluation exercise.

Design erosion: problems and causes
Jilles van Gurp,Jan Bosch +1 more
TL;DR: This paper illustrates how design erosion works by presenting the evolution of the design of a small software system and shows how design decisions accumulate and become invalid because of new requirements.

A comparative study of architecture knowledge management tools
TL;DR: Five architectural knowledge management tools and the support they provide in the architecture life-cycle are compared and their advantages, deficiencies, and conformance to the current architectural description standard are compared.
