The architecture of a software-intensive system can be defined as the set of relevant design
decisions that affect the qualities of the overall system functionality; therefore, architectural …

Context: Evaluating software architectures in uncertain environments raises new challenges,
which require continuous approaches. We define continuous evaluation as multiple …

Many claims have been made about the consequences of not documenting design
rationale. The general perception is that designers and architects usually do not fully …

A software architecture manifests the major early design decisions. These early decisions
determine the system's development, deployment and evolution. Thus, making better …

This book is the first ever to focus on the emerging field of self-aware computing from an
engineering perspective. It first comprehensively introduces fundamentals for self …

Context The rapid prevalence and potential impact of big data analytics platforms have
sparked an interest amongst different practitioners and academia. Manufacturing …

Software architecture evaluation involves evaluating different architecture design
alternatives against multiple quality-attributes. These attributes typically have intrinsic …

Various architectures can be applied in software design. The aim of this research is to
examine a typical implementation of Jakarta EE monolithic and microservice software …

A system's early architectural decisions impact its properties (eg, scalability, dependability)
as well as stakeholder concerns (eg, cost, time to delivery). Choices made early on are both …

When faced with the task of designing and implementing a new self-aware and self-
expressive computing system, researchers and practitioners need a set of guidelines on …
