Second Workshop on SHAring and Reusing architectural Knowledge Architecture, Rationale, and Design Intent - Cover

The following topics are dealt with: notations and languages to model or visualize architectural knowledge ontologies, domain models and meta-models for architectural knowledge tools to extract, visualize, share or use architectural knowledge evolution of architectural knowledge technical, social, and management factors in communicating architectural knowledge; architectural knowledge as decision support for both new and evolving designs traceability between requirements, architectural design decisions and architectural solutions (e.g. patterns, tactics, reference architectures) reconstructing architectural knowledge and rationale from legacy systems using architectural knowledge to coordinate system architecture in a global context empirical studies of the use and reuse of architectural knowledge and design rationale impact of intent and rationale for design evaluation, change analysis, component reuse, and project communication using intent and rationale to manage evolution documenting dependencies between design decisions and projecting impact of change design and design intent recovery and reverse engineering decision support and capture tools design of empirical studies for measuring the impact of intent and rationale in design and maintenance activities.
