  • Abstract
    Summary form only given. Software architectures are an emerging discipline in software engineering as they play a central role in many modern software development paradigms. Quantifying software architectures is an important research agenda, as it allows software architects to subjectively assess quality attributes and rationalize architecture-related decisions. In this paper, we discuss the attribute of change propagation probability, which reflects the likelihood that a change that arises in one component of the architecture propagates (i.e. mandates changes) to other components.
