An approach to software architecture creation is described in the context of agile development. It eschews the traditional separation of top-down and bottom-up design. A concrete, cumulative, least-commitment process is demonstrated that establishes an architecture core likely to remain stable as requirements are added.
Reuse is a powerful tool for improving the productivity of software development. The paper puts forward arguments in favor of generic requirements reuse rooted in the vision that effectiveness requires a focus on coordinated composition of reusable artifacts across the whole software development life cycle. A survey of publications on requirements reuse from the International Requirements Engineering...
Approaches for sharing and reusing architectural knowledge (AK) have found some application in practice. Capturing AK during software design and development, however, is still a problem. Main reasons are the effort involved in capturing, as well as lack of time and budget, and lack of short-term benefits for the involved stakeholders. We propose using context information about currently modified artifacts,...
For Component Based Software Engineering (CBSE), an application is a strongly structured and rigid assembly of components. Conversely, Service Oriented Computing (SOC) is very flexible and is a good candidate for supporting dynamic applications. Unfortunately dynamic applications are software applications and as such they need to be clearly structured and managed (as with CBSE), and they need flexibility...
Context is a significant factor in deciding the set of requirements relevant to a system (i.e., software product construction), the alternatives the system can adopt to satisfy these requirements, and the quality assessment of each alternative. By context we mean the conditions in the operating environment of an system that influences how the system should behave in different situations. However,...
