An Ontology of Architectural Design Decisions in Software-Intensive Systems
Philippe B. Kruchten · 2004
Architectural design decisions deserve to be first class entities in the process of developing complex software-intensive systems. Preserving the graphs of decisions and all their interdependencies will support the evolution and maintenance of such systems. In this paper we present a possible ontology of architectural design decisions, their attributes and relationships, for complex, software-intensive systems.
