The Architecture Planning Group (APG) was chartered by IEEE's Software Engineering Standards Committee to set a direction for incorporating architectural thinking into IEEE standards. We present a framework for architectural thinking and use it to review existing architectural practices; we summarize the work of the APG and its recommendations and provide the rationale for those recommendations.
