A software architecture manifests the major early design
decisions, which determine the system's development, deployment and
evolution. Thus, making better architectural decisions is one of
the large challenges in software engineering. Software architecture
knowledge management is about capturing practical experience and
translating it into generalized architectural knowledge, and using
this knowledge in the communication with stakeholders during all
phases of the software lifecycle.
This book presents a concise description of knowledge management
in the software architecture discipline. It explains the importance
of sound knowledge management practices for improving software
architecture processes and products, and makes clear the role of
knowledge management in software architecture and software
development processes. It presents many approaches that are in use
in software companies today, approaches that have been used in
other domains, and approaches under development in academia. After
an initial introduction by the editors, the contributions are
grouped in three parts on "Architecture Knowledge Management,"
"Strategies and Approaches for Managing Architectural Knowledge,"
and "Tools and Techniques for Managing Architectural
Knowledge."
The presentation aims at information technology and software
engineering professionals, in particular software architects and
software architecture researchers. For the industrial audience, the
book gives a broad and concise understanding of the importance of
knowledge management for improving software architecture process
and building capabilities in designing and evaluating better
architectures for their mission- and business-critical systems. For
researchers, the book will help to understand the applications of
various knowledge management approaches in an industrial setting
and to identify research challenges and opportunities.
