This book provides a collection of cutting-edge research roadmaps
that attempt to determine and perhaps even shape the future of
software architecture research. It contains a distillation of the
outputs from several ICSA 2022 working sessions and the subsequent
work from the authors.Software architecture research involves the
study of the design and analysis of software systems, focusing on
the high-level structure and organization of software components,
as well as the interactions and relationships between them. It also
focuses on the non-technical aspects of software design: how teams
are organized, and how they communicate and work together. The
first three chapters of the book investigate software architecture
for emerging classes of software systems with widespread interest,
including quantum computing, artificial intelligence-centric
systems, and systems within value-based ecosystems. Subsequent
chapters investigate the role of architecture in relation to modern
development processes; sharing of data as an enabler for furthering
research in software architecture; and teaching software
architecture. In summary, this book provides an overview of the
latest research and directions in software architecture, covering a
wide array of current and emerging topics. Specifically,
this book is a valuable resource for researchers and students to
aid them in identifying fruitful paths for future research.

In the short space of about a decade, Commercial-Off-the-Shelf
(COTS) software has evolved through being a relatively minor aspect
of software development; a t-
management-endorsedsilverbulletsolutionforsoftwaredevelopment;adisruptivete-
nology requiring people and organizations to extensively rethink
their approaches to software development; to an increasingly
well-understood software phenomenon for which effective solutions
are being developed. Part of this understanding has been to
recognize that different COTS application sectors can be at
different stages of this evolution. Some sectors are just beginning
to become COTS-intensive. Some have evolved COTS solutions that are
very well matched to their problem domain. Others, including most
large-scale applications, still involve their developers in
rethinking how to adapt their traditional software architectures,
processes, management practices, and personnel skills to
accommodate economically attractive but complex combinations of
powerful but incompletely compatible and independently evolving
COTS products. The series of International Conferences on
COTS-Based Software Systems (ICCBSS) has been established as a
continuing forum for bringing together CBSS developers, s- pliers,
and researchers to summarize and discuss progress toward
understanding and resolving CBSS problems. This year s conference

"Economics-driven Software Architecture" presents a guide for
engineers and architects who need to understand the economic impact
of architecture design decisions: the long term and strategic
viability, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability of applications
and systems. Economics-driven software development can increase
quality, productivity, and profitability, but comprehensive
knowledge is needed to understand the architectural challenges
involved in dealing with the development of large, architecturally
challenging systems in an economic way.
This book covers how to apply economic considerations during the
software architecting activities of a project. Architecture-centric
approaches to development and systematic evolution, where managing
complexity, cost reduction, risk mitigation, evolvability,
strategic planning and long-term value creation are among the major
drivers for adopting such approaches. It assists the objective
assessment of the lifetime costs and benefits of evolving systems,
and the identification of legacy situations, where architecture or
a component is indispensable but can no longer be evolved to meet
changing needs at economic cost. Such consideration will form the
scientific foundation for reasoning about the economics of
nonfunctional requirements in the context of architectures and
architecting.
Familiarizes readers with essential considerations in
economic-informed and value-driven software design and analysis
Introduces techniques for making value-based software architecting
decisionsProvides readers a better understanding of the methods of
economics-driven architecting
The Definitive, Practical, Proven Guide to Architecting Modern
Software--Fully Updated with New Content on Mobility, the Cloud,
Energy Management, DevOps, Quantum Computing, and More Updated with
eleven new chapters, Software Architecture in Practice, Fourth
Edition, thoroughly explains what software architecture is, why
it's important, and how to design, instantiate, analyze, evolve,
and manage it in disciplined and effective ways. Three renowned
software architects cover the entire lifecycle, presenting
practical guidance, expert methods, and tested models for use in
any project, no matter how complex. You'll learn how to use
architecture to address accelerating growth in requirements, system
size, and abstraction, and to manage emergent quality attributes as
systems are dynamically combined in new ways. With insights for
utilizing architecture to optimize key quality
attributes--including performance, modifiability, security,
availability, interoperability, testability, usability,
deployability, and more--this guide explains how to manage and
refine existing architectures, transform them to solve new
problems, and build reusable architectures that become strategic
business assets. Discover how architecture influences (and is
influenced by) technical environments, project lifecycles, business
profiles, and your own practices Leverage proven patterns,
interfaces, and practices for optimizing quality through
architecture Architect for mobility, the cloud, machine learning,
and quantum computing Design for increasingly crucial attributes
such as energy efficiency and safety Scale systems by discovering
architecturally significant influences, using DevOps and deployment
pipelines, and managing architecture debt Understand architecture's
role in the organization, so you can deliver more value Register

Managing Trade-Offs in Adaptable Software Architectures explores
the latest research on adapting large complex systems to changing
requirements. To be able to adapt a system, engineers must evaluate
different quality attributes, including trade-offs to balance
functional and quality requirements to maintain a well-functioning
system throughout the lifetime of the system. This comprehensive
resource brings together research focusing on how to manage
trade-offs and architect adaptive systems in different business
contexts. It presents state-of-the-art techniques, methodologies,
tools, best practices, and guidelines for developing adaptive
systems, and offers guidance for future software engineering
research and practice. Each contributed chapter considers the
practical application of the topic through case studies,
experiments, empirical validation, or systematic comparisons with
other approaches already in practice. Topics of interest include,
but are not limited to, how to architect a system for adaptability,
software architecture for self-adaptive systems, understanding and
balancing the trade-offs involved, architectural patterns for
self-adaptive systems, how quality attributes are exhibited by the
architecture of the system, how to connect the quality of a
software architecture to system architecture or other system
considerations, and more.
