Abstract

In civil engineering, the architecture of large constructions such as industrial buildings or entire cities plays an important role to achieve their desired properties. Similar, a software system’s architecture defines how the system is built from individual elements and how these are interconnected. Consequently, the software architecture directly influences important quality attributes, e.g., understandability, maintainability, modifiability, scalability or performance. In addition, central architectural design decisions are considered hard to change.
